That’s valid.
To me, some people have no need to believe in a form of divinity and some do.
I find solace in the belief in this entity, but don’t feel the need to force it upon others. ⬇️
I'm not sure it makes sense to believe in a spiritual entity.
If you do, it will become what your mind needs it to be.

I think some of the Bible can be a good way to understand the divine, but I don’t see it as a be all end all.
It doesn’t make sense to engender a spiritual entity. ⬇️

I don’t think of God as non-binary, but I think it’s silly to attribute gender to the divine.

Any man who says he used to be a sex addict has probably done bad things to get sex. He has either been willing to compromise himself to have sex or as violated someone’s consent to have sex.
Isn’t that what addicts do? ⬇️

It's so interesting to me how when one of my kids began deconstructing their faith, they were like:
"the problem I have with Christianity is that they just forgive people who do horrific things and don't hold them accountable"
and I could not see that at all. ⬇️
Brand’s faith seemed genuine to me at the time when I was a guest at his private baptism.
I have attended a few now. Even visiting in prisons with people who have committed terrible crimes. It's part of our calling as men and women of faith, to love and serve anyone. It is the sick that need healing. Judgement is for the courts and God… I wouldn’t want to ever discourage someone’s coming to faith.
It is right that justice has now been served.
I can’t imagine how hard this time has been for the victims, the heroes of the day.

Watch how certain people make jokes about consent and then support rapists. There's a lil bit of a correlation and I find that troubling.

Yeah. At this point Christianity is sooo beyond having any sort of credibility.
I dunno what people do to redeem it. ⬇️
Christians saying that everyone who votes Democrat wants to kill babies and trans kids is a lie. It's a line that bad faith actors have used to scare Christians, but it's a lie. If Christians can't be honest about others, they can't expect people to listen to them about anything.

But I mean, if you never ever want the NDP in, this is one way to guarantee it never happens…
The UCP’s attempt to rig the next election is now public for all to see.
Their map carves Lethbridge into four ridings and wildly expands Calgary ridings beyond city boundaries, watering down the voices and votes of Albertans.
These maps aren't good for rural or urban Albertans. They're only good for Danielle Smith and her desperate quest to cling to power.
And they are going to get away with it too, because so much of the Alberta population are like “ I could never vote NDP, they ruined our province so much in the four years they were in power”
The UCP drew a map. They couldn't get it past an independent boundaries commission, who recommended a different one after public input.
The UCP tore up that map and is imposing their own, without public consultation.
They want you to believe this is normal. It's not.
