God loves your body. Your intersex body, your transsexual body, your nonbinary body, your transgender body, your genderqueer body, your androgynous body. Whatever body you have, God loves it dearly.

The worst part of Christian fragility is when individual Christians try to defend their faith from accusations of anti-Semitism by throwing another denomination under the bus, like … people, please, you’ve all been hideous over the centuries.

And, no, I’m not saying that there’s no difference between a member of the Westboro Baptist Church and a Quaker but like …

1.) There was no pure, non-anti-Semitic version of Christianity that existed before “the bad Christians” ruined it. There are anti-Semitic verses in the New Testament (and YES they are actually anti-Semitic I don’t care about whatever convoluted explanation your pastor told you to justify them). Christians have enacted violence on Jews in multiple sects from multiple countries throughout history. Christians still engage in cultural appropriation and see us as targets for conversion. Any work against anti-Semitism a church does is an active dismantling of that violent history. It’s not a default factory setting your faith had before the heretics ruined it.

2.) Whenever you’re like “No, that’s not us, that’s the Catholics/Protestants/Evangelicals!” – you’re not saying this because you care about Jews. You’re saying this because you want to get another shot in the ongoing beef with Denomination X and you’re using us to do it and trust us, we resent it and do. not. care. And half the time you’re wrong about your sect being innocent, anyway. (Looking at you, Lutherans who have never read Martin Luther’s writings on Jewish people.)

I’m not saying this because I hate all Christians – a huge chunk of my family is Catholic, including my husband – or I want to make my Christian friends feel bad, but this drives me nuts whenever I see it and I know it’s never going to end because so many Christians are going to be eternally stuck in this mode.

no, you are not "running from God". He's in front of you
