A word on the idiocy known as "immunity debt". How did such a nonsensical idea take hold?

Simple. The obvious mental model for our immune system is a muscle: use it or lose it. Muscles atrophy when we don't use them. The same mental model works for our memories & skills.

Brad and Dan discuss what are increasing calls by conservatives to abandon actual conservative principles and instead to embrace radicalism, totalitarianism, and violence, to embrace big government power against opponents. ⁦@StraightWhiteJC⁩ https://t.co/ISYedscO7l

In this episode, Brad argues that Stephen Wolfe’s "The Case for Christian Nationalism" is a stone’s throw from advocating for ethno-nationalism. ⁦@StraightWhiteJC⁩ https://t.co/uEYZB9JDuF

You’d be hard pressed to find an evangelical culture built on biblical literalism to be in alignment with the text it claims to take literally.

[The New Evangelicals @newvangelicals]

A Christian culture that prides itself on being mean, spiteful and arrogant really makes you wonder how much of their world-view is actually centered on the way of Jesus. But that can't possibly be the reason we're leaving conservative evangelicalism...we just want to sin more.
