I had a priest as a kid who was always saying that god doesn’t hate & neither should you. I remember during one sermon he was talking about Harry Potter(during height of anti Harry Potter bullshit) & how love was a major theme in the book we should all pay attention too.
He was cool.
Well, unless you're gay. Or trans. Or not white.
yeah, jk became the voldemort of her own story. either way, ol' boy holyman was legit af.
Man I was so disappointed with all that. At first I thought maybe people were overreacting and taking what was said out of context. It's obviously a deeply personal thing (gender and sexuality) for a lot of people, and as such is sometimes difficult to speak of. I figured the woman who wrote such a lovely whimsical novel wouldn't really be hateful. But holy shit did she double down! Just disappointing.
Some people make wonderful art and are hateful bitches.
Like hitler.
That priest would be considered "woke" in 2025.
If religious leaders aren't woke, they're false prophets in my estimation. Maybe not on purpose, but all the same. Redemption is available for them, should they set aside false pride and judging. We can make judgement calls on who or what we want in our personal space, but church and salvation ain't that.
