I keep thinking about @LilNasX’s video and how his journey to hell is actually more accessible to me than many Christians’ idea of getting into heaven.
He slid down a pole to hell rather than take the steps to heaven. It’s an excellent metaphor for disability & faith.

Many people know I don’t often talk about my faith on here and it’s with good reason. I’ve spent my life being told by complete strangers that either.

B) my disability was a direct result of sin

C) I would be healed and perfect once I got into heaven.
None of that sat right with me, but it’s what I had always been told.
I used to work for a religious organization and one day, the subject of heaven came up, and being the sarcastic ass that I am, I made a flippant

Since ppl are being intentionally dense about the message of the music video🙃, let’s address it. The video is a metaphor for his journey with accepting his sexuality. He uses the Christian creation story as an analogy.
The snake imagery represents his 1st gay attraction, which he thought was an evil temptation.
