Holy fuck, I’ve been reading through a TON of MRA and Feminist blogs tonight. This has been a roller coaster ride. Both have valid points, both have their loons. This whole thing is very touchy, and plenty of people have very strong opinions whether they be conservative to radical. I’ve seen so…

“

Christ didn’t experience just any death, but a death reserved for those who challenged the oppressive power structures of the time. Jesus’ teachings of liberation threatened Rome. But even more so, they threatened the religious leaders of the day: spiritually abusive leaders who had turned their backs on Judaism’s message of justice and mercy and had twisted the teachings to oppress others.

Jesus stood with the oppressed. He healed on the Sabbath. He advocated for the poor. He spoke out against the abuse of women. And those in power killed him for it. They silenced his message (but it couldn’t quite stay dead, could it?).

Maybe this is the real message of the cross. That the God of all creation loved the oppressed enough to become one with them, even in death–the ultimate tool of oppressive forces.

The cross cannot just mean that we are “saved from sin,” and “going to heaven.” Our speaking about the cross cannot just sound like those cliched platitudes that Christians often tell those who are hurting. The cross that Jesus reclaimed from the Roman Empire has fallen back into the hands of oppressors, becoming a tool of white supremacy, of patriarchy, of heterosexism and transphobia, of the military and prison industrial complex, of those who wage warfare on the poor.

But I want to reclaim it, like Christ did.

If we are to find liberation in the crucifixion, then the cross must stand as a middle finger to oppressive power structures.The cross of Jesus reveals the ugly truth behind oppressive power, and then the cross mocks that power through the resurrection.

Miss Piggy On Beauty

What are your top beauty tips?

Start out perfect and don’t change a thing. Always accentuate your best features by pointing at them. And conceal your flaws by sucker punching anyone who has the audacity to mention them.

Never too old to learn from the Muppets.

And this:

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.” - Miss Piggy

And another one.

On the left, a woman does the exact same thing.

I seriously can’t believe this is a thing people are actually upset bout.

thefreelioness:

Innocent woman is stripped nude by six (male & female) cops and left naked in a cell for six hours.

The footage makes me feel physically ill. She called 911 because she had been assaulted by a cousin. The woman later told her husband she felt she had been “raped without penetration.” I would have felt the same.

(huge trigger warning here)

Utterly inexcusable. “Disciplinary action” doesn’t cover what these officers deserve.

"American Christianity has created a culture of theological permanence, where individuals are..."

Tue, 14 May 2013 21:35:57 -0400

“American Christianity has created a culture of theological permanence, where individuals are expected to learn a set of beliefs and latch onto them for the rest of their lives….Theologies are often considered too “valuable,” “right,” and “holy” to change or question. Therefore, pastors debate instead of dialogue, professors preach instead of listen, schools propagate instead of discuss, and faith-based communities ultimately reject any form of honest questioning and doubt. […]

But theology — our study and beliefs about God — should be a natural process involving change instead of avoiding it. Our God is too big and too wonderful to completely understand by the time we graduate high school, or college, or get married, or have children, or retire. Our life experiences, relationships, education, exposure to different cultures and perspectives continually affect the way we look at God. Our faith is a journey, a Pilgrim’s Progress, and our theology will change. And while we may not agree with a person’s new theological belief, we need to stop seeing the inherent nature of change as something negative.”

- Stephen Mattson, “Christians: It’s NOT a Sin to Change Your Beliefs” (via kre-do)
