It might or might not ... All one can do is vote, stick together, and protest peacefully. All this and more, because of the #UnAmericanVoters, #Billionaires, #Evangelicals, #ChristoFascists, and the large group of f-ing idiots, who did not vote in 2024. 🤞 Let's hope, we will come out of it better than we went in 🤞 maybe even strengthen democracy, rebuild better, hold all these fascists accountable, start a #GreenNewDeal, and tax billionaires out of existence...

@thetnholler.bsky.social thanks #evangelicals couldn’t elect these fools without them! I’ve gone from #agnostic to #athiest to believing they don’t even believe to just calling religion what it is, a mental illness. What else could allow such suffering in the name of my fairytale is greater than your fairytale?

@realTuckFrumper the years we have squandered on this fucking grifter. Never forget how we got here and the ones who enabled it #evangelicals We put the final nail in the coffin of an empire for cheaper eggs

It will take generations to right this ship, lots of rotten planks to remove and replace. The #DNC still doesn’t get it either #democracticsocialist

David Gushee looks at why so many post-evangelical churches are now flourishing in the US, and he notes one big factor: many of these churches moved away from evangelicalism because of the stance of evangelical churches towards LGBTQ people.

Post-Evangelical Churches Are Succeeding

And: a first try at a taxonomy.

There are times that I wish people's pants would spontaneously ignite. "Liar, liar, pants on fire" sort of thing. Many of those participating will have to wipe the dust from their Bibles. Still astonishing that the anti-woke so love a book about such a woke person as Jesus.

Trump reads Old Testament passage in marathon Bible event

President Donald Trump and many of his conservative Christian supporters are participating in a marathon Bible reading event. The America Reads the Bible event is being livestreamed from the Museum of the Bible in Washington and other locations. In his segment, Trump read an Old Testament passage that calls for national repentance. Participants include Republican politicians and evangelical supporters. The event is organized by Christians Engaged and is part of a larger project connecting America's 250th birthday with a Christian vision. The reading includes the entire Bible, from famous verses to obscure passages. Critics argue the event is partisan, with a focus on Christian nationalism.

"The teachings have not been repudiated, which would require an act of doctrinal confrontation the movement has no appetite for. They have been pushed out of the nest."

The cuckoos are running the show, in nests that don't even belong to them, but which they've occupied by parasitism."

"Locate a prominent Trump-era pastor, in either tradition, preaching the rich young ruler without softening the blow of the response Jesus actually gives. Locate a defense of 'love your enemies' delivered between January 2017 and the present in a church whose congregation voted for Trump at eighty percent."

"Which teachings have been pushed out, specifically? Locate an evangelical sermon delivered between 2016 and 2025 on the Beatitudes as practical ethics rather than devotional decoration. Locate a sustained defense from Catholic Trump voters of Matthew 25, the passage in which Christ identifies himself with the stranger, the prisoner, the hungry, the naked, the foreigner."
