Press Enterprise (Riverside County, CA): Lawsuits accuse former pastor of Riverside-based Harvest Christian Fellowship of child sex abuse
"...A former Riverside megachurch pastor has been accused of sexually abusing and trafficking children for years at a shelter he ran in Bucharest, according to lawsuits filed by two Romanian men in U.S. District Court in California..."
(comment: Seems like "pastor" is frequently found next to "sex abuse" in news articles. Why is that?!?)

"Too often, history remembers white #Quaker abolitionists, like Robert Pleasants, Warner Mifflin, Anthony Benezet, John Woolman and Benjamin Lay, but forgets the Black people who compelled them to act. The names of those who resisted—James, Grace, Jane, Jack, Dolphin, Ash, Nace and many others—must be spoken aloud." #Quakers#Religion#Spirituality#Justice#History cc: @friendsjournalhttps://www.friendsjournal.org/black-resistance-to-quaker-enslavement/

I don't think I've done an #introduction before despite having been here for a few years now.
My name is Nagaram or Nags. I am kinda 30. #tech nerd #history nerd #philosophy nerd and I will talk ad nauseum about #religion and my weird #atheist stances. Such as thinking #magick and the #occult is cool!
I work #IT so I mostly talk about that and my #homelab like my blog thinkstoomuch.net
I'm also an annoying leftist! I will post about my #gun ownership and #firearms training with anyone who's interested.
DMs open. Email is open too if you wanna chat, vent, or call me names. All valid!

«Sufjan Stevens et la sensualité du christianisme»
Magnifique article pour explorer la question de l'incarnation dans la relation à Dieu, la sensualité queer comme un nouveau chemin spirituel.
🙏 Merci à Timothée de Rauglaudre pour ce très bel article (et cette très belle lecture des magnifiques chansons de Sufjan Stevens).
