Happy Pride Week Halifax!

I watched this three times because the message is so good.  The  fact that the reverend of this faith can rejoice in diversity makes me wonder what hater preachers and haters get out of their faith, out of their hate?  I have been listening to the book Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang.  He is like Dan McClellan in that he is a biblical scholar; he knows the original manuscripts, times of use for each edition, and where different translations screw things up, and Fugelsang is a comedian, so he can throw it all out there with humor.   I recomend everyone try to find the book or the audio book.  He has whole chapters taking on the different haters and the clobber verses of the bible.  He shows what the original meaning, as far as can be known of each of those verses was, correcting the misunderstand and hate.   He like me feels that Christians follow Christ, biblcians follow the bible and they get that wrong because they don’t know the subtext or original intent; they hear only what the weekend preacher said who is preaching his version of the bible, not Christ’s.   Happy Pride week Halifax.  Long may your flags fly.   Hugs


What do you think of Pope Leo’s comments on gay marriage?

Personal note.  I am doing better.  I am eating two meals a day most days.  Not much for supper but something most nights.  I am still fatigued / tired but I am not spending so many hours in bed.  I am still going to bed early and staying in bed 12 to 14 hours.  I go to in the morning and in the afternoon but that is partly due to the intense pain in my right butt and leg along with my back not just being too tired to stay up.  I will try to get enough caught up enough to do a video.   Ron has caught on and is paying a lot of attention to me.  He is worried.  He is doing everything he can around the house including doing the dishes when I am in bed so I find them done the next morning.  But as I tell him this will take time.  I did not get so ill overnight; I won’t get back to full strength quickly either.  Hugs 

SCOTUS to hear religious freedom case about Roman Catholic preschools refusing LGBTQ+ families

I had my allergy shots this morning.  Ron and Diane have gone to see if they can find the casino in the next county over.  I am trying to stay awake.  I want to see if I can reply to a few comments before going back to bed.  Fof those that don’t know I am not eating.  I have one meal in the morning and spend most of my time in bed these days.  My blood tests showed my red and white blood cells were all messed up.  Animia?  Cancer?  Depression?  My body breaks down under stress, and I have been stressed since November of last year.  It is a lot less right now with Ron home but he still has little time for stuff at home because of the need to spend so much time with his sister.  Plus he is having health issues as well.  The real issue is I am tired.  Just so tired I am unable to think, eat, or even engage with Ron.  I find I am easily irritated, and when he reached out to touch me in bed I snaped at him for it.  I have not reacted that way in a long time.  I like his touch.   I have lost between 8 to 10 pounds because I am not eating.  I keep this up and I could get from my normal 170 t the goal of 150 pounds I want. 😀😃😉😎.  Ron is concerned and says if we don’t see improvement next week I have to contact my primary care doctor.  It all seems like too much work, I just want to go back to bed.  The pain is less there.  My right leg becomes so painful after five minutes of use I can’t really walk and I have to do the dishes with a rolling very high adjustable stool.  

Anyway the video below is a great example of why real Christians are not bigots.  I wish I felt up to posting more videos, it is all I seem able to do right now, just watch videos.   Be well, and enjoy the Rev. explain why bigotry is a really bad thing for the Christian church.  Hugs

Canada’s Proposed Hate Speech Law – Don’t worry you can still humiliate, discredit, hurt and offend

I have the same idea as the Reverend on this issue.  It is how I handle my comments on my blog.  Attack the ideas, not the person expressing them.  Hugs

What do you think of MAGA Christians ruining God’s reputation?

The idea of living to show others your lifestyle with god is something they want was what the SDA highly religious farmer taught me as a teen.  He said we strive to live our lives in such a way that people want what we have, a relationship with the god we worship.  It was why the allies went over to East Berlin from West Berlin, it was to show the people what we had that they could have if they got rid of their current government.  Hugs

Preachers claiming war is part of God’s plan

What do you think about the BLIND refugee abandoned by Border Patrol?

How do you think we can make our bathrooms safe?

I love this video.  Rev. Ed Trevors correctly says there are more problems and harms to children caused by people who look like him than there are from trans people.  Ge calls trans haters cowards.  Hugs.

Indiana Has An Asshat, God-Awful, Hateful, Preacher…

I know in the last few days I have posted a lot of what I think is important stuff.  But if you have ever wanted to hear a grand response to a hate preacher calling for the death of gay people then you need to watch this video.  The reverend is as upset and agitated as I have ever seen him.  He not only debunks the hate preachers arguments but uses the verses before and after to show how wrong people that use that to hate on gays are.   Hugs.
