Christ is the sacred Yes within the cosmos In turbulent times, we must to affirm both joy and suffering (then work for joy)

We can still say Yes to life, even under empire. #Resistance

The Crucifixion was a Crime In an age of performative cruelty, we have to stop seeing Roman performative cruelty as salvific.

God is nonviolent, so violent atonement theories are wrong. #ChristianNonviolence

Jesus didnโ€™t die for your sins God isn't violent, so substitutionary atonement theories are wrong

Let's give Christianity a nonviolent interpretation of Jesus's life and work. #NonviolentChristianity

Trump shares video with racist imagery of Barack and Michelle Obama in late-night posting spree In clip amplifying false claim that Trump won 2020 election, the Obamasโ€™ faces are superimposed on bodies of apes

God hates racism.
