@AngloVarangian Reading The Enchantments of Mammon: How Capitalism Became the Religion of Modernity, and he's absolutely right

@buckrebel @AngloVarangian @JoeDoe11096701 Me too!

When we say Christian Zionism is the most dangerous heresy, this is why. These people are the foot soldiers of the Antichrist.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

@buckrebel How many of us flirted with or ended up being atheists or pagans after growing up with this garbage? Lord, have mercy; thank God for the Holy Church.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

Evangelical Americanism is dying, and instead of asking, "Why God, is this fading away?" so many are doubling down instead.

Remember, if your worldview cannot withstand questions, it's not worth much.

My oldest daughter is allowed to watch some pre-approved YouTube channels, and one was a young evangelical Christian guy who is a Christian evangelist and preaches the gospel and talks about the Bible. The audience for his show is mostly evangelical kids raised in a Christian home.

All of a sudden he is interviewing Tucker Carlson and an orthodox priest who says we aren’t saved by faith, and he’s converting to Orthodoxy.

Thankfully, my daughter has discernment and she told me and said “Something seems really off about this,” and she starts asking me who Tucker is and what Orthodox Christians believe.

I haven’t watched these episodes, so to my knowledge, this kid hasn’t started talking about Israel and Jews yet, but I’m expecting him to any day now.

Tucker is targeting evangelical children now.

Insidious groomer.

@ShayneSwenson @FrLillie It's exhausting, but as a former Evangelical, I try to remind myself that I was this deluded once, too.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

@FrLillie It fundamentally shows the insecurity of the Evangelical mindset. It cannot withstand historical, philosophical, or theological debate, so it has to rely on insular, protective mechanisms of control. Glory to God that the Holy Church is penetrating.

@BeckyTheChicken I've tried to aim for getting pregnant in the late summer/early fall, so I'm due in the spring. Being PP in the winter is brutal, and that's peak sickness season.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

@dissidentwest Pro tip: if the majority of one of your incomes is going to be towards childcare, stay home and raise your kids. Better for everyone.

@Fuquet @leamaric I called in a prescription a month ago five days before it was going to be empty. Took them five days to fill it and I still had to wait 20 minutes when I picked it up. They would have never filled it if I hadn't shown up in person.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

@leamaric Good Lord. How many times do you have to wait for a prescription because the doc has to authorize it? These people are sick.

@kenzietuff 3 month olds are not socializing. 18 month olds are not socializing. They are either developing secure attachments to their home, or they are being split. It's so depressing people delude themselves about this.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

@kenzietuff That "socialization" is their children learning to attach to their peers rather than their own parents.

If you turn the failures of Lent into repentance, you are still doing Lent. The point is to struggle for Christ, whereas victory is His alone to give 🙏☦️

@TheLaurenChen 100%, but he's proven to be a huge jerk. The whole situation has been a microcosm of the gender wars.

[KarisRides @KarisRides]

@Cernovich It depends on whether you have kids or not. Those of us with kids never travel because it's just crazy expensive.

[Toby Rogers @uTobian]

We're in a difficult spot. Democrats are psychopaths who want to trans children, blot out the sun, and enslave humanity via iatrogenic injury. Yet Republicans still do the bidding of industry. So that leaves sane people leaning right but basically politically homeless.

@ClownWorld Lol investing $10k a month is not struggling. And $1,100 on skincare plus $750 on clothes? Cry me a river.
