on this easter sunday, it’s important to remember that jesus was a refugee, was homeless for the entirety of his ministerial work, openly spoke against the wealthy, fed and healed people for FREE, hung out with outcasts like prostitutes/the sick/others rejected by society, was not white, and was crucified by people who thought his teachings were too radical because he preached indiscriminatory acceptance, love, and empathy.
it’s important to realize that the people in the american government who consider themselves “followers of christ” would most certainly deport him to an el salvadorian prison if he appeared here today.
i have not been very open about my religious beliefs on here, mostly because i never saw a point to bring them up, but i grew up catholic and went to catholic school for 12 years. i don’t consider myself devout whatsoever, but i’m more of a fan of ACTUAL jesus and not “american christian jesus”. i have so many close family members who have passed away, and it comforts me to think that there is something out there after death—that i will see them again someday.
but the more i see of american politics, especially by people who are trying to push “christian nationalism”, the more i realize these people have NO CLUE about the religion they supposedly follow.
anyways! end rant. bye
