I was a Twitter expert on politics, elections and the history of the New Testament but that was all taken away from me (except the New Testament). Now I’m aimless and adrift, searching for purpose.
Started to read the Shepard of Hermas today and checked to see how long it was. Feel like this AI answer nailed it. Why do you think? @laurarbnsn.bsky.social

While Trump’s political instincts are probably better than mine, I do wonder if he misjudged these tariffs.
While he may be correct that the tariffs hurt other countries more than the US, other country’s leaders can blame the US for their suffering. US voters can only blame Trump.

This whole “mystery drone” thing on the east coast and the UFO idea in general mainly rests on the fact that people are super uncomfortable saying “I don’t know”. Just because we can eliminate some likely causes DOESN’T mean your super unlikely conspiracy theory is more likely to be true.

Let’s do a thread on how the Bible treats political violence and assassination.
1st, We are going to examine the story of Ehud and the assassination of King Eglon in Judges 3.
In the story, Israel does evil in the eyes of God and he delivers them into the hands of the Moabite King Eglon. 1/

We all agree that vigilante justice is bad public policy. I also think just about everyone also agrees that vigilante justice can sometimes be acceptable. Is this the case for the United Health CEO, I dunno, but there’s a lot of people that are acting like they don’t understand vigilante justice.

So I’ve been thinking about the murder of the United Health CEO and I have some thoughts.
A lot of people have said things like “violence is never the answer” and while that’s typically true, it’s obviously not. Our country used violence during the revolutionary and civil wars and those are…1/

I actually think teaching the Bible in schools is a fantastic idea but teach it like any other work of literature not like a Holy Book. The biggest problem with the Bible is that no one knows how to read it correctly (least of all Christians).

I had sinus surgery today and the surgeon asked if he could pray over me before the surgery. I accepted because I thought it was a nice gesture but my immediate thought was that he wasn’t as good a surgeon as I thought because I associate devout Christians with anti-science/conspiracy theories now.
