Minister, Chaplain, Aspiring Homesteader. Interested in questions on meaning and how religion engages (or doesn’t) the conversation.
America moves heaven and earth to accommodate conservative religious belief.

Still waiting for this country to even acknowledge give a nod to progressive or liberal religious convictions.

Always astounded by those who sense a responsibility to usher in the end of the world on behalf of God.

If POTUS can (re)direct funding to the military during a federal shutdown, what is to stop this POTUS from (re)directing payroll to only certain military service members (like those who agree to Sec Def’s revised code of ethics and the Chief of Command’s view of insurrection)?

And yet, I haven’t heard the Pope thank VP Vance once.
Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Just thinking of what Christianity and the world would look like if the tradition had a more humble and consent-based idea of conversion.

When does Gov. Hochul decide to “pause” the direction of federal taxes from New York to cover the expense?
OMB Director Russell Voight says that US DOT will announce that the federal government is "pausing" funding for both Gateway and the Second Avenue Subway because of "unconstitutional DEI principles" -- x.com/russvought/s...

But what if the same person is “pro-Christian” and “anti-capitalism”???
🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened:

You can’t make a martyr without pyrotechnics.
Charlie Kirk's grieving widow had just left the stage moments before the fireworks for Trump kicked off.

Just so wildly and blatantly inappropriate for a memorial service for someone else.

Fucking nuts.

It is curious to observe how some identify one as a political debater and others the same as divisive and dehumanizing.

Both can’t be true.

There's a word from the Talmud on how one might grieve the death of an enemy.

After the waters of the Re(e)d Sea swallowed the Egyptian soldiers, a song broke out on the shores. Miriam led a song of divine deliverance. Finally, a barrier had emerged between the people and their enemies.

To begin with Genesis 1.1-2.4a is to encounter the divine chorus of “goodness” recognized in all of creation. It is also to understand ALL of humanity as made in the image of God (a plural being - “us” and “our”).

Christianity begins with a sacred affirmation of human identities - ALL identities.

To review the news of the administration on any particular day is to see again and again that this White House does not know nor care to expand the pie of abundance for everyone, but only devotes its attention to steal and deny wealth, prosperity, and even dignity for others to elevate himself.

“Law-and-order Christian” is an oxymoron and heresy.
“Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, the crusading law-and-order Christian who authorizes deals with child predators to protect her boss, simply rejects due process as an inviolate constitutional right.” www.thenation.com/article/soci...

It’s worth noting that the presence of military at our nation’s monuments is also filled with symbolism intent by this administration.

It is to conceal the ideals of wisdom and courage within our founders and national leaders and bring force and power to the foreground of every achievement.
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher?

JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.

There is always more present and shaping the world than divine will.

And while God’s will is understood in life, it is also fundamentally rooted in justice. Surviving an assassination attempt may be what the divine wills; horrific and cruel policies are certainly not.
Mike Johnson: "God miraculously saved the president's life -- I think it's undeniable -- and he did it for an obvious purpose. His presidency and his life are the fruits of divine providence. He points that out all the time and he's right to do so."

Once again, fundamentalist Christianity cannot survive in the world but only in a bubble. SCOTUS granting religious exemption from the public is the government extending the bubble.

The gospel of white Christian nationalism is the elevation and sanctification of the white, cisgender, heterosexist male. Nothing more.
Southern Baptists Call to Overturn Supreme Court Ruling on Same-Sex Marriage
The nation’s largest Protestant denomination was motivated by conservative Christians’ success in reversing Roe v. Wade.

To any distinguished world leaders planning a visit to the White House: come with a gift.

Perhaps that gift could be 100 dolls and 1,000 pencils - a gift for the people of America who have so little.
