Eccentric INTP, still Christian post recovery from a Bible-Based Cult, Classical libertarian. Thought I lost all friends in '16. Now, many think I'm non-Christian bc Trump-related virtue signaling is now a litmus test for the Christian faith. #BeamMeUpSco

I thought of @theflyingkitchen.bsky.social again today when I watched this great summary of Theonomy (Doug Wilson sin-of-empathy-types). Best simple description of the FUNCTIONAL problems that I've ever seen.

A good follow up. So sad. They baked racism into everything, and no one noticed.

I'm really glad to hear that they're not being harassed, too. I've been really concerned about those who are showing up and that it sounds like they have a whole community of support as they get organized.

Thank you!!!

I just tried to donate, and the go fund me has been disabled.

I'm with you there. EOs are just documented desires. No one has to obey them as if they're laws.

But it seems all our leaders tossed out the Rule of Law. I'm sure they claim that it's all in service of a "higher law."

But the other branches aren't stepping in to curtail him and enforce that curtailment.

CW: Sexual assault

Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Excellent article about Trump's scapegoating and the language of dehumanization.

there’s another lens through which we need to consider what Trump said: how his dehumanizing language promotes white supremacy.

@theflyingkitchen.bsky.social, and Mike Johnson worked for the Alliance Defending Freedom (cofounded by my entryway into Theonomy via Marlin Maddoux through Christian radio). There are plenty of Theonomists in the inner circles of the Christian Right from the beginning.

How did I miss this @frankschaeffer.bsky.social video about MAGA Mike? Doug Wilson follows Rushdoony's Theonomy that Frank discusses. He almost sounds like @theflyingkitchen.bsky.social discussing Opus Dei. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Hr...

I talked with an AP reporter yesterday about Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, and the CREC. He's written a nice piece. Here is the link
apnews.com/article/pete...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth belongs to an archconservative church network. Here's what to know

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has expressed pride in being part of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, a conservative Christian network.

The other problem is that, for this camp, what is propaganda to us is holy writ to them. It's a whole other religion that they claim is Christian.

Cindy Milot @cindymilot.bsky.social · Aug 12

You're preaching to the choir here -- a drum I've been beating for 20 years, but most Christians don't want to listen. And they're the ones that think we're dense, dangerous, and destructive. But they're showing their full, true colors now.

They have a long history of falling for narcissists posing as Saviors.

Oh, I'd argue that it's much worse with more heartache to come, if it continues unabated. Lynching isn't Biblical, but stoning is, and so is their version of a "biblical" religious caste system.
