I drive an EV. I do not suggest that others drive an EV. It's the car for me, it might not be the car for you. Despite this, I have a friend that constantly engages in discussion with me on why I won't be able to convince her to get an EV.

I have never tried to convince anyone to get one! I'm not sure why she does this.

She does this concerning religious discussions too!

I'm not religious. Whether someone else is religious is their business. I don't care beyond what ever they try to compell me to do becuase of it. Same friend both tells me I won't convince her to become non religious while trying to convert me.

I grew up in a Christian Family! I had the owner of Chick Fil-A as a Sunday school teacher. I am familiar with Christianity, but not convinced. I'm not trying to deconvince anyone else.

You know, if you think of the Christian god from the perspective of a "jealous god and your admittance to heaven solely depends on your submission to HE", christian support of Trump kinda makes sense.

Of course, any such god is quite transparently The Bad Guy which is the core problem with such thinking, whether in support of Trump or Christianity.

Any god who cares about worship rather than good deeds, I'll meet in hell and I will have no mercy for them.

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Christian Jesus v. Trump Jesus: A Conversation with the New Evangelicals’ Tim Whitaker): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/537745/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1058/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH4728754758.mp3?updated=1717460630

Christian Nationalism is a giant threat to our country. A danger to women, to minorities, to the marginalized and to democracy itself. While these white, Christian nationalists believe they’re saving the country from heathenism, what they’re really offering is a theocracy of top down control with themselves at the top. We must see this threat for what it is, and that starts with understanding. Tim Whitaker is the founder of the New Evangelicals, an inclusive, Jesus-centered community that holds space for those marginalized by the evangelical church and advocates for systemic change. Raised deep in the evangelical world – Tim had a crisis of faith watching his church leaders embrace a man who was so antithetical to what he had been taught to believe. He now holds the toxic churches and their leaders accountable, while still offering a home of faith to his fellow Christians. Please join us for this incredibly engaging conversation.

Trevors is the ultimate palate cleanser in a world of shouty angry religious types. It’s nice to be reminded a difference face on faith exists.

A discussion of the difference between chaplains and pastors (etc)

So in honor of #PrideMonth

I am reading an article about how every time ancient art depicts a goddess as sexually alluring, they always get labeled a "goddess of fertility". Even when there is no indication of children, pregnancy, or anything fertile.

The article argues that some goddesses were deities of sex and pleasure, without the maternal fertility aspect.

I am like 🤯 🤯 I have a whole entire archaeology degree and we never addressed this...

“Spiritual warfare theology … lead[s] to the demonization of peoples, cultures, and political communities.”

A “prophetic” movement, led in part by Texans, is gaining ground—and everyone should pay attention. New today from Correspondent @drdrbrockman: https://www.texasobserver.org/new-apostolic-reformation-texas-leaders/
