not to dignify it but it seems to me that the relevant parable on the ordo amoris Q is not the Samaritan but the rich man and Lazarus, wherein the now-nameless rich man shows great concern for his family but is damned for his failure to care for the poor

Something intriguing is that liberals seem to be one of the few groups who accept that their political opponents are real. Most reactionaries seem to think that everything left of Franco is just a mirage that will disappear when you defeat the woke factory. But we don't deny that they exist in turn.

this is exactly the opposite of what progressives must learn from trump’s campaign! conservatives spend so much energy *actively creating* public opinion and what Singer’s brilliant strategy would have you do is just chameleon yourself to the public opinion conservatives generated

the thing is: Christian political conservatives are really not posing any difficult political-theological questions anymore. this is a layup, and literally all you have to do is go to the source of the theological idea he himself brought up. I take that as an alarming sign: they’re not trying hard

I'm not sure how to get this message to the right people, but it seems that, at a time of rampant false claims that government workers and agencies had been engaged in "fraud," it is spiritually dangerous for many conservatives to be frequently breaking the commandment against bearing false witness.

This Christianity Today article about Musk's illegal decimation of USAID, and its catastrophic impacts, is very, very good. Republicans need to hear from evangelicals and Catholics who aren't NAR or theobros www.christianitytoday.com/2025/02/usai...

Everybody is waiting for a consensus to merge on what's "beyond the pale" so they know where to set their political boundaries, I am reminding you that you don't have to, the fact that white supremacy is endorsed by the Federal government does not mean that you have to treat it differently.
