“They’re our brothers and sisters. When we stop seeing people that way it’s so easy to start making laws or enacting policies that harm them.”
Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoesLong hair, beard and sandals
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon we’d just nail him up
If he came down again‘Cause everybody’s gotta have somebody to look down on
Who they can feel better than at any time they please
Someone doin’ somethin’ dirty decent folks can frown on
If you can’t find nobody else, then help yourself to meJesus Was A Capricorn - Kris Kristofferson

Yeah, no way We’re letting a long haired, bearded freak into our church…
I wanted to reply with a picture of black Jesus, but holy shit, image searche yields just page after page of garbage AI art. Mostly from etsy. Often without nipples, because AI still can’t figure out brown nipples on brown people

A catholic is surprised the catholic church is an authoritarian shithole.
He’s learning
He was a theology teacher. I think he knows. The article says he knew that church was conservative but thought they might be the best group to hear his message because they don’t hear such from anyone else.
Not even Jesusy.
More people need to be doing this at churches. Its the easiest way to fix the free speech narratives:
“why are churches trying to ban the words of jesus?” “These are public spaces that get tax breaks for being public spaces, why is there censorship in these places”

Fucking legend.
I’m an Episcopal priest, and I’m trying to imagine how I’d respond to this. The only time I’ve ever had to ask someone to leave was when a, say, mentally unbalanced man came into the church and screamed profanity at me in the middle of the service and told me that I needed the permission of the Korean consulate to preach (this was a white guy in a Navy sailor’s cap, in Hawai’i where I live—not sure what his deal with Korea was). He did this twice over a couple years and I have a person who works with unhoused veterans in my parish who’s told me that she’d been instructed not to interact with the guy because he was deemed too dangerous. So, asking him to leave was a safety issue. But no one tackled him.
I’d like to think that I’d let this guy have his say. If he’s not cussing anyone out or getting violent, I’d probably let him talk and then invite him to hang out and talk some after the service. I sure as shit wouldn’t demand him to “respect my authoritah” or see him tackled to the ground. That is something I can’t wrap my head around.
Seems like some apologies and confession seems to be in order here and not by Jimbo. Wow!
A church to the antichrist. You will treat the sorjourner as your own.
