Al Mohler has a quote in his mind-bending anti-student-debt-forgiveness diatribe (not gonna drive clicks) which reads, “Understanding a biblical conception of justice, a debt voluntarily and justly entered into remains a debt that demands to be paid.” 1/6 #StudentDebt My dude, that is the overwhelming majority of what Evangelicalism defines as sins - acts voluntarily and justly entered into. Penal Substitutionary Atonement (Mohler’s fave flavor, not mine) would claim that such sins can only be atoned for by Jesus’ Death. 2/6

Why my conservative friends should be alarmed about what happened in DC last night:

1. The POTUS, in a pre-planned action, had the police tear gas and clear the private property of a church 25 minutes before the declared curfew. #StJohnsChurch #Protests2020 1/10 During this clearing, several pastors who were running an aid station to extend hospitality in the name of Jesus were expelled against their will from church property. 2/10

The President has, over the last weekend, implied that a whistleblower should be executed, and that civil war will occur if he is impeached. This is a president who supports “Law and Order?” #impeachment Best quote overheard today: “Republicans have been reduced to the classic ‘I’m rubber, you’re glue’ defense.” #impeachment

Also, if you’re saying, “He’s racist, but…” your privilege is showing. People of color do not have the luxury of qualifying or ignoring it. #Racism If you see “Go back where you came from,” literally #1 on the #whitesupremacy all-time greatest hits list, and deny the blatant racism of the person who uttered it, you are truly living in a bubble of privilege and denial. #Racism
