@nancyfrench.bsky.social I finally read Ghosted and find it a truly amazing book. Funny enough, Steve Prevwitt was the only professor at Lipscomb who challenged my writing. It took decades to appreciate that...

The attitude that Kevin speaks about here is anti-Gospel. Jesus never blamed the hurting for their hurt.
The Grants Pass Gospel Rescue Mission continues to say the quiet part out loud, comparing becoming homeless to getting an STD.
Remember: this is the only shelter in the city that was at the center of the Supreme Court case where they decided that cities like this could criminalize homelessness.

Just buy this book. That is all.
Just wanted to post the processed numbers for my book Tolkien and Pop Culture. 47 units is not a lot, but it’s a lot to me and feels amazing that people find my writing good enough to pay for. Thanks to all who’ve supported my writing. I’m stoked to keep it going! a.co/d/eLpSWc9

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

I think something that has legitimately shifted tectonicallly for me in my thinking is that "biblical theology" as a category used to be an obvious and intuitive project and now I have really no idea how to describe it as a coherent activity.

1/ It's fascinating to see so many MAGA Christians either outright attacking Carter's memory or offering thinly-veiled insults wrapped in an ersatz condolence of his passing. Here's the thing to remember: MAGA Christians can't stand Carter.

Now that @maklelan.bsky.social has so soundly trounced the “biblical literalism is objective truth” crowd, can Christians finally get back to using THEOLOGY to interpret Scripture, like how Christians have done for pretty much all the preceding centuries except the most recent one??
