I can't count the number of times I've been asked, "why did so many white evangelicals vote for Donald Trump?"
But I've never been asked, "why did so many white evangelicals vote for Mitt Romney?"
The reason is that they vote for Republicans.
@HornSports and they'll do it again next year. say please and thank you and ignore the fact that we are the largest brand in college football and cannot call our own shots for fan/player safety.

@_delconte Or, do the game at night. We have plenty of money and are the largest brand in college athletics. Many alumni families can only afford this "type" of game, and we have to suffer for it. $600 to sit in the cooling tent and leave at halftime. Very cool.
Texas played 50 August/September home games from 1955-92. Five of them started before 6 p.m.
They've played five daytime starts in August and September since 2024 alone.
Of all the ways college football caters to what the TV companies want, this is one of the most egregious.
@osucowboytc Japan is basically zero % christian has basically zero % crime rate. Haiti is basically 100% christian and has basically a 100% crime rate. Correlation and causation are not the same things. What a weird take, but it makes sense if you must fabricate an enemy to be mad at.
People can't afford groceries, gambling addiction is soaring, and sex workers are becoming millionaires in droves, BUT my representative wore a shirt about a niche issue, so I'm feeling pretty good overall.
No matter how much you know it cold, squaring the human longing to belong against the promise that you will not, even in the places you expect to the most, is a life-long tussle. Where do I fit into the world? I don't. But I will, one day soon.
Maybe not you though. Weirdo.
as i get older, iโm finding, unhappily, that forgiveness is the closest spiritual practice we have to sanctification. even when we mean it earnestly and fully, it is not a one-time declaration. instead, it is a work, full of stops and starts. a slow climb out of bitterness.
if you ever find yourself knocked over by the wake of yesterday and are questioning your own capacity to forgive, remember: it isnโt that you havenโt forgiven; itโs that you are still forgiving. and no one promises that you ever get to stop.
anyway, something for me this week.
โThen Peter came up and said to him, โLord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?โ Jesus said to him, โI do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.โโ

I'm in the Washington Post this morning.
I introduce the term: "Vibes Revival"
You know the term "vibecession"?
Everyone thinks the economy is bad, when the underlying data is pretty good?
In religion, it's the exact opposite.
Everyone seems to think religion is surging, when the data tells the opposite story.
