The thumbs down is definitely the gesture that's catching my eye at this particular evangelical church.
Guys, I grew up in churches. I've seen "holy hands."

Save it.
Again, my reaction to a photo like this is: sure, there's a perfectly innocent explanation, just like there was the last 100 times, but we know already which institutions provide enthusiastic sustaining energizing political force to supremacy, so...
And again, even with our perfectly innocent explanation for that picture, Trump has already proved what he is again and again and again.

It is what it is.

"Not doing bad things even if other people do bad things" is the most basic kindergarten morality imaginable, yet our president can't grasp it.
And yes, Iran isn't the country that uses roadside bombs, and yes, he's proposing breaking international law. All that, too.

But an immoral person experiences morality as weakness.
Our president experiences basic morality as weakness.

syllogism ipsa loquitur
Anyway, people who'd like the United States to get on the same exact same moral level as ISIS and stay there certainly have their leader.

I like to tell my kids I’m working on a new book, then tell them stories premised on old pop culture.

“Let me tell you a story about this man named … Jed. He was a poor mountaineer. Some days he’d go out hunting all day and barely come back with enough to keep his family fed.”
“So one day he’s shooting at some food, when … the bullet ricochets off a rock and hits him right in the eye. Poor Jed’s half blind.”

“Jed’s worried, too, because he was just about to head back, and a mighty blizzard is coming.”
“Now the animal he was shooting at was a raccoon. And when Jed finally stops the bleeding and gets himself calmed down, he notices the raccoon still there, looking at him. Just really staring at him.”

“Despite his pain, Jed nearly screams with surprise when the raccoon speaks.”

OK let’s settle this.

Greatest quarterback of all time:
OK I am hearing from many of you feel have left somebody obvious out.

Most glaring omission from the previous poll?
Look, I'm sorry to have still left out so many possibilities, there've just been a TON of quarterbacks.

Who ELSE most deserves inclusion in the discussion?

After reading John 9, @drmoore tells the story of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing and the shards of shattered glass that had once been a stained glass window of Jesus’ face. People asked where was God. And people ask that now—where is the face of Jesus in the abuse crisis?
. @drmoore mentions abuse in movie companies, Roman Catholic Church, Boy Scouts, ending with an emphasis on the Houston Chronicle report (by @RobDownenChron et. al) exposing 700 cases of sexual abuse in Southern Baptist churches. #caringwell #sbctoo #churchtoo @ERLC

1/ For English speakers, here are some highlights from my interview this morning on @RC_ML. What impact did evangelicals have on the American and Brazilian elections? Do they have a growing influence in Canada? I also talked about my #exvangelical life.

2/ After a brief introduction on the role of the evangelical vote in the American election, the question was asked on whether or not evangelicals also had an impact on Bolsonaro's victory? Brazil's population is 210 million people; approximately 56 million are evangelicals.
3/ 70% of evangelicals voted for Bolsonaro, whose nickname is the “messiah.” What motivated evangelicals to vote for Bolsonaro was their sense of being in a "culture war," as well as their stance on abortion and their opposition to LGBTQ rights, etc.

#Exvangelical/#ChristianAltFacts story time! Been sitting on this one a while.
CW: Mentions of rape, suicide, and abusive thinking
A lot of you guys who know me on here probably know that I deal with a lot of self-hate. It started with me getting really mad at myself as a kid. 1/
I went from a self-deprecating remark here and there to crying, yelling, hitting myself and thinking I deserved to die by the beginning of high school, and I saw my parents' reactions change too - from comforting, to dismissing, to my mom threatening physical punishment. 2/
A bit counterproductive of course, but it was enough to keep me quiet.
The funny thing is, the threats weren't bc of an emergency (I never really hurt myself or attempted suicide or anything), or bc I owed myself better. I actually didn't really get much of a reason. 3/

hey y’all remember that time my college roommates/church leaders gaslighted the shit out of me for a full year and i had no where to go or escape because i would face the same thing with me family and friends and church
remember when my roommates would call “house meetings” and then spend an hour telling me what i was doing wrong as a christian and friend and person and then, when i would start to cry, tell me “we can feel the rejection you feel and you should only be feeling loved by this”
remember when they told me i was a bad friend because i began isolating myself, avoiding them as much as possible, and becoming very private about my life and feelings

Thread: Some recent articles/statements from @timkellernyc, @edstetzer, @BethMooreLPM & others have me thinking (as a lot of folks have) about the state of American evangelicalism...
I've been struggling to think of a way to offer this critique with all the respect, affection, and heartache I feel as someone who was raised in the evangelical movement, who benefited enormously from it, who still prays for its well-being, but who no longer identifies with it...
We've seen a lot of reflective pieces from evangelical leaders (Keller's in the New Yorker being the most recent) attempting to consider/explain the white evangelical alliance with Trump, Moore, Bannon, & white nationalism...
