Job and God is added to my bible tragedies

“God poured me out like milk and curdled me like cheese” sounds like a post you’d find on tumblr dot com, but it is in fact Job 10:10

I was walking out of the Walmart today, and a car passed me, and I got this incredibly vivid impression. It wasn't really in words, but if I had to put it into words, the two key points would be

a). I needed to watch that car and

b). That I needed to be careful, because the driver of the car was a massive bitch.

It kind of took me by surprise, because I really had no reason to be beefing with that car, and I also hadn't really had an impression like that since I was religious, which was in my teen years. Right? It'd been a decade since I had a little voice whisper in my ear, and I'd basically written it off as nonsense.

Anyway, I watched the car, because The Spirits or whatever were very insistent that I did. Car drove fine, went into the parking spot, inched forward, and right when it should've just stopped, the driver gunned it for some reason and it ran into the curb and cracked its bumper.

So, the driver got out, and she went to the front of the car to check that yes, she had cracked her bumper, and then she turned to look at me. The parking lot wasn't empty, but we were the only two people standing in that row, and I'd probably been staring at her for tenish seconds now.

She demanded very angrily to know why I hadn't warned her of the curb. And I could have said I didn't know you were about to gun it or is it my job to help every stranger park, or even could you have even heard me, inside your car?

And all of those would have been fine, but I was really, really busy digesting that I had somehow communed with Mormon Jesus again for the first time in fifteen years, and that the communion had mostly been there to let me watch someone park badly (?), so what I responded with was:

"Because it was foretold."

And I can't tell which would be funnier, if she went silent because there's not much to be said to that, or if she went silent because in Utah, she might actually believe me, but we parted ways without more words.

I'm still kind of digesting this myself, actually.

Experiencing Oneness with God: A Deeper Look at John 14:20

Introduction: In Christian teaching, we often emphasize the unique relationship between Jesus and God the Father. Jesus, as the Son of God, is understood to have a special connection with the Divine—a connection that many Christians see as exclusive to Him. Yet, when we look closely at Jesus’ own words, we find something even more profound: an invitation to share in this divine relationship, to…

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

As of today (Nov. 26), three Palestinian men in Vermont have been shot and are in critical condition. "Their crime? Wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh." On Oct. 14, Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6 year old Palestinian child, was murdered and his mother stabbed by their landlord in Illinois because they were Muslim. On Oct. 28, Dr. Talat Jehan Khan, a Pakistani-American Muslim, was murdered outside her apartment in Texas.

These hate crimes and others like them are the direct result of the U.S. government and media's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians that Israel is carrying out. The blood is on their hands as much as it is the individual perpetrator's.
