When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

#still not really sure what part of this joke was funny?#cuz if the prank had worked #then they would have made an 8 year old think she had lost her family and been rejected by god #which isn’t really much of a joke #Christian’s are weird yall #pirateprincessjess

the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it

it really does drive me crazy when ppl act like magdalene visaggio invented the idea of transfem kon and act like its so sad her proposal got rejected. lest we forget, she also:

called kon "the jason todd of the superfam"

claimed that the name "kon-el" is bad because "it's still a name someone else gave him"

(yet still decided to call transfem kon "constance lara" as in, lara lor-van and some conveniently made-up relative of martha's after that. lol.)

said her vision of transition involves burning down everything about your old life and who you used to be

DIRECTLY compared superman to jesus christ

came up with antagonists named "saint", "shepherd", and "savior"

had kon abandon his relationships with the kents to go fuck off to live in texas with jinny hex, because as we know, trans people can't have loving or supportive families

introduced a plot with kon resenting clark despite that like. only being a thing in yja before

SUPERMARTIAN. THE FUCKING SUPERMARTIAN.

"leland" aka the "luthor-dominant" clone brother he had. bc hey we LOVE emphasizing biological family over anything else. also in proud geoff tradition, we can't google basic genetics terms right??

and again. the EGREGIOUS christian allegories rubbed all over the SUPERFAM. you know. the immigrant family based on a character made by jewish people in the wake of ww2.

like ngl. every single time i see someone going "ohhh but dc rejected this proposal so sad..." i just go ah youre white arent u. or u just dont... care abt the antisemitism inherent in "superman = jesus christ" being directly stated in the text? "rimi who is saying this in 2024" youd be surprised i literally JUST saw a post going wahhh we couldve had it all. i know i can't fix peoples reading comprehension skills but my god man. "jason todd of the superfam". what if i became the joker of the superfam

#rimi talks #did dc probably reject it bc they dont want a transfem character in superfam atm? yeah probably.#DID IT FUCKING SUCK FOR A LOT OF REASONS ANYWAY? FUCKING YES #like im sorry but christianizing the superfam is just. lmao. can we not. why do people keep praising this...#kon

Hellboy

Hellboy from Hellboy is Christian!

#i thought he looked sketchy at first but i read the article and i guess it does make sense 😂#within the context of his world. secular writers have no idea what demons actually are #and i could go on a whole rant about how it's about the choice. it's not a fantasy race; demons are intentionally evil #but if some story is using them like a fantasy race for background and the character is a half demon good guy.#then i say that counts. he didn't choose to be a demon on purpose by rejecting God #anyway. i meant to not rant about it but i think i did anyway. speech over #hellboy #your fave is christian

"Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.

These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called 'bummer lambs.' Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does?

He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock.

But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first?

That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one.

So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat.

I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!"

seriously considering learning to gif just so I can find a single gifset of magneto’s god-fearing man speech from x men (2000)

#it’s SO rare that any piece of media makes a character recognizably jewish in a way that isn’t just nazis or hannukah #and the specific of framing of that scene… queer jewish magneto talking to a religious right wing senator #saying no. god isn’t a destroyer god is a teacher #what you’re really scared of is *me*#just. like. yeah! that’s it!!#the foundation of Jewish tradition for the past two millennia has been based around the idea #that the Torah was given to moshe on sinai *for us to interpret*#so the fact that magneto so explicitly embraces that while rejecting the christian view of a vengeful god……….#is. uniquely well executed #also. sir ian mckellen absolutely kills it as magneto in that movie #x men (2000)#I also really personally enjoy magneto’s subtextual rejection as god as being particularly relevant to Jewish practice #but that’s just bc it jives with my philosophy

ok i like that post and i wasnt going to put it into the tags, but Catholicism is Christianity. Separating Christianity that way bugs me personally bc the sentiment echoes anti-Catholic biases of the past. A more accurate term would be Protestant and Catholic.

#and even then theres stuff like mormonism and jehovah's witness and seventh day adventist that are definitely not catholic #but also reject being considered protestant. even tho they are Christian #also the orthodox church exists but i doubt most of the people that post was talking abt even consider them

This left a mark: Christian Dior & Saks partnered for Light up the NYC Night for Christmas 2023

youtube

No doubt "DIOR Contract" was at the top of the 2017 RMM- DIANA 2.0 vision board & megxit manifesto. In other words: Sparry's 'honey do' for MeMe list: Meet Beyonce (on yellow carpet)✔ Disney (princess) gig✔. oh to be a fly on a Cali wall after that Dior ANNOUNCEMENT: guttural moans & tears for weeks! 😬

Dior in 2018: MEgain's inappropriate Dior cocktail dress w/pinwheel headpiece for 1st balcony appearance. She also appeared to lose a tooth during the reception.

2019-"Christening"

2021 & 2022 New York City

2022 Jubilee as Wallis Simpson & 2023 Sparry

A word to the wise and to the Meghans: The REAL Santa knows whose on the MARKLED List.

Play stupid games and MARKLE yourselves!

I'll buy that Jill Smoller (formerly Gina) badgered Dior on behalf of MEgain, but no way would Dior sully their brand with the toxic, mentally unstable, over seas royals who can't be bothered to iron 🙄

"Oh & I took FRENCH for 8 years in high school or was it 4 years?" 😉

"...but but I'm not a model, I'm just a mom. Thankfully Sparry was here to coach me that I can be both. I wonder how he became so wise?" Variety 2022

Princess Diana 2.0 caught in the act

Sparry, YOU MARKLED yourselves. Stop blaming the BRF for your failures to launch.

Princess Diana 2.0 Tom Bower

The Sun: What is the history between Dior and the royal family?

December 12, 2023 || Born in 1905, Christian Dior, the fashion designer, climbed the ranks of several Parisian fashion houses before establishing his own establishment in 1946.

One of the early royal admirers of the designer was Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II.

She became a client of the fashion house and one of Dior's most famous designs, the "Margaret Dress," was named after her.

Queen Elizabeth II also shared a close connection with Dior.

She appointed Doir to design her Coronation gown for the crowning ceremony in 1953.

The gown, famously called the "Hartnell Dress," was a collaboration between Dior and British couturier Sir Norman Hartnell.

Over the years, various royal family members have continued to wear Dior creations for public appearances.

Dior dressed Prince Harry for King Charles' coronation in May 2023 - as the royal forwent wearing a military uniform.

Shortly after the coronation ceremony, Dior took to its social media to reveal Kim Jones was the designer behind the suit.

"Tailoring fit for royalty. Dior is honoured to have dressed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, for the coronation of King Charles III in a custom design by Kim Jones," the brand wrote on Instagram.

"Seen arriving at Westminster Abbey, gain an insight into the savoir-faire of his three-piece suit next," it added.

Why was it speculated that Meghan Markle would have a deal with Dior?

In June 2023, it was reported that Meghan was in talks about taking on a deal with Dior.

Following the cancellation of her Spotify podcast after just one season, there was widespread speculation that the Duchess of Sussex was poised for a new role with the French fashion house.

Meghan has worn Dior several times throughout her time as a working royal, including at the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral in September 2022.

However, sources close to the Royals said no contract had been inked.

Dior also expressed its surprise and confusion when the idea of a deal was initially brought up.

A source told the Telegraph: "The Duchess of Sussex is not in talks to sign a deal with Dior.

"There is no truth to the claims that she will partner with the French fashion house,"

A Dior insider said its team was "nonplussed as to how the story came about".

Who became 'the Duchess of Dior' in 2023?

Meghan lost out on the opportunity of a lucrative Dior job to a Kate Middleton actress.

It was revealed in November 2023, that Meg Bellamy, 21, who plays a young Kate Middleton in season six of the hit royal drama The Crown is to be the new face of Dior.

An insider told The Daily Mail: "They have been queuing up for Meg, she is playing the most famous woman in the world in a globally famous television drama, so many labels and brands want some of that.

"She is a total unknown, but she is being treated like Kate, an A-list princess."

What deals and contracts does Meghan Markle have?

After leaving the royal family and their royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan vowed to become financially independent.

It was reported that the couple would support themselves through Prince Harry's $10 million inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana.

With the world eager to know their story, lucrative million-dollar deals started rolling in from AppleTV, Netflix, and Spotify.

The couple signed a deal with Netflix through their production company, Archewell Productions, with a hefty payment of $100 million for multiple projects.

They have since released one documentary, Harry and Meghan.

Their upcoming documentary series titled, Heart of Invictus, is in the works.

While their third documentary is to be shot in South Africa, the Sussexes are also planning to delve into the rom-com genre with the streaming giant

In June 2023, the couple made headlines when it was reported that their 25-million-dollar deal with Spotify had ended.

According to Rolling Stone, the couple would pay back a portion of their deal money and look for another company to produce podcasts with.

In a joint statement, they said: "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."

Royal biographer Tom Bower believes that the couple's "joint ventures are falling apart" and that Meghan is finding it difficult to sell her brand.

"They're beginning to taste the medicine that they handed out after the Oprah interview and they're finding it very very hard to keep their brand reputable," Bower told new magazine.

"They're constantly having to defend themselves and grasping at opportunities that don't exist anymore."

Dont turn your back on Jesus

“...There shall come a day when the man that was ashamed of Christ will himself be ashamed: he will wonder where he can hide his guilty head. Look at him! There he is! The traitor who denied his Lord! The Christ was spat upon and nailed to the cross, and this man was afraid to own him. To win the smile of a silly maid, to escape the jest of a coarse fellow, to win a few pieces of silver, to stand respectable among his fellow-men, he turned his back upon his Redeemer and sold his Lord; and now what can be said for him? Who can excuse him? The angels shun him as a man who was ashamed of the Lord of glory. He is clothed with shame and everlasting contempt. Even the lost in hell get away from him, for many of them were more honest than he. Is there such a man as this before me? I summon him in the name of the living God to answer for his cowardice! Let him come forth and own his crime, and humbly seek forgiveness at the hands of the gracious Savior.”

Charles H. Spurgeon

Re: the deconstruction post

I think that's part of what frustrates me so much talking to new friends/strangers who are currently Christians. They see me now - see how I dress NOW and what I am NOW and they decide I've never been a serious Christian based on how i look and what I am and how I talk

Like my feelings on Christianity must be hatred and I must be a militant atheist or smth

A lot of them shut me out when I talk about the church or my own faith, like I'm an outsider now who has no idea what I'm talking about.

I talk about theology more with atheists/agnostics now than I do with Christians and church-goers. The Christians have decided I'm wrong before I even start, have decided idk what I'm talking about. But I studied theology for years. I still do. I still think about faith and the Bible and God often, I still care. I cared SO MUCH when I was part of it. I cried and screamed and threw up and all that. I wasn't just playing at faith, and I'm still not, I've just grown differently

My favorite example is talking to this guy- lead singer of a band that was opening for Mercy Me in my town. He saw my book (Unwanted Prophet) and read the chapter titles. Acknowledged that some chapter titles held theology in them. And then. This motherfucker. Tried to prosthelitize to me. REFUSED to stop when I tried to tell him multiple times I was a Christian, I grew up in the church, tried to engage with him on theology. He didn't want to talk to me he wanted to talk at me. "I've been a Christian for 17 year, I found christ at my lowest" ok buddy. I beat you by about 5 years there. Stop treating me like a child.

And many other Christians have been much the same since. He was just the most blatant.

#did he think i was just writing a book about a prophet the church rejected for FUN?!?#like how r u gonna lock onto my theology and then speak to my face like i dont know i wrote it that way #like he deadass acted like the theology i had added was all coincidental #like 'oh this title of this chapter actually has interesting things to say about [theological concept]' i know?!?! i DID THAT ON PURPOSE!?!?#ugh #my shit #deconstruction #christianity #long post

So, Fantasy High update... I'm a few episodes past this by now, but I fucking scream-laughed when Coach Daybreak responded to Kristen's desperate plea for guidance about someone who had doubts about their faith with "you should cut her off, because she's going straight to hell." Literally what my wife's parents said about me.(I was still going to church at the time, just not THEIR church, I was questioning my faith but had literally never talked about it to Mags or ANYONE. I was only not still in AWANAS at the time because I think there wasn't one within a reasonable driving distance of where I lived.) Just... setting the magical shit aside, an incredible portrayal of actual religious cults that are too accepted within society to be recognized as cults.

#fantasy high #dimension 20 #fantasy high spoilers #just in case #literally it's not even that far off evangelical christianity because they are legitimately trying to bring about the apocalypse #they just don't have the magical means to do it #but boy it's no wonder I fell in love with Kristen the moment she was introduced #that was my wife my guys #that sweet sincere 'made for camp' little cutie who just wanted to reach out and help people #and rejected her parents' bigotry #and had learned morals from their religious upbringing that were stronger than doctrine #adaine is the character identify most with in this show #but I adore kristen #I was sold on the show when Kristen was introduced #because that's my wife #and it feels so real and genuine and built from a place of experience and understanding that I just...#thank you Ally #thank you Brennan #you did great

Coffee

I have a friend who is very particular. He wants things just so. If something doesn’t meet his standards, he will complain about it. Endlessly.

He has yet to have a decent cup of coffee.

I learned this going to all of the big-name coffee places with him. Then, when none of those measured up, going to all of the most micro-batch, one-off, exclusive coffee roasters you could think of.

It was an amazing tour of the coffee of Chicago. And it was that tour, accompanied by his endless soundtrack of complaints, that showed me what was wrong with the coffee.

Him. He was what was wrong with the coffee.

It wasn’t that he had exquisite taste. It was that he was exquisitely skilled at finding fault.

Because he was busy finding fault, he missed out on some of the best coffee I’ve ever had.

I know this, because I went back to some of those places without him. When I didn’t have someone telling me how awful they were, it turns out they were great.

It easy to laugh at someone who does this to themselves. Piling up preconceived notions and finding fault, until they keep themselves from enjoying…pretty much anything.

But it’s not just the dynamic that we see playing out in today’s Gospel, with its violent rejection of Jesus.

It’s a trap that all too many of us fall into with our relationship with God.

We miss out on God’s best for our lives, because it doesn’t meet our preconceived notions. We keep ourselves from being able to enjoy all that God has given us, because we’re too busy finding fault.

It’s not that God isn’t pouring out His grace upon us. It’s that we are so wrapped up in our ideas about God, about how things have to be, that we aren’t able to receive what God is giving.

When we get stuck like that, it’s easy to blame God.

Even though we’re what’s wrong with the coffee.

When we get stuck like that, the only cure is God’s grace. To ask God to take away our love of fault-finding.

To ask God to give us a desire for Him, not our ideas about Him.

God, I love the queer muslims on here, especially those who reverted and choose it. Y'alls faith fills me with faith and y'alls steadfastness fills with with steadfastness. Y'alls love for God fills me with love for God. Above all tho, they remind me that I'm not alone in my love, devotion, and hope.

#klair rambles #im not muslim myself but i have a deep respect #also the queer revert experience of being rejected or misunderstood by both family and queer community #is very relatable to me #while my family is culturally christian they are far from practicing or devotional which is fine but #means they dont really like get it lol
