@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?
The sooner humans get past this the better our chance of survival. #climatecrisis #genocide
@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.

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.

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."

"Trump offered the more potent object. The fact that the sitting pope is now the one calling this out, by name, in direct and unambiguous terms, and that the American Catholic majority remains unmoved by the call, demonstrates the displacement in its purest observable form. The native egg has gone over the side of the nest. The warbler is looking at the cuckoo and feeding it anyway."

"The American Catholics who voted for Trump are still Catholic. They still attend Mass. They will still receive communion from a priest who answers to the bishop who answers to the pope Trump is attacking. The substrate capture Palmer & Steadman’s mechanism predicts does not require a formal break with the institutional church. It requires only that the public act of communicated acceptance migrate to a more potent object."
