@forestine I can't find the post, but did you write something the other day about community not having to be "in person?" I liked that. I've signed off Facebook which houses my old "in-person" community of church people who I haven't seen in 15+ years. I am in community in Discord and on the fediverse, but it's people I've never met. I've been blogging about #Exvangelical books and the last chapter of these always talk about finding new community and if the only way we can do it is online, it should not be discounted. Thanks.

Why #Deconstructing From #Evangelical #Christianity Is SO Important and SO Difficult

This is a short clip from a full episode of The Kayse Melone Show. Here, I talk about why I think #Deconstruction from Evangelical #Fundamentalist Christianity is so important. Also, what happens after we go through Deconstruction?

Y'know that old canard about how you start out as a young progressive hippie and over time as you get older you become more conservative?

That *totally didn't happen* for me. I've been on the exact opposite journey. 😂

And I'm ready to tear down the whole fucking establishment. ⚒️

Gee, I wonder what my Young Evangelical Republican self would think of me now?! 🌼☮️😌

Jared WhiteI’m really going back to my hippie roots this year.

“Christian nationalists do not see other Christians as valid, and instead see & treat their fellow siblings in Christ as enemy combatants. A common courtesy of shared faith is not extended. Fundamentalists and nationalists do not believe they worship the same god, and they are comfortable enforcing their view of God on people through governance.” —@brchastain #ChristianNationalism #Exvangelical

30 years ago when I came out to my oldest brother, he was about to be deployed as a chaplain to a Marine battalion. He wrote me back telling me that his heart was heavy - I needed to repent of my homosexuality.

Monday, this former fundamentalist preacher sat on my couch and bemoaned all the "old, white, straight snowflakes" currently running the country who get "butt hurt at the slightest mention of accomplishments of the BIPOC community or women."

Love won.

White xtian nationalists love the Constitution the same way that they love the Bible: as a convenient old-timey document to unscrupulously comb through for evidence to support whatever they've been told to believe (which is supposedly derived from said document, but really comes from a handful of 20th-century evangelical leaders like James Dobson and Phyllis Schlafly).
