@chevalier26 I know the feeling well. Turns out I'm just a dragon.

@chevalier26 It's a portrait of me that was a gift from a friend.

@chevalier26 I did a stint in politics myself. It was a lot of work. I wish you luck.

@chevalier26 That's gotta be really frustrating. But it's reassuring to know there's at least somebody coming out of there who's open minded and maybe can help open some other minds by example. What are you studying?

@chevalier26 He was right on that. I just think where people go wrong, in any religion, not just Christianity, is when they start trying to imitate mortal leaders __instead of__ imitating the divine.

@chevalier26 That's a fantastic motto! See I don't even think the folks who make it politically divisive should be called Christians. They're not following the teachings of Christ. They're following the teachings of people like Paul, or Martin Luther, or John Calvin. Christ was an anti-authoritarian collectivist whose only non-negotiable rule was radical unconditional kindness. "Love thy neighbor as thy self." Looking across the aisle and seeing an enemy isn't Christ-like.

@chevalier26 Yes! Obviously Christian theology and history isn't my primary focus, but it's a topic of interest and it's something I like to be at least conversational in so that I can meet people where they are. Though @NiveusLepus does in fact have a degree in the subject.

@chevalier26 As an anarcho-collectivist queer pagan priestess who does my best to provide pastoral counseling to queer christians in a way that helps them feel safe and comfortable in their relationship with Christ... I feel you. Religion on social media is such a minefield. I'm new here and hoping it's as chill as everyone says.

@Lucky188 Beautiful!

@Lucky188 I just bought a house and meeting the neighbors will be a delight! I'm gonna invite them to the pagan festivals I'm hosting!

@Lucky188 That's what I like to hear!

@LnzyHou That sounds utterly lovely

@heyrhiannon Thank you!

I am now attempting to figure out how CounterSocial works. Because @NiveusLepus is always singing its praises.

@NiveusLepus You and I have never been anything other than weird with it.
