Thanks for sharing, Bob! i think the more people share their struggles, the less there is a stigma. The evangelical church is HORRIBLE at dealing with people struggling with depression and/or mental illness.
Love the analogy of feeling like you are from the moon some days!

Ok, so I’m queer and to evangelical Christians I’m going to hell. That’s ok cuz I’d rather not spend eternity with a bunch of damn hypocrites! I don’t even believe in a burning place called hell anymore. For me, hell is on earth and we see it everyday. The genocide in Darfur, the poverty in ...
when we come to NZ someday we will have to connect for sure!

How do you reconcile an afterlife with people in the OT dying and not having heaven to go to before Jesus? Just curious what your thoughts are on this.

i resonated with this Bart:
'What exactly is "loving" about a deity that would sentence someone to eternal burning? I mean, damn, can we please move on past these Neanderthal beliefs?'

Thanks so much Jonathan!
So true when you said, 'There are so many amazing people around us that we refuse to get to know or even try to understand because we've been taught a gospel of fear vs a gospel of welcome.' i agree and like how you said this!

Fear of the other. It's a great fear because you don't know the other. It can instill a deep-seated hatred of the other if not managed well. That's what homophobia is - hatred and fear of the other. i fear being on the receiving end of homophobia because it hurts and brings about great damage....
