Are you a conservative who's angry about the price of gas?
Luckily, there are solutions.
You could buy your own gas station then set the price to whatever you want.
You could just walk everywhere instead of driving. No one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy gas.
You could work harder and make smarter choices. Then, you wouldn't be struggling so much.
You could give up the little bit of enjoyment in your life so you could save enough money to afford the expensive gas.
What's that? That advice is complete nonsense and downright cruel to even suggest?
Yeah. You're right. It is. But that's what you've been saying to struggling people since forever. And now you act like it's some horrific injustice when the group of people who are struggling now includes you.
Crazy how our bodies are literally built for pleasure and overly ascetic patriarchal religions try to tell us that our flesh is evil. We have thousands of taste buds for enjoying delicious food and drink. Happy hormones are triggered when we dance. We can sing to entertain ourselves and others. Conscious, aligned sex with a good partner feels great and improves your health. We have beautiful eyes, figures, lips, hair to attract each other. We laugh so hard we cry and it feels GREAT. The smell of a rose on a warm summer breeze lifts my mood instantly. Our bodies are so so sacred. Nature is sacred. The Divine dwells in the earth and within us just as much as 'up there'.
“First love does not mean best love. And best friends may not mean best friends forever. But they both mean at some point, somewhere, someone did care. And their memories still there.”
2) Well, if we (LGBTQ and allies) clearly suck at being Christians, maybe we should leave the church in mass, leave the religion and find a new one. One that’s really about love and acceptance.
