me: how do churches deal with gluten at communion
first response on a catholic forum:
The Roman Catholic church is the only Christian faith with any mettle.
It’s not bread. It’s Jesus, dipshit. Next question.
It’s jesus, but also jesus’ body activates Celiac’s
here’s a tip
this is a Nazi.
This is a person who reblogged a post of mine via some Nazi blogs.
Notice they do not call themselves a Nazi. Instead, they use a collection of dog whistle interests that require specific contexts to be understood as basically white nationalism, colonialist white-heritage ‘antiquities’, specifically white nationalist Christianity, Nazi-related gender roles and ‘traditionalism’. Notice they work with children.
Learn to recognize Nazis. They do not look like goose-stepping jack booted thugs all of the time. Beware.
“traditionalism” is a big red flag with a swastika right in the center.
Be wary of anyone who self-describes that way.
Anonymous asked:
Yes! The ‘dark ages’ is a purely European term. During the European dark ages, eastern society, especially middle eastern societies, were making incredible strides in the sciences. Most of what we consider ‘European discoveries’ in astronomy actually come from middle eastern or Chinese discoveries.
I wonder what kind of symbolism they’re trying to get at
“There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.” -Kazuya Tsurumaki, assistant director/art director on Neon Genesis Evangelion
eva is literally fake deep
tbh the Japanese sprinkling Christianity into their media like a cheap vaguely spooky seasoning is a tonic for my soul
joseph: mary, how are you pregnant?
mary, who’s about to invent christianity: oh? haven’t you heard?
My favorite song
POPE TWITTER IS FUCKING POPPIN
things heat up in the jesus fandom
SWEET POTATOES YES. I adore Fr. Martin.
Looked into it, and it’s real. Not only that, but if you look at his twitter account, he made some more awesome tweets that day that make me really happy to be a Catholic. I’ll include screenshots and text versions of them below.
It saddens me that a #trans student cannot choose what bathrooms to use. A basic need. It’s an affront to their dignity as human beings.
And who is harmed by a #trans student using a bathroom? I’ve seen women using men’s rooms when the ladies’ rooms were full. Who is harmed?
As usual, the one who is made to suffer indignities is the one on the margins, the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them.”
But for Jesus, there is no “other.” There is no “them.” There is only “us.” So we must be about openness, acceptance and inclusion. #trans
Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the confused, the outcast, the minority? The Christian should. #trans
Because Jesus did.
His Facebook post that day says something similar: Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the outcast, the confused, the hurt? Who should stand with the one seen as “different,” the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them”? Who should stand with people who often stand alone? The Christian should. Because Jesus did.
This is how the positive versions of Christianity work.
