time for mass ⛪️

Okay so, this is so incredibly true. My headmate does this a lot, calling me a dork after laughing a bunch, and I like it so much I started doing it to my partner lol

uncontrollable laughter followed by the phrase "you're a dork" is the greatest thing you can ever hear.

you will not change my mind

As a queer Christian here I want to add a bit about how my religion has caused these issues and how it's affected me and other queer Christians personally

Normative Christianity has a SERIOUS issue with just casually doing sexual violence to just so so many peoples from natives to trans people to literally like all women. It's disgusting.

I have here yet another relevant banger quote from one of my favorite queer theologians, Marcella Althaus-Reid on the way purity and Totalotarian-Theology has nestled it's way into the center of Christian (particularly Roman Catholic) thought: "Theology can see blood in wine but not blood in blood. The Vatican can see tears in the eyes of the statues of the Virgin Mary, or sweat on her robes when considering the legitimacy of a claimed apparition, but cannot see a trace of semen on her skirts." (Althaus-Reid, The Queer God)

As a queer Christian I am of the firm belief that reclaiming and queering the religion is one of the best ways to combat this. Althaus-Reid talks about how God has been closeted, how the god of the lower classes was seen as "impure" and so the god of evangelical and many modern Christians is made in opposition to these. It's defined in a similar way hegemonic masculinity is defined as the antithesis of femininity. Gay and slutty god has been thrown into the closet. We need to make some drastic changes to our theology to account for the experiences of all people, especially the poor, the gay, and the oppressed. That's like, the whole point of the "preferential option for the poor". So when asked if I believe Mary was a virgin, honestly, I'm not so sure I think we should insist she is. And I'm not just talking about faith and miracles. That's another conversation. I'm speaking from a purely utilitarian theological lens. What do we gain by making that claim really? Like, what is it about virginity that's so "immaculate"? It's an old metaphor and we need to drop it in favor of more fruitful ones because clearly this is hurting people. To any Christians reading this; our metaphors have become stale af guys, the theology we seem to have given to the masses islike, the fast food of theology... let's do better?

Reclaiming sexy lesbian nuns or an "impure" depiction of Mary or Jesus is part of my religion; I think the metaphor is a better fit for human experience, I think it's fundamentally more divine. More human. Purity culture is SO midcentury. Bad bitch nuns wear thigh highs and goth makeup and god says "yeah bitch, slay".

they’re doing slutty nun discourse on twitter

He can come build a church with me. Let's do it. Trans Male nuns are my religion. Hed fit right next to the Enby priest with big naturals who talks about kenosis and theodicy being process and that this alludes to the transgender experience.
