Y'all I am against saying that anyone who claims to be a Christian "isn't really one" because a) only God knows the heart, b) "Christian" is a complex sociological term, and c) I don't like when they do it to me. But like....
Spent my life in the church and on the left. That would sound unbelievable in todays political context

○ An autistic person's personal priorities or definition of happiness may be miles away from the neurotypical definition of happiness. ● Forcing us to adopt the neuronormative standard for happiness could very well make us completely miserable.
When I think about enemies of God it would start with being enemies to one another, enemies to children, enemies to LGBT folks. If a shred of social decency and love of neighbor could be had it might make me pause and listen. But otherwise it’s just an organized hate group.

if you’re an autistic person and you need to leave an event because of sensory overload/overwhelm: it is not a personal failure on your behalf, it’s an accessibility failure on their behalf
What would evangelicalism look like without hell? Would they even exist and bother to gather?
since the churches obviously cannot be trusted to not boost extraordinarily harmful things on people, it's kind of a big deal when they tell the flock to "raise their children in the lord" when what they mean is "tell your kids they can't leave us no matter how abusive we become"

to be clear "Reformed™️" is different from "Reformed (normie)" or "Reformed (Marilynne Robinson Version)" Reformed™️ is basically profitable worm theology

@alec_badenoch Also! Exploring how early communities may have used threads of stories against each other helps deflate the “the bible speaks with one voice” position that overlooks differences and offers black box solutions to genuine textual problems Some initial responses. Please ask more :)
@alec_badenoch Rather than increasing the authority of one over the other, I’m in favor (as a scholar, Catholic, & reasonable person) of deflating the authority of both the Gospels & Paul’s letters, & increasing the authority of present interpretive communities (fancy word for it: synodality) 2
The Gospels were written after Paul’s letters. They were designed to “disagree with Paul,” specifically the Pauline community practices, and replace them with new practices “in the name of Jesus.” Later, a character of “Paul” is written in the Acts that “agrees” with the changes.
The "I must punish my sinful infant" guy makes a powerful argument in favor of the reformed doctrine of the total depravity of the unregenerate, but not the one he wants to make.

Today it was confirmed that Art History will be ‘phased out’ at the University of Kent – along with Anthropology, Journalism, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Music. What a tremendous loss.

@farmingandJesus Yes! That is one of the verses that I said we are super well acquainted with and that if you actually want to convince us, you would have to read up on how we understand it and make the argument that our understanding is mistaken.

Controversial Statement: Churches that host political events and make statements on how voting against their party impacts salvation should lose their Tax Exemption immediately. That ain't a church, that's a PAC with an offering plate, using Jesus as their mascot.
Trump ally Charlie Kirk: “I want to make sure we all make a commitment, that if this election doesn’t go our way, the next day we’d fight.” Kirk then compared this commitment to those who fought in the American Revolution.
Here is a whole video response that addresses this comment.

all the recent discourse about whether 4 month olds are evil just has me once again thinking that you can get people to believe and revere nearly anything if you center it in a community they’re in and value and push it hard af on them from childhood forward
So, their campaign slogan is “Guns Don’t Kill People, Puppies Do”?

Of course queer people groom kids. We have weekly morning and evening classes where we often talk about sexually. We have alternate curriculum to teach kids "truth." We even warn children about the dangers of everyone else's ideologies. Wait, no, that's evangelicalism.
i honestly think a lot of christians just don’t read the bible
