In the most recent polling they polled higher than evangelicals on both prayer and daily Bible reading, so that’s probably a yes.

It’s not light reading but it’s worth it. Even just reading some of the shorter works in the collection.

The -eō, -aō, and -oō endings of verbs in koine Greek takes a bit of getting used to

Jesus didn’t choose a crown of power. He chose a crown of thorns.

He’s the same religion as Crockett, so not sure why that matters in the slightest.

The Spanish Inquisition is almost as infamous as the Crusades. I’m shocked they thought it was vibes. That’s just nuts.

I don’t know about every state, but in Missouri teachers pay out the nose for the insurance, especially if they want to put family members on it.

He never struck me as a true believer. I’m surprised he didn’t just auto-pivot like most other maga influencers. Still doubtful he won’t pivot to follow Trump’s lead eventually.

That isn’t exactly new. American Presidents have talked that way about the USA for decades, as the culmination of freedom and democracy in history. There’s always been a tinge of theology behind it, especially when they started tapping into the idea of the US as a city on a hill.

This isn’t exactly new. The USA has been doing this for well over 100 years. We just have social media so people see it in real time.

He’s actually not. He’s a post millennial who doesn’t believe in the rapture, but thinks Christians should take over the whole world and make every nation and every culture Christian in order for Jesus to come back.

Yep. It’s an in-group centered on a loose Christianese deism and white conservative political and cultural identity.

Jail and confiscation of whatever little things a homeless person might own, would be my guess.

As we all know, antipopes are famed for their humility and love for the poor.

One the one hand yes.

On the other hand, if there were 30,000 dead protesters in Minneapolis instead of two, who knows what we would consider worse at that point?

The irony of this is, I’m pretty sure the fight this picture is taken from, the Goose eventually ran the eagle off after 20 minutes of fighting.

My in laws don’t ever take their phones into the bedroom. Works like a charm for them.

I did that a few years ago, and just never went back.

Evangelicals are the easiest target in America and rightfully so. But yeah, we didn’t start it. We aren’t old enough to have started it, heh.

I doubt the number of people in our congregations who practice Christian disciplines like regularly fasting throughout the year are exceptionally high in the USA.

Or even just repent of it later?

There are kings that walked barefoot through the alps to beg the pope to grant them forgiveness.

Strange Aeons is a campaign that only has its full impact if the people playing it have never played it before, and are unaware of the story line.

There are two kinds of people that wear images of themselves.

Narcissists and Youth Pastors.
