I guess we just have a different moral yardstick.

Because I say if one trans child dies to protect someone's damn trophy, this bill is grotesque.

It's both masculine and feminine and everything in between.

God is non-binary.

Trans children are God's children, made in God's own image.

There's nothing wrong with them, nothing at all.

They are perfect, they are beautiful, and they are sacred.

Bullying children is immoral.

It's a sin, a special kind of sin.

Being Christians.

and being pro-choice are absolutely consistent because Christianity is a feminist religion.

Our oldest scriptures, 3,000 years old, reject embryonic personhood while affirming female personhood.

In fact, modern mass Christian opposition to abortion is a relatively new phenomenon

The Southern Baptist Convention itself was pro-choice until the 1980s.

Feminist, womanist theologians are helping us remember Christianity's feminist tradition, a tradition that has been obscured and hidden by generations of men.

Did they teach you in Sunday school that men and women are created equally in the book of Genesis?

Did they teach you in Sunday school that the Bible sometimes describes God as a female, calling her Sophia?

Did they teach you in Sunday school that Jesus Christ himself was a radical feminist?

I don't claim to know what Jesus thought about abortion.

He never mentions it either, which maybe that should tell us something right there.
