i will never understand how straight christians (mostly protestants…) are so flippant and casual about their relationship with God.
like y’all dont break down crying in the middle of church because you crave to feel a glimpse of the love of God? like y’all don’t have random bursts of anger towards God while doing menial tasks? like y’all dont get vicerally angry and panicked when you see bible verses about God written in cutesy letters? y’all dont have a crisis of faith at least once a year? literally so unrelatable!!

“God is supreme in feeling, supreme in responsiveness. God is the subjective moment that holds the whole together with the greatest love…God is the cosmic embrace that tenderly welcomes all, the being most moved by the world, ‘the fellow sufferer who understands.”

“Every day I am afraid that he [Jesus] died for nothing because he is buried in our churches, because we have betrayed his revolution in our obedience to and fear of the authorities.”

It’s been said before but:
In Jesus’s crucifixion we learn that the powers that be are violent, untrustworthy, and illegitimate.
In Jesus’s resurrection we learn that the powers that be do not have ultimate power or the final word.
That is the basis of my politics - that the status quo is violent and evil, and that there is hope for us to fight back.

“Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness, and pride of power and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear rather than too much. Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. Christians should take a stronger stand in favor of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong.”

4. anguish at the world’s ending
5. deep connection to nature
6. t e n d e r n e s s
7. horniness
8. profound love
9. “honey”

“Girls know they are losing themselves… Girls become fragmented, their selves spilt into mysterious contradictions. They are sensitive and tenderhearted, mean and competitive, superficial and idealistic. They are confident in the morning and overwhelmed with anxiety by nightfall. They rush through their days with wild energy and then collapse into lethargy. They try on new roles every week: this week the good student, next week the delinquent and the next, the artist.”
