Same with the ideologies of Jesse James and Charlie Manson.

Brief return to post: Been listening to several audiobooks about Abraham Lincoln, all of which cover John Wilkes Booth. Amazing how his writings and ruminations reflect that of MAGA hate, Christian Nationalism (heresy, domestic extremism), and far-right agents, i.e. Charlie Kirk.

“Many continue to call this (the Republican party), the ‘Christian party.’ Many still defend this administration as though cruelty, mockery, bigotry, prejudice, sexism, and moral decay were virtues.”

Going to church every Sunday does not mean you’re a Christian, or Christ-like. It means you go to church every Sunday.

How do the #Evangelical, #Maga, #ChristianNationalist, #FarRightChristian, fans of #RodSerling, reconcile their beliefs with his themes of prejudice, racism, bigotry, social justice, conformity, political oppression? How does the clash, the irony in that chasm escape them?

So sorry, Christopher. I know how tough this is. Someday the happy memories will soften the grief 🩵

The Twilight Zone @thenightgallery.bsky.social · 1d

October 20, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Mirror" airs. Peter Falk plays a Castro-like leader who believes a unique mirror is exposing his assassins.

Some critics dismiss it—and sure, it's not top-tier TZ—but I think it teaches a valuable lesson about the seductive nature of power.

If you measure your success and faithfulness as a Christian by your ability/power to force cultural change ... your faith is based on Caesar, not Christ.

Christ commands us to point to what is better and will be in Christ's kingdom via sacrificial example, not cultural control.

Sheesh. If I was local, and going to Disneyland, I’d take the $40 parking fee and add it to the cost of an Uber.

As a Christian, I approve of these #NoKings
#NoKingsDay signs.

“There will be signs.”
