Queering Jesus: How It's Going Mainstream at Progressive Churches and Top Divinity Schools. But queer theology is a mature, established theological subject of scholarship now in its third decade and armed with well-honed arguments that queerness is grounded in biblical texts and classic commentaries

So I have some knowledge of the brewing scene and one of the issues right now is that the classic styles aren't enjoying the same popularity right now and the big sellers are monstrosities like vanilla raspberry milkshake IPAs. When you inevitably bring up that going to great lengths to mask the actual taste of beer kind of makes the end result not beer, someone will inevitably reply "Well it's what sells". Point being, if your idea to fix dwindling church attendance is to sell people on non-Christianity, you're not really fixing the issue of Christianity falling out of favour

That's a solid analogy. Capitalism rules everything, so "what sells" is all that matters, all that can be measured. They can't articulate what the church represents without that aspect, so they're doomed to let that aspect drag it (hehe) into becoming something it's not.

Do you have anything to say about queering?

Not beer?

You know, the topic of the post?

Your inability to understand analogies isn't my problem
