theres so many people protesting warming centers (which people need to not die)
i pass by at least three churches leaving the neighborhood. "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done"
im not religious but i found that and its the idea i think a lot of people want their religion to hold but their behaviour more shows "pull thineself up by thine bootstraps" energy
i used to not be religious at all, but over the last year i've opened myself up more spiritually. im not christian and i wont ever be. but i have appreciated being more conscious of what draws people in, and maybe i can begin to understand other religions im less familiar with someday as well
im glad i have opened up despite of a massive fight with my ex. on my birthday i said i was sad because it was my first one without my mom. and he felt really bad he couldnt help me, and i comforted him. and then he wanted to talk about religion, and i didnt, but i didnt want to fight so i did. but we still fought, he spoke over me while i was talking which lead to a misunderstanding which lead to a big blow up that lasted six hours and him yelling that me and his friends are going to hell which makes me sick. i don't believe fear should be something used to lure people into something you say is supposed to teach love. thinking about it now, i think that may have been aspects of his childhood pulling over in a moment of high emotions
but urgh. that was awful and i felt very deterred. but even before the blow up i had been opening myself up more, and i didnt let it stop me
but now as i read more verses about being selfless, kind, generous, empathetic.... i just feel confused as to why people who really take the time to read it and understand it 🙏love🙏 to talk about these aspects of bible dont really seem to be practicing it? does it say something about helping the homeless as long as you cant see them?
also, idk, maybe this is dumb!! but mary kind of basically gave birth in a warming center?? she needed a safe shelter, which these people need from the cold. she was a refugee, and the inn keepers didnt have space for her, but at least they didnt tell her to go back from where she came from. my understanding is the inn keepers werent malicious, they really didn't have space. but in my eyes denying so many people an old building because you dont want them in your sights is!
