Looks like Republicans who don't condone Trump's hate and sexual proclivities are being called out for criticizing his BEHAVIOR. Which god do Evangelicals politically serve? Seems like the line is being drawn. Got this in the mail today.

IF this is true, will churches (of West Virginia) be mandated to check the immigration status of each of their bus ministry riders or risk criminalization? Curious... https://twitter.com/ACLU_WV/status/1762181342874177666 ACLU of WV @ACLU_WV The House has passed HB 5031 which would...

Nex Benedict was a non-binary student who as required by law, use the restroom of their birth sex which was a girls' bathroom in the school they attended. It was there they were beaten up by a group of girls, causing their death. The school broke up the attack but never called police or even the...

Interesting commercials but here's my view: it is an attempt to bring piety back to Evangelicalism or perhaps a tool to whitewash it's actions and intents. In the Super Bowl ads, the producers used characters of power to wash the feet of those who are oppressed (primarily those ostracized by...

There is no “God of the Bible” and I don’t mean that in some kind of atheistic “all gods are fairy tales” kind of way. I mean it in the sense that the Bible does not present a single depiction of God; rather it presents numerous different and frequently contradictory depictions of God. The...

Grooming is a problem in the IFB. If Anderson didn't know what he was doing, it just shows how benign the grooming of adolescent girls is viewed in IFB circles.

Yep. We ALL have bias in our belief system. We just all have different lenses we use to form that bias.

Finally hit a (seemingly) slow day at work today so I thought I'd stop by to see how my FFF peeps were doing. Hope all are doing well!

Yep. Based on (biblical) context and Rabbinical hermeneutic of Talmud, David and Jonathan were not only lovers, but married. String of X posts by a Rabbi into a single thread: So let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. David was bisexual, and he and Jonathan were lovers. The evidence in...

...Russell Moore is at least acknowledging some issues with the expanding crisis which is Christian Nationalism. "(Russell) Moore told NPR in an interview released Tuesday that multiple pastors had told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount, specifically the part that says to “turn the...

I no longer worship. I'm a hypocrite because that's not completely true; worship is in our DNA and is universal among all humans and cultures. Our desires create the object of worship. Apart from that contradiction which is within all humanity, here is why I don't worship God. 1. God exists...

Someone on FB yesterday wondered if I would ever be back on this forum. Thought I would peek in. And for those who haven't kept up with me, I'm sure you won't be surprised but I've deconstructed what was once my faith. At the present time I am neither theist nor atheist but rather a hybrid of...
