this is still a disgusting logic. nobody is a sinner. sin is indeed a foul political project and method of inducing social order. i think this is an example of how christianity strangles the possibilities love; what is a love that seeks to lure you to feast on your sovereignty?
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
There is a staggering level of narcissism involved in believing that the Creator of 200 billion galaxies is going to suspend the laws of physics to help you pass your test or get a job, while remaining "mysterious" and silent while 10,000 children die of starvation...
And just to be clear, it’s not about the money. I don’t need her money. It’s about having consequences for your actions. So many people run around these days and just do whatever the fuck they want without getting any kind of consequence, which is why I’m seeing this screw and pushing so hard because she deserves to have some kind of consequence for what she’s done.
There's literally a Black queer m/m show called "Remember" that has been in development for YEARS that still hasn't come out. & it's frustrating because while Heated Rivalry is GREAT, that show was picked up, developed, written, & broadcast within a year!

And that is truly one of the greatest points SINNERS made.
That Christianity has people so deeply focused on what they deem as YOUR moral failings & the “redemption” of your spirit that they quite literally IGNORE the tangible and very real evils you are already facing
sinners really was a crazy ass movie because sammie fought vampires all night just for his dad to see him the next morning and call him a sinner for playing a guitar I would’ve been pissed
I won't let you people gaslight me into thinking intellectual mismatch is not a thing in romantic relationships. It is not even about formal degrees or booksmarts. It shows up in things like curiousity, conversational depth, imagination, openness, and worldviews.
I went to the movie by myself and I noticed a young black man slip into the theater once they lowered the lights for the film. Immediately after the movie ended, he slipped out. I think about him sometimes and wonder what that movie meant to him.
