It's really weird to watch particular personalities become avatars of public Christianity when there is zero evidence they have any sort of connection to a local church or practice any of the spiritual disciplines commanded in the New Testament.
Like I can't really wrap my head around foul-mouthed figures being identified as leaders of some Christian crusade. And I know some will say "but Trump," but I never really knew any Christians who viewed him as a spiritual leader. This knew thing is something different. It's very disturbing.
@megbasham I don’t know. I don’t think @jchasedavis is all that bad.
@megbasham Almost everything in the conservative movement these days is just empty rhetoric. Record doesn't matter. Intellectual consistency doesn't matter. Being a good person doesn't matter. It's just, "He said the thing I wanted to hear this second! Yeah! Awesome!"
@megbasham This thread from @_kruptos gives some insight into that, but I don't think he accounts for the secular-ish element on the right that is trying to claim Christianity as well. x.com/_kruptos/statu…
