Basic Info| Name: | Commie Pink |

BioChristian? Feminist? Communist? Yes, it is possible to be all three - simultaneously - without cognitive dissonance! It can be done!
This LJ is a venue for the exploration of the basic themes of Christianity, feminism and (particularly) democratic socialism. In general terms, it's an exploration of humanity, equality and righteousness.

"That bread which you keep belongs to the hungry; that coat in your closet, to the naked."
"I should like to know how any man can be just, who is deliberately aiming to get out of someone else what he wants for himself."
--St. Basil, the Great
***
""It is not with your own wealth that you give alms to the poor, but with a fraction of their own which you give back; for you are usurping for yourself something meant for the common good of all. The earth is for everyone, not only for the rich."
--St. Ambrose
***
"For 'mine' and 'thine' -- those chilly words which introduce innumerable wars into the world -- should be eliminated from that holy Church . . .The poor would not envy the rich because there would be no rich. Neither would the poor be despised by the rich, for there would be no poor. All things would be in common."
--St. John Chrysostom
***
"Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt. Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry."
--Exodus 22:21-23, NIV
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
--James 1:27, NIV
