I will accept higher gas prices. I will also accept your resignation.
At least Christian Nationalists are honest about their lack of compassion.
Trump lost the war in Iran so now he’s attacking (checks notes) American children.
I don’t care that his hair is fake. I care that his Christianity is fake. I care that his patriotism is fake. I care that his supporters fake outrage over subtle threats to their cultural dominance while this fake business tycoon corrupts everything and everyone he touches.
If you actually follow Jesus it will be self-described Christians that cancel you, not society.
The story of Noah’s ark is just that, a story. It’s a Hebrew alternative to other ancient near east flood myths. Don’t reject Christianity bc fundamentalists tell you the Bible is 100% factual. They’re wrong. There are, however, valuable truths to mine from fiction.
It’s true he gave an embarrassingly immature interview. It’s also true that he—in collaboration with the current U.S. president—cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and vulnerable people. I’d like to see more headlines about the latter.
Conservative Christians when they find out the early church lived like socialists.
Christian Nationalism is a Trojan Horse. On the outside it tries to look virtuous but on the inside it’s filled with racism, misogyny, and a faithless love of power.
By nature Christian Nationalist men are simply too emotional to accept that women don’t support their pathetic attempts to normalize supremacy.
Who knows, if the guy on the left wasn’t an incompetent racist predatory narcissist these two might’ve been friends.
Josh Hokit could win a thousand UFC fights and he still wouldn’t be as strong as the average black woman.
Christianity ought to be loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. It doesn’t need to be muscular because—if it’s the real thing—it’s true strength comes from God.
In a historic NBA finals game, Taylor Swift just beat Donald Trump.
I’ve never heard anyone booed so aggressively. The American people repent of making this man their president.
Christian pastors who are silent about white supremacy, Islamophobia, and gun violence are complicit.
Jesus: Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Trump: Gasoline prices will drop like a rock.
Obviously it’s idolatry to suggest he is some kind of god, but it’s also idolatry—arguably the actual sin of the golden calf—to suggest God stands with him.
Scott Jennings is the embodiment of the MAGA movement as a whole. The real demons come out when they know they’re losing.
Now he has a phony blue pool to match his phony Christianity.
When you ask complementarians to show you where the Bible says women can’t be pastors
Probably wouldn’t expect to hear this from a Christian pastor but some people should really stop reading the Bible. They should just put it on the shelf and not touch it until they’ve learned some basic human decency. Scripture isn’t meant to enable moral mediocrity.
All this time Republicans could have just repealed Obamacare and replaced it with Trump’s magical Doctor Jesus hands.
