How about a new Christianity?— upgraded with love and sex.
We are sexual beings deeply, thoroughly and inescapably. In the experience of our sexuality we know another, and, indirectly, ourselves. It is also in our sexuality that we know, or don’t know, God.
— Eugene Peterson
There is a big secret about sex: most people don’t like it.
— Leo Bersani
When I got around to studying the Bible for myself, I found that what I’d been told when growing up an Evangelical Christian—simply wasn’t there.
In scholarly literature, I found a brutal factual take-down.
The tradition had re-defined words, mauled translations. Adding words. Changing names.
Eliminating books considered “scripture” in the early church.
All to create a “religion” where the ultimate reality of human life, from clergy to lovers, was…gender?
And control.
