Things Jesus taught – annie’s blog
As I witness the rise of Christianese in our political culture — specifically, as I witness the use of Christian terminology to defend illegal, inhumane, and immoral behaviors — I feel that we all need a mini-refresher course on the actual teachings of Jesus.

AI: How/Why I Use It | Mike Doughty on Patreon
