@thescottbarber I’m quietly amused that behind a chyron of him slamming “Democrats priorities,” he is prioritizing opining that most people don’t know that the word “dumb” ends in b.
Can’t make this stuff up.
@basedtradboy@dougwilsonsays I mean, *sin* is normal human behavior, but I’mma guess we’re not gonna hand-wave that away just because it’s “normal.” Lotsa “normal” stuff that doesn’t qualify as leadership-ready out there. Still unacceptable.
@alisa_childers Great that we were offered such an unimpeachable representation of family values as Kid Rock as an alternative, yeah? Assuming he didn't actually sing the sexually explicit songs in his portfolio? So he knows how to read the room. But that's not family values. And you know it.
The silence about wrongdoing in our religious institutions can be rationalized and affirmed as a desire to protect the name of God. Such harmful rhetoric from leadership fosters interior silence in the victims and in the followers.
Thing is, God has used the things that drive me the craziest to drive me to him. Never had a season free of serious need. Some challenges he’s kept utterly unrelenting. Isn’t that the way of it? We want Jesus to be our chief desire but we don’t want what he uses to accomplish it.
@MikeCosper@JoelWBerry@megbasham I'm wondering if there is a "sunk cost" fallacy at work in that mentality? It takes courage to step away from alliances and narratives we have invested so much in.
I'm always attracted to the stories of those who speak the truth to their own cost.
@ronnylee31@ZachWLambert Both things happened: clueless people wandered around gaping and insurrectionists tried to overthrow the government. The clueless got community service and fines. The insurrectionists got harsher sentencing.
