im quite pleased with the amount of heterodox and/or heretical folks on tumblr lol, ive found my people 🙏

Love is love

What the Bible says about homosexuality: (nothing)

What the Qur'an says about homosexuality: (nothing)

The only verses that are twisted to discuss homosexuality are entirely mistranslated and/or misinterpreted by both sets of people who follow them.

Instead, what both scriptures tell us is a story of a Prophet of God, Lut (AS), who told a city to follow the path God has laid out for all of us.

But the city of Sodom not only ignored him, but they decided to present and reinforce their power and status through terror and r-pe, a story that is not at all unbelievable as we watch people go into political power with shocking histories of sexual 'transgressions' alongside a hideous contempt for the very fabric of humanity in many cases.

The moral of the story of Lut (AS) is this:

Extend hospitality, generosity, and protection to others

Don't be greedy, stingy, or thieving

Protect vulnerable people

Do not lust over power

Have mutual respect and love for each other

Condemn fucking r-pe (didn't think we had to write that one down, but here we are)

Don't be a dick.

Follow God

OP you need to say this so much louder for the people in the back!

a common syncretism question

i get asked often how i syncretize judaism and islam (understandably!) but probably my least favorite "question" is when people say "well you can't syncretize that because X and Y beliefs are different." i fear people don't know that syncretism isn't just simultaneous practice of several beliefs but is indeed the forming of new beliefs/traditions from those original ones.

also, if religions A and B had no differing beliefs, they would be the same religion!! thus making syncretism impossible in the minds of some people. i respect the confusion but it gets so tiring to explain this specific thing lol

why tumblr gotta be so real like this lol

chag chanukkah sameach!!

Before you say “religion”...

Take a moment and ask yourself a few questions:

- Do you mean just 1 religion? 

- Do you know enough about the all worlds religions to make a potentially harmful generalization about all of them?

- Are you making assumptions about other religions based off of your experience with one religion?

- Are you making assumptions about other religions and cultures based on your limited experience with a single person or group of people from said religion or culture?

- Are you taking out your valid frustrating, anger, hurt, and pain with one religious group on people who have nothing to do with it by making a generalization?

If you don’t actually mean the every single one of the vast, diverse, multi-faceted religions in the world, don’t make a blanket statement and list the one(s) you mean specifically. This also goes for using ‘grouping’ labels that do not apply, like Abrahamic, etc.
