The Imago Dei trumps all political theory and ideology. We take care of each other in all aspects, through any means, whether private actions or gov’t policy, because we are all made in God’s image. And that is the only reason we need.

If you’re a Christian who’s willing to believe that a loving God will send some ppl to an eternal hell, then frankly you can stomach heavy handed, even harsh criticisms towards voting for Trump and/or Republicans.

A robust and well-funded welfare state along very generous workers’ rights, is the bare minimum for a morally sound and well functioning society.

In the past, I’ve been volatile and insulting to ppl of differing political/religious beliefs. I’m trying to stop that as it’s unhelpful. But I struggle with knowing if/when perhaps “biting remarks” are necessary. Times such as these… idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s cute that Vicki’s main comfort food/drink are French Fries and Iced Tea (with 3-4 packets of non-sugar sweetener added). It’s easy and does the trick 😊.

I mean I think the obvious answer is that no, Americans have no idea what this means for their lives the "oh shit what have we done" turn we're all hoping for is simply not going to happen until the material ramifications become clear we are going to have to touch the stove

If the Democrats ever get back in power and along the way, grow a spine, their first order of business: Pack the Courts with progressive/left wing judges. At all federal levels. Republicans are breaking so many rules of gov’t. The least Democrats can do is bite back in kind on some things.

Lion kinging Toro. His impression of Simba is not bad. And yet again, he reluctantly has an eye for the camera. He still hates it though.

Welp, I’m now obsessed with Defying Gravity. Thanks Wicked. I’ve listened to it so many times, you’d think I’d just discovered something new and exciting, like… well gravity I guess 🙃.

Damn. Queen II might be one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. If you’re a fan of Queen, and like me, you’ve been dicking around with not listening to it, do something with your life today and give it a listen. March of the Black Queen is amazing btw.

I am very much looking forward to seeing Nosferau on Xmas day. Robert Eggers has put out some bangers, so I’m hyped for this one.

The Tyson/Paul fight was a con and we all fell for it. They got their money, we got had. With that being said, the Taylor/Serrano fight was much more entertaining and Serrano got robbed.

I’ve come to the realization that what was passed around for years as good “Christian Apologetics” was nothing more than shoddy PR/Marketing/Advertising tactics, similar to how many major American businesses operate.

“If Christianity taken as a whole is indeed an entirely coherent and credible system of belief, then the universalist understanding of its message is the only one possible. And, quite imprudently, I say that without the least hesitation or qualification.” -David Bentley Hart, That All Shall Be Saved
