A short musing on the narcissism infecting the American Evangelical body, and Josh Howerton's demonstration of it. Link in the graphic.

1/ Time to put on my Theo Prof hat: This will def be something @wearenotenemies.bsky.social talk a little about sometime in a Sacred Shenanigans episode, soon. It's criminally easy to lump all of the MAGA Christen/CN/Theobro groups into one bucket. But ... that isn't accurate, in the least.

1/ New Episode: @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon sit down with @wthrockmorton.bsky.social about his new book "The Christian Past that Wasn't." Warren walks them through some myths commonly held by Christian Nationalists today about America's founding & talks about what the future looks like.

Personal Post: We’ve just arrived in France, for a quick visit to see our daughter who is in Uni here. For the next few day, this will be me and emotional support baguette.

1/ NEW EPISODE: @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon talk current events: Graham Platner, Fear, Lindsey Graham, America's CCP-style governance, Communism, the compromise of politics, and Ben hits the pulpit & teaches on mutual submission. Bonus: A stuff racoon makes a brief appearance.

You can smell the date-rape drugs in the pic even over the internet. This is like a yearbook picture for Stalker High.

1/ NEW EPISODE: In this free-wheeling uncut episode, @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon talk about the recent passing of Al Mohler's resolution to silence women in the SBC, the hypocrisy in the resolution, and what the future looks like for those with their necks under the boots of Mohler's ilk.

“Guys, don’t worry about Mohler meeting with Christian Nationalist kinists. It’s just a meeting of great minds discussing serious things. Just like the Wannsee Conference!”

Trying to get the rust out of my writing hand. open.substack.com/pub/bonhoeff...

It's truly fascinating, from both academic and moral povs, to see her literally claim that equality/agency being given to minorities drove white people to identify with their own color negatively. "I wouldn't hit you baby, if you'd just make better meatloaf!"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but ... 83% of American Evangelicals will eventually have to face God with a bigger body count than Hitler. That isn't hyperbole ... that is an end-product of American Evangelicalism in bed with power. The MAGA Christen are serial killers.

1/ Why are all the evangelical racists so obsessed with hollywood-style homoerotic imagery like leather kilts and oiled bodies? I think there needs to be a lot more discussion on the real roots of the modern evangelical white supremacist/kinist draw.

1/ Watch. Trump will try to claim success on an Iran agreement tonight at the gladiator fights at the WH. Here's the problem: Iran just announced they would control traffic through the Strait.

1/ New Episode: @wearenotenemies.bsky.social & Bon talk about the efforts to destroy American healthcare. Ben schools us on events in rural North Carolina that are being mirrored nationwide. Then Bon and Ben talk about the Christian approach and how Christians should think and respond to the issue.

A STORY IN TWO TWEETS: It's going to be hilarious when MAGA realizes Trump's constant claims about peace with Iran was just a tactic to short oil stocks for the profit of himself and the rest of the Epstein Administration. Even pedophiles have to get rich, right? Sigh.

For a long time, @wearenotenemies.bsky.social has extolled the goodness of Cook-Out, to me. Whilst visiting family, I finally ran into one. I was sorely tempted to exit my car and hold my corndog and cheese curds aloft and say “I dedicate this sacrifice to Ben” as if he were Odin. Lol.

Man, the Trump admin will do anything to keep the public from realizing how often Dementia Donny falls asleep in Cabinet meetings.

1/ New Episode! @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon talk with journalist Robert Downen about his recent article on Paul Pressler, SBC leadership cover-up culture, and what the near-future of Evangelicalism could be.

This is also what he said to the girls he raped with Epstein.

Whenever Graham talks like this, it reminds me of the Friends episode where Monica wears a Thanksgiving turkey over her head. If Graham could ... he'd wear Trump as a full helmet to demonstrate his fealty and dance around on camera whilst doing it.

Do you know why people, particularly comp theo adherents, claim God (he who made ALL mankind in his image) is a male? Because by doing so they can reduce God to mankind's level ... in order for men to be able to claim that they are Gods. It's nothing but a modern tower of Babel.

fascinating

1/ While Mohler's desire to bar women from leadership is risible, it's important to NOT let it distract from the more important subtext of his position, and the heretical comp theology that he espouses: Mohler's version of Christianity is fundamentally masturbatory and phallic.

1/ New Episode: @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon talk Ellul, propaganda, how the Iran war is effecting people on the ground, the K shaped economy, why Kevin de Young went full Wilson, pastors show their true colors, Mammon-shaped Evangelicalism, and the money that funds Christian Nationalism.

Let's be clear about Ryan Visconti's position: His position isn't "anti-Democrat" per se. His position, really, is pro-pedophile. A fellow minister is literally telling the world you have to support a raping pedophile to maintain Church community. Political positions aren't salvic.

This is EXACTLY the thought process that must have run through the brains of people like Doug Wilson, Allie Beth Stuckey, Al Mohler, and Meg Basham when they decided to stand with the molesting pedophile Donald Trump. Nothing matters when dollar bills and power are on the line.

It’s lovely that the state visit by King Charles to America has gone so well. In fact, just today King Charles said “I really like Trump … he’s just like my brother, to me.”

1/ New Episode! @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon answer listener questions, what happens to Evangelicalism after Trump, the limits of charity, how propagandists like Allie Stuckey use children to manipulate others. Finally, we talk Karp, Thiel, and technofascism in bed with Evangelicalism.

Calling it now, despite it being high-handed: Franklin Graham’s soul is lost. His complicity is so complete that if Trump has the opportunity to assault another woman, it’ll be Franklin holding her down for Trump, instead of Epstein.

It’s always fascinating to see yet another person publicly admit they don’t know that Just War theory is a man-made self-gratifying false doctrine and has no support in scripture. It’s just a costume for Mammon. Whom did Christ command us to wage war upon?
