St. Mary Magdalene (oil, 2009) by Jim Vogel
I think this is the comfiest my art has ever been. Every time I look at it I want to take a nap
Christian transphobia is so funny sometimes
Surely no one in the bible ever changes their name and identity to live a more fulfilling life
Remember, oh most gracious Virgin Mary….. that sometimes I’m an idiot and need your help
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.”
— G.K. Chesterton
transgenderism isn’t an ideology it’s a gift from God actually
No one is beyond compassion or mercy. This is a basic Christian fact
cant pray my way out of it but i can pray my way through it thats how this works
Christian battle jacket but instead of your favorite bands, it’s patches of your favorite images, saints, and verses
there should be a website where you take a personality quiz and then it matches you with a saint and gives you their life story
A God who came near and died for love is a God in solidarity with all those who suffer and are oppressed. This is a God who is incarnate in our hands and hearts. The birth of Jesus is a reminder that God is present in our fragility and solidarity and love. We must carry this candle through the dark.
every day i think about jesus and the samaritan woman at the well. she really said why are you bothering to speak to me? do i matter to someone? does god see people like me? and jesus really said i see you. i love you. god loves all the people you've been told god doesn't love. and honestly when i realized that i wanted to drop a water pot and run screaming about it into town too
thinking about when my friend found a book from the 70s in a church office with truly some of the most insane prayers I have ever heard

A church that doesn't provoke any crisis, a gospel that doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin, a word of God that doesn't touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed -- what gospel is that? Very nice, pious considerations that don't bother anyone, that's the way many would like preaching to be. Those preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not to be harassed, so as not to have conflicts and difficulties, do not light up the world they live in.

happy pride month to religious queer people, who feel like they’re contradictions, or told that they’re contradictions, but stay true to these important parts of themselves anyway. happy pride to the queer religious people who have to explain their identities, and who have to defend their faith or their queerness in either circle.
i love you, i am one of you, thank you for being in this community with me.
You showed no mercy; it will not be shown to you. You opened not your house; you will be expelled from the Kingdom. You gave not your bread; you will not receive eternal life.
