Totally agree. Almost said as much but ran out of characters

πŸ‘‹ Hi I’m a progressive Christian minister and hospital chaplain who believes:

β€’ women are equally called to serve as preachers, pastors, and faith leaders
β€’ women are underrepresented in the government
β€’ women will lead us out of this maga mess we’re in

Hallelujah, brother. Well said.

You can try to sanitize supremacy by calling it biblical.

You can try to justify war by calling it holy.

But real followers of Jesus know his voice and it sounds nothing like this administration or the grifters who call it Christian.

They’re not praying. It’s a fascist petting zoo.

Jesus taught his followers not to participate in performative piety. I doubt these prayers made it past the god-awful gold curtains.

Okay but I can still be excited about his death, right? Because I feel like God would have my back on that one.

Getting excited about a country being bombed doesn’t make you ready for the rapture, it makes you ready for the psych ward.

As a hospital chaplain people tend to tell me anything and everything on their minds. Since the attack on Iran there has been a shift. Old conservatives are breaking rank. His base is shrinking. Little by little. It’s shrinking.

When Muslims Jews and Christians are at war God is on the side of innocent children.

Obsessing over the end times with asinine rapture predictions and a sloppy proof text for every current event has proven time and time again to bear bad fruit. It creates Christian conspiracy theorists who dissociate from reality and fantasize about abandoning their neighbors.

They say America
but they mean rich oligarchs

They say patriotism
but they mean cult-like loyalty

They say freedom
but they mean cheap oil

They say God, Jesus, and the Bible
but they mean capitalism,
white supremacy,
and patriarchy.

I was once asked if there was anything I didn’t hate about the president. My response, β€œit seems like he is slow to go to war.”

I was wrong. I thought he had ONE respectable character trait, but I was wrong, and when I’m wrong I have the decency to admit it.

Your turn, MAGA.

In 2026 Conservative Christians would have you believe the president is a spiritual leader and John Piper is a woke heretic. DumbπŸ‘estπŸ‘timeπŸ‘lineπŸ‘

Trans people aren’t hurting anyone, but transphobiaβ€”like racism, misogyny, and other small-minded bigotriesβ€”hurts everyone.

Anyone who claims to follow Jesus but fails to show kindness to the trans community is at best a clanging gong.

Every day that goes by without this man being struck down by lightning from heaven is a testament to God’s long-suffering patience. God does not need the United States of America and God sure as hell doesn’t need a predatory narcissistic lying felonious bully in the Oval Office.

If we routinely appeal to God’s grace to pardon our preferred politicians but seek divine wrath to punish our ideological enemies, we have leaned away from Jesus Christ and fully embraced the god of confirmation bias.
