Deconstructing evangelicalism led me to a Christ-centered ethic rooted in the radical teachings of Jesus. David Gushee's *The Moral Teachings of Jesus* offers a compelling vision of moral reasoning grounded in the radical, power-disrupting ministry of Christ. #DavidGushee #TheMoralTeachingsofJesus

White evangelicals whipping themselves into a frothing, idolatrous frenzy to support a sexual predator in the name of power is the perfect distillation of evangelical theology.

So many questions. Am I a fake lib who's really a conservative? Or a real lib faking being a demon? Am I faking being a liberal demon who's really a conservative demon? And where does the disguise come into play?

To participate in Holy Eucharist is to confront the reality that the blood of Christ we drink as wine is sacrificed blood. Blood shed under the dominance of empire. To eat and drink of Christ's body is to share in the company martyrs, and be willing to do the same for the sake of Christ.

Ever since this aggressively incompetent and anti-science administration came into power, outlets like the NYT have been running headlines like "The Earth: Flat or Not?," and "Is Mayonnaise an Instrument?"
It's utterly disgusting how this foolishness is being normalized by legacy media.

At a white evangelical megachurch this evening and when they approximated celebrating the Eucharist, the pastor said, "And Jesus told his disciples, this represents my body and blood."

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts.
He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law.
After threats & delays, the WH now says it will “comply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP.
This is chaos. No way to run the government.

I was talking to some of my church's Altar Guild in the sacristy on Sunday and I noticed there was a handwritten sign above the sink that said "don't immerse the silver chalices."
So I said, "I guess we sprinkle them instead." And NOBODY LAUGHED 😬😂 #episcopal #episcopalian #anglican

It will never not be funny to me that mainstream young-earth creationist organizations have to deal with flat-earthers who consider them "liberals" who don't take the Bible seriously and put "secular science" over "God's infallible Word." 😂

Join hands with God to make a man to live.
Give to all something; to a good poor man,
Till thou change names, and be where he began.
Man is God's image; but a poor man is
Christ's stamp to boot: both images regard.
God reckons for him, counts the favour his.
