i dont believe people go to hell for not being christian. i just can’t fathom that God would have sent me the best friends and partners any person could ask for, just to make me spend eternity without them. that would be crueler than any punishment in hell.

I'm with you, anon! In fact, I don't personally believe in hell at all, for similar reasons to yours — it seems like a very human response to the problem of sin; a God who is wise and all-loving must be able to imagine justice that goes far beyond the punitive or exilic. I write more on this over here.

And even if hell does exist, I agree with you that people don't go there just for being non-Christian. Throughout scripture we find a God who is far more concerned with how people act than what people believe.

I highly recommend the book Holy Envy by Barbara Brown Taylor for a text on respecting people of all faiths and celebrating the unique insights into the divine that each one offers. You can read some excerpts from the book here.

Adoption in Romance Books: My Adoption Story

When I sat down to write A KISS FROM THE PAST, book 1 in my adoption in romance series, I thought about how to incorporate my experience of adoption into a romance book because, alas, I am a romance writer. At first, my adoption story seemed more something suited for women’s fiction instead of romance and I tried that route with a convoluted plot plan and about 30,000 words before I realized…

Undivided: A Muslim Daughter, Her Christian Mother, Their Path to Peace by Patricia Raybon & Alana Raybon [REVIEW]

SYNOPSIS “Mom, I have something I need to tell you…” They didn’t talk. Not for ten years. Not about faith anyway. Instead, a mother and daughter tiptoed with pain around the deepest gulf in their lives – the daughter’s choice to leave the church, convert to Islam and become a practicing Muslim. Undivided is a real-time story of healing and understanding with alternating narratives from each as…

The Tennessee House of Representatives has passed a bill that would allow people to refuse to perform a marriage if they disagree with it.

According to the bill, which passed Monday night, “a person shall not be required to solemnize a marriage if the person has an objection to solemnizing the marriage based on the person’s conscience or religious beliefs.”

The bill, which now moves to the state Senate, is the latest in an onslaught of measures that the Tennessee legislature has passed attacking LGBTQ rights. This bill could also apply to couples where at least one partner is transgender, or to mixed race couples.

It’s 1927, and eighteen-year-old Mary Engle thinks she’s found her way to independence and success when she starts working as a secretary for a woman doctor at a remote institute for mentally disabled women.

Idk why I feel like I should say this now, since it's not come up at all in the Christblr world lately, but having been in an interdenominational dating relationship for a little over two years now, this is the best advice I have for other people in or pursuing interdenominational dating relationships:

If you date someone outside your denomination, you're going to find out eventually what your Theological Hills To Die On are. Talk about those hills together and work through them.

Have a sense of humor about your own--and each other's--denominational distinctives. At the same time, be sensitive to each other's beliefs, and recognize that something that seems minor to you may be a treasured belief of your significant other.

Visit each other's churches. Serve together. Get involved in each other's community. Make friends with each other's friends.

Recognize that it's fully possible that your convictions may change, or they may not. That is up to the Lord's will. It's not up to either of you to put that pressure onto each other.

Finding unity in the person of Jesus sounds easy and feels daunting all at once, but it is possible and is deeply beautiful.

I love interreligious relationships so much

I just love the idea of someone you can easily talk with for hours about theology, unafraid of judgement because you already know where your beliefs differ

Plus, an excuse to throw more than one wedding 💕

I can see Terry buying Beloved a coveted Fabergé egg for Easter, or an Egyptian pyramid if they are observing Passover…

When we say pyramid, do we mean a pyramidal bewejweled ornament that serves a symbolic purpose to mark victory and deliverence from one's opressors and undoubtedly still costs a fortune despite it being small and rather compact, or do we mean a pyramid --- American businessman and entrepreneur buying a pharaoh's tomb near Luxor or Giza, more at seven, manner of thing? Because I do see both. At the same time. One leading into the other. Terry Silver giving beloved a trinket for starters, as a Passover gift, undeniably still ancient and a work of art, riddled with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, opals and diamonds, fitting into the palm of their hand --- something that could've belonged to a wife, bride, or a coveted concunbine of some ruler. Maybe even to a queen in her own right. Nefretiti or Cleopatra, might've held this very ornament, and now, it is beloved's, as it should be, thousands of years later; a form of providence and karmic justice all on its own, not to mention, something Terry feels rightly entitled to, the same way he does to just about everything he sets his eyes on --- and while beloved's busy admiring the beauty and lavishiness of the sentiment, shocked, not even daring to ask how much this cost, Terry might smile implishly and declare this is only a prelude at something much, much bigger.

And he does mean much, much, much bigger.

Something that can quite literally be seen from outer space.

Thing is; he bought, actually bought the now wholly privatized resting place of some Seti, Ramses or Tut. The Egyptian government, much like any government when faced with a shameless amount of cash, was surprisingly open to negotiations. Their Minister happens to owe Mr. Silver and Mr. Silver's representatives a big, fat favour. Heh.

As for the Fabrege eggs? It is a shame Gustav Fabrege himself is no longer alive so Terry Silver can personally commission something specialized and according to his own design and vision for beloved's Easter --- something he doesn't celeberate himself, but something he nonetheless tucks away as something that is his through someone else who is also his, namely beloved themselves, seeing as how every part of them belongs to him; and I do mean every. Even their religious leanings, in whatever form they may come. Luckily, the House of Fabrege is something still very much active, so he can consult and make his desire known with the consierge operating the brand through his channels, still, a fan of all things antique, gorgeous and luridly expensive, being something of a collector of fine art in general, I do believe Terry goes for an existing classical original after all, valuing his own good taste and opting for the very best for his beloved. Something thematic and fitting. Maybe something with a complex mechanism. Something rare and unique, brought forward from the Fabrege vault, specifically and only for someone with paying power as big as Mr. Silver's. The egg opens. There's two snakes coiled around each other, spinning slowly in a love dance of eternity, forming a circular ouroborous. You are mine, the gift is meant to relay.

In the Middle Ages in Christendom, Jews were often forbidden from appearing in public during the Christmas holidays, and Christmas Eve frequently marked the beginning of attacks on the Jewish population. Many Jews observed Nittel Nacht as a way to avoid leaving their homes, and to avoid giving the appearance of celebrating the Christian holiday.

Telling Jews that we should embrace Christmas as a secular holiday is antisemitic. These days, fortunately, it's safe for us to go out for Chinese and a movie but Nittel Nacht used to be an occasion for violent attacks on our community.

We don't forget shit.

#Some Jews choose to embrace the holiday and while personally 😒 that's their choice and don't point to them as an example #Like if you're in an interfaith relationship go for it. And I respect converts who can't give up the secular aspects and fam traditions #Adhd in the tags remember the Charlotte converts to Judaism arc on sex and the city that was actually reasonably accurate and respectful? #Compared to the super fucked up Samantha bouncer at a bat mitzvah Jewish American Princess stereotype episode #Hey Japanese people solidarity on etymological convergence and sharing a slur #Anyway Santa Claus can suck it even though I look hella cute in that red hat. #post o' mine #Christmas #Jew stuff #Nittel nacht
