Until people start seeing disabled people as human beings and including us in liberation movements, civil rights are not safe for anyone.

And so, I say to my betrayers: "What radicalized you? It was certainly not anything in the Bible...I fear it was an orange calf." /9

But also, I am not going to let them say that believing everyone deserves housing, food, a voice, welcome...these are not radical stances. They are woven into the very fabric of the earth. Love, welcome, diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential tenants of the Christian faith. /8

There's that meme going around: "What radicalized you?" "Teaching me the Bible." And, yes. /7

Owning that you have been betrayed is a sacred act. Letting tears fall over your betrayal is a sacred baptism, mirroring Christ's tearful prayers in the garden.
I want to affirm that *you* have been betrayed. You are not alone in being betrayed. /6

If you angry that *you* are the one forced to leave when *you* are living those sacred texts, I want to speak to you as a fellow prodigaland as a pastor: you have been betrayed. We have been betrayed. That is no overstatement. /5

As a pastor, if you are willing to give me the honor of blessing your walking away - and you do not need anyone's blessing, but if you're willing to honor me by letting me give it all the same - may the Eternal One bless you thoroughly for leaning into liberation and away from toxicity. /4

I have not fallen away.
These people have betrayed me and the Bible they made me memorize.
...
If you are done with Christianity, good literal Lord, Christianity has earned your distain. Thoroughly. /3

These people made me memorize scripture. But they would tell me that *I* have fallen away because I love the Diversity God made, I support Equity, as outlined in the laws of Moses over and over and over again and in Mt 25, and I demand the Inclusion of people Jesus included. /2
