You only need two things for Christian community:

1. Confess your sins to one another.
2. Don't be a weirdo.

@jamesfishback We can't be a free people without free markets. Economic liberty is necessary for political liberty.

The reason we have elected officials swearing oaths on the Quran is because of all those who swore on a Bible and didn’t fulfill their oaths.

@twtChaz @ExtremelyAvg I've said it before, but nobody ever realises they're Umbridge - and yet she's the most common type of villain in the world.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1

@not_our_guy incredible things are happening

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

A new lawsuit has been filed against leading AI companies to pause advanced AI development. Good.

If AI escapes human control, we could be looking at disaster. A global financial crisis? A Chernobyl-type meltdown? Even worse?

We can't wait to find out. Pause advanced AI NOW!

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

Oo thats good

[Andrew Huff @andrewjohnhuff]

(Okay, one last post because I'm thinking about it) The MCU worked because the core heroes were each an archetype: a flawed hero, a wholesome hero, and a cosmic hero. The DC heroes haven't worked yet because they're making a critical error by thinking Superman is the cosmic hero when he's actually the wholesome one:

Iron Man (flawed) = Batman
Captain America (wholesome) = Superman
Thor (cosmic) = Wonder Woman

Superman might feel cosmic because he's from another world but he's as American as baseball and apple pie while Wonder Woman should feel like the outsider with a sense of culture vastly different from the rest (she's from a place cutoff from the rest of the world). They tend to get Batman right because he is correctly identified as the flawed hero, the human who's only able to keep up thanks to his wealth and technology.

Christopher Reeve has so far been the only film Superman to embody both strength and wholesomeness in the right balance. Henry Cavill was great at projecting strength but the films he was in lacked wholesomeness. David Corenswet had flashes of wholesomeness that were buried underneath terrible writing and direction that ultimately accomplished neither.

The beating heart of Christianity is repentance.

If there is a single thing you can be absolutely sure that Jesus will require of you, it’s change.

4,500+ babies have been killed in Idaho since Roe was overturned.

I’m calling for their equal protection.

I’m calling for the abolition of abortion.

@Taylor_A_Eaton only one of these things is actually in scripture

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

nah

it is infinitely easier to make a case for baby dedication than there is for baby baptism

[Taylor Eaton (Active Account) @Taylor_A_Eaton]

Baptists make the Presbyterians’ case every time they have “baby dedication.”

@CalebDixonSmith lol nah, only one of these is actually in scripture

Progressives love twisting the beautiful truth that "God loved us even when we were sinners" into "being a sinner is what God loves about you."

God's love does meet us where we're at. And it doesn't leave us there. It utterly transforms us.

Love doesn't require change.People who love understand this.

Another good thread on ectopic. We must have principles. We must be consistent.

[Wes Russell @decorated_dust]

The ectopic issue is always fascinating.

It is one of the issues where Pro-Lifers will show their hand that they actually do believe some lives are more valuable than others. For them mother>baby.

Their answer for ectopic pregnancies is typically kill the baby ASAP.
