I promise you. PROMISE YOU, that in four years nobody among us will ever admit to supporting Trump in mixed company. “Big Balls” good Lord America

Marginalized people seeking liberation and equality is NOT persecution of the majority. Equality for Black folks is not persecution of white folks. Equality for LGBTQ+ folks is not persecution of straight folks. Equality for all faiths is not persecution of Christians.

I’m having a hard time staying hopeful, and that isn’t like me. I keep thinking, is this really what people wanted? Is this really what the people who go to church in my hometown wanted? If it is, then God help us all.

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose. Both have active death threats from Iran. All to intimidate. This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven. - Jesus

Thank you to Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Just imagine you are an #ICE agent or another federal or local law enforcement agent ordered by Donald Trump to raid churches looking for immigrants receiving shelter and sanctuary. What will you tell #God you are asked if you followed God’s call to welcome #immigrants, #refugees, & #asylumseekers?

I now see the hard-right evangelical church as a dangerous cult. I broke free after 60+ years & won't look back. Those at the top of the hierarchical ladder love their power, and they welcome Trump with open arms as one of their own. God forbid they absorb our kids and grandkids like Borgs.

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa for the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

In this insightful interview, Ruth Ben-Ghiat helps us "get into the mind of an autocrat" to see what's happening. She also has suggestions for what those of us in the opposition can do. The mind of an autocrat is not a happy place to spend time ... so I was grateful that this interview was concise!

Important to emphasize that this is projection. It is the radical right that has been committing violence in the U.S., not those who support liberal democracy.

Jesus laying down his life out of love for the world rather than using all cosmic and political power to force the world to obey him will forever be the greatest critique of any Christian movement that seeks to secure power in order to ensure that others conform to their will.

I’m going to spend weekend writing. I can’t do anything about inauguration, but maybe I can help combat some of the bad theology that got us to this point. Spoiler: complementarianism isn’t about beauty or Jesus. It has always been about (white evangelical) power.

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

As a young child, I wondered HOW/WHY the death of Jesus, of all things, would result with me having eternal life. All Hebrews says is "Whatever was necessary, Jesus did it!" All Revelations says is "Jesus died & resurrected; he won!! Here're some theories Christians propose to help explain it.

Ridiculous. Shameless. They just lie to their audience night after night and mislead them during every natural disaster and every mass shooting. Fox KNOWS that this is the max allowed just for the initial emergency payments to cover immediate needs like food & fuel.

The more I study the gospel, the more I'm baffled at how we could see this foot washing, health restoring, sword disarming, patient listening, kind teaching, cross bearing Jesus and then somehow arrive at the conclusion that he is calling us to impose our worldview on others.

This clear, straightforward interview sheds light on the powerful and rapidly-growing hard-right political movement in the Christian church—most especially in "Bible-believing" churches. It's with Kristin Du Mez—Christian, historian, professor at Calvin University, and author.
