politics, propsperity doctrine, 45 

So I decided to explain to someone why on Earth Christians in America hate the poor so much. The short answer is: no, it's not just you, they really do hate the poor. And it's woven into the fabric of American Evangelism. I have simplified things a great deal of course (and it's only this long because I've not had time to make it shorter), but this is is the jist of it.

American politics are so fucked and interwoven with religion, you need a treatise to unpack it.

@BigBeanKitten@chitter.xyz but serena you are already both cute and girl.

some lightly salted thoughts on christmas in our culture 

in my opinion, the default winter season narrative of our culture -- Christmas -- is kind of a difficult one for large swaths of American culture to find broader meaning in.

As a secularized society, now there's not really anything there in terms of spiritual significance. There sure is a lot of stuff about consumption of goods though. Some people might feel connected to particular family traditions, which is great. But it lacks broader cultural meaning in terms of connection with the land, with our human experiences as a whole, and especially to any experiences of the sacred.

And, I think, folks know it.
