Jesus ship and the holy crusades. Final crusade just got sworn in. Red in white out .

4gabriel.bsky.social•131 days ago

Yea we did just learn today because yall been quiet all the other times it’s counted

ghostyspook.bsky.social•131 days ago

Never quiet, just not the kind of mega churches and awful ones that get press

4gabriel.bsky.social•131 days ago

When I see congregations bussing in -in the numbers that I see those other Christians protesting women’s freedoms- I’ll be more convinced. Nothing stopping yall from press releases announcing what your fighting -otherwise it’s a tree falling in the woods

ghostyspook.bsky.social•131 days ago

Bussing in? What are you talking about

My church was at pride and in the paper. I bet you aren’t looking for it and don’t see it bc they are absolutely vocal.

4gabriel.bsky.social•131 days ago

Where I live churches have people bussed in to do protests sometimes -people not even from this state. So sorry to shock you but 🤷‍♀️

ghostyspook.bsky.social•131 days ago

Well you didn’t include the word ‘protest’ so it was woefully unclear

This talk Of shocking is silly. Maybe the churches your looking for are serving their own communities and that’s why you don’t notice

They’re not performative

suhnih.kawaii.social•131 days ago

Oh shit really?

rpgden.bsky.social•131 days ago

Define "very large" because it's feels like a really small number vs evangelicult.

kathgridermahannah.bsky.social•131 days ago

The episcopal church as well.

hikercat.bsky.social•131 days ago

I have found the Methodist and Episcopalian Churches generally are the most in line with Christ's teachings both publically and through actions.

The Roman Catholics and Evangelicals I found to be the most hypocritical

kid301.bsky.social•131 days ago

No Christian who truly lives in Christs service is my enemy and I’m a motherlovin’ WITCH

blakethaleo.bsky.social•131 days ago

I completely agree! There’s very few of them!

jeromyo.bsky.social•131 days ago

I love Tom Petty

tjl77.bsky.social•131 days ago

Jesus was a fucking asshole. Is it shocking that I said that? Worse than jones or koresh or father divine or trump. All manipulative, insane cult bosses and nothing more, addicted to fooling people and laughing at them. Glad he got pinned up on a piece of wood. Is this offensive?

leftypleb.bsky.social•131 days ago

I thought all US Churches were of the Israel-supporting end of days variety. Seems like that from the outside.

judyblue007.bsky.social•131 days ago

As a recovering - or fallen if you prefer - catholic, I've always admired those i call the "peace catholics", those non-judgmental catholics for peace and love. They are out there in all denominations. I love that (am not such a being, myself, though).

jadecloudwa.bsky.social•131 days ago

I hope so. Let our voices of hope and peace and love be heard and felt

knoxymama.bsky.social•131 days ago

Love that church so much. ♥️

When the Nazis were targeting my community over an elementary school kid using a different name in school, they vandalized one of the local churches with a rainbow on it.

Please, Hollywood UNITED Methodist Church. There is a profound difference now.

drummerfromfife.bsky.social•131 days ago

Can't believe I'm asking this, but was there a church in Back to the Future? Is this the one where Biff marries Lorraine in Part 2?

weirdandwonderful.bsky.social•131 days ago

Thank you, I thought maybe just me and I'm getting old and forgetful because I don't remember a church in BTF

drummerfromfife.bsky.social•131 days ago

I've seen all three movies a million times. The only one I remember is in 1985-A when Biff marries Lorraine...

firetrump.bsky.social•131 days ago

The Christian Left!! Yay!
We've been around for a while now, some say it started with Jesus!! (Feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, etc)

atqueens.bsky.social•131 days ago

So was Moses, or am I misremembering. And Lot? And Noah?

goodpapajamma.bsky.social•131 days ago

The Church in Sister Act was St. Paul's on Church street in San Francisco. I was married there.

My grandpa used to preach there. ❤️

wasabimomma.bsky.social•131 days ago

I love it! Sadly real Christians in America are very few and far between

jackiegardens.bsky.social•131 days ago

All the better. More powr to them!

sfgaymom.bsky.social•131 days ago

Not true. The church and sister act was a church on Church Street in Noe Valley San Francisco.

The Presbyterian church in my town has a large rainbow sign out front that says “all are welcome here.” And that makes me wish I was religious. Good peoples in there.

grape-jelly1.bsky.social•131 days ago

They also have female pastors giving mass and most of them have amazing services. I’m catholic but I like to go there sometimes.

coaxialcabledad.bsky.social•131 days ago

I was raised southern Pentecostal soooo I’m pretty good at speaking snake 🥲

luisluna2112.bsky.social•131 days ago

In related news...Jesus probably never existed in the way we've been brainwashed to believe. Let's form our arguments with facts. Not myths.

jillco.bsky.social•131 days ago

...and a liberal and a socialist.

brhi.bsky.social•131 days ago

Jesus is make believe

omgemmalee.bsky.social•131 days ago

He was a socialist, refugee, Jewish middle eastern man.

rae808.bsky.social•131 days ago

Ah shucks wouldn't you know that Jesus wore sandals, had long hair and a beard. He fed the multitudes, healed the sick, and forgave those who sinned through weakness. The only time I ever remember him getting angry was when people used the Church for money and Power in the name of God...

jonathancwatson.com•131 days ago

We Presbys (PCUSA) are pretty progressive as well!

rwkonner.bsky.social•131 days ago

Too bad all these righteous people didn't vote

doomfondant.bsky.social•131 days ago

The progressive branch of the Methodist Church is pretty cool. I have family members who worship and do service there.

granadee.bsky.social•131 days ago

xiimls.bsky.social•131 days ago

I run sound for a progressive inclusive All Are Welcome type of church! And, they know I'm agnostic, and my sex positive ideals, and sex work is real work!

christydunks.bsky.social•131 days ago

I’ve driven by it many times, going to or from work. I don’t work over that way anymore, but it always gave me a little bit of hope. They’re also LGBTQ+ friendly.

exadium.bsky.social•131 days ago

Jesus isn't real. Christianity (Also called "MAGA" and Conservatism") are all the same generational scams. It's all nonsense created for the purpose of mass indoctrinating children and grooming them to be ignorant adults. All of this insanity is on the Cult of Christianity. It always has been.

lthrldy.bsky.social•131 days ago

Awesome! Just an FYI. I attend a Catholic Church in Minneapolis that denounces homophobia, racism, misogyny and the basic tenets of the Doctrine of Discovery.
We’re in trouble with the Bishop, traditional Catholics and the diocese in general. But, we don’t give up.

golden-girll.bsky.social•131 days ago

That’s my neighborhood! They are lovely there although I’ve only attended services twice there. But they have historically been progressive

liravenwolf.bsky.social•131 days ago

Hope exists in the most unlikely of places.

mobyfoo.bsky.social•131 days ago

Tf fr? There's a church in Back to the Future?

fill-freakin.bsky.social•131 days ago

And Elon Musk was an illegal alien at the start of his business endeavours. Although he doesn't admit to it anymore. How his tune has changed.

noelmurphy.bsky.social•131 days ago

No use !
Trump has absolutely no idea, he is just faking it !
Just makes threats to the vulnerable to get an angle !
Trump would not recognise a "Christian principle" if it bit him on the arse.
Trump is now making the American poor poorer.......

jeff-hart.bsky.social•131 days ago

Unfortunately they’ve been largely silent for the last decade

dxmulligrubs.bsky.social•131 days ago

Hallelujah!

ladylightbulb.bsky.social•131 days ago

I personally haven't heard these Christians speaking up against the insanity and inhumanity.

hurty.net•131 days ago

The exterior church scenes for Sister Act were shot at St Paul Catholic Church in San Francisco. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_Paul%27s_Catholic_Church_(San_Francisco)_(1).jpg

laukidh.bsky.social•131 days ago

It was used for filming inside

lovemypupper.bsky.social•131 days ago

When did it go up?

flying-hun.bsky.social•131 days ago

My particular congregation within the @unitedchurch.bsky.social has been open and affirming for more than twenty years. We're out here, but you may not have heard of us because unlike Jeffress, Graham, et al, we follow what Jesus told us in Matthew 6:1
