me when i realize. i can worship deities without 100% believing in them because the concept of them and things they represent are real either way

“Above all, always see Jesus in every person, and consequently treat each one not only as an equal and as a brother or sister, but also with great humility, respect, and selfless generosity.”

The early Quakers were not a reforming movement within the framework of a commonly shared belief in Christ as savior. They were in revolt against what the churches were teaching about salvation by Christ.

jesus was human. sometimes it hits me and im incapable of thinking about anything else. jesus got blisters for walking barefoot & spent entire nights wide awake & got teary eyed while listening to people sing & joked around with his friends & was good with his hands & went swimming in the river when it got too hot & laughed so hard he cried & kissed his mother goodbye & liked when people played with his hair & was always kind to children & stopped to pet stray dogs & got grumpy when he was tired & wept for his life & asked to not be left alone & bled & loved & lived & died

God is not merely sympathetic to our suffering. God is empathetic, compassionate. He suffers with us. That, for me, is the meaning of the incarnation. Likewise, we add to the enjoyment of God in our joys and successes. We feel with God as God feels with us.

transgenderism isn’t an ideology it’s a gift from God actually

to live life in the service of god, in his image, you HAVE to live life in the service of yourself AND others. and the cool thing about that is, if you find the rhythym, both strengthen each other. respect and service for yourself will lay the foundation for respect and service for others, and both are inherently acts of love towards god, because he is within us. find the parts of you, the parts of others, that shine with the light of god (hint: its everything) and praise them. act in love and you are acting in worship.

"oh so you're spiritual but not religious" no actually I am deeply religious in alarmingly carnal and esoteric ways. If you even care.
