Legalizing gambling in Texas would be a massive betrayal - a war on the poor and the desperate to protect the rich from taxes and line the pockets of reactionary casino magnates

Being raised Oneness Pentecostal, this legitimately did contribute to my being convinced that the doctrine of the Trinity was a testament to revealed truth rather than a product of human philosophy as I had been taught.

[Crabcake 🕊️ @FakeGirondin]

@intentionalisms the best evidence of christanity is nobody making up a religion in their right mind would include such an insanely convoluted concept as the trinity while also claiming to be monotheistic

@EYakoby I guess I missed what you're talking about.

[Chrysostomunist @chrysostomunist]

@JesusIsLord0405 Perhaps not about the Eucharist specifically but Palamas does say she is "god after God" and that she mediates all graces. So what line exactly is being crossed here?

[Chrysostomunist @chrysostomunist]

@blessedmikko I think this is wrong and the Church made the right call in refusing Nikephoros Phokas's request to identify soldiers slain in battle as martyrs.

Twin Peaks is Shakespearean in the sense that one of the most heart-rending things you’ve ever seen will be immediately followed by two idiots bumbling around

@mattyglesias State income tax is a non-starter in Texas. She's wisely picking her battles.

Millennials really made burned CDs for people as an act of love. Handwritten track list, sharpie decorations, songs illegally downloaded from somewhere questionable. That was INTIMACY.

@DrDPHarry Orthodox here. This is wrong. There is no significant difference.

@TexasYRs This is really pathetic.

@AuntyMatter @Sophiologist_ I guess Jesus was wrong then.

The post-(or rather anti-)Christian right makes itself more explicit by the day.

It’s not like Trump is any more hateful than you or Douthat, he just really hates being cornered into taking the socially approved moral stance by sanctimonious prigs. And you guys are just more comfortable sublimating your pettiness and hatred into nuanced talking points and polite lines of questioning. This of all things is one of his best qualities that others clearly resent in him because they wish they had it too.

[Chrysostomunist @chrysostomunist]

@cwacycle @realLizUSA You know Ross Douthat is conservative right?

[Chrysostomunist @chrysostomunist]

The 'moderation' is almost entirely on social issues and border security, which is the smart move.

[Keith Orejel @keithdorejel]

Pundits can apply the “moderate” label to however they want but across the Democratic spectrum it is clear that populist rhetoric attacking economic inequality and corporate power has won. There are almost no Dems spouting neoliberal market friendly solutions.

@DumpTrump_45 "Biggest Texas Hater" says it all. If you don't know who Ernest Bailes is and why Gina picking him is significant in Texas you should just keep your thoughts to yourself.

[Chrysostomunist @chrysostomunist]

@SnackPr0tein Their approach is the logical application of the Bernie Sanders model in a Texas context and they are smart to take it.

@PageauJonathan The fact that world is fallen means that Christian practice will have a revolutionary character until the final fulfillment of Christ's apokatastasis.
