Sjekk gjerne ut den nye aktualitetspodkasten Jammen! Om religion og politikk og sånn.
Denne uka hadde vi redaktørmøte med Vebjørn Selbekk og Bjørn Bore. Og et liten sak om unge menns økende tro på Gud og spøkelser

For en fest det er å se golf på Max igjen med @henrikbjornstad og @MariusThorp etter en helg på Viagolf forrige helg.

@Sverre_Holm Nettopp! Gagarinsitatet blir brukt av Haavik

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

Min kritiske anmeldelse av Thor Haavik sin bok, handler kanskje mer om en kynisk bokbransje enn hans evner som forfatter. Ny SubStack: https://t.co/HNmNpEzzGI

It's impossible to overstate the insane hubris required to believe that God is intervening in human history to protect the bombing runs you order.

Sier opp generalen for feltprestene, også.

[Our Own Nation @OurOwnNation]

Pete Hegseth fired the Army chief of chaplains, the first time this has ever happened. Hegseth wants ALL religious exemptions to be denied. Hegseth demanded all Conscientious objector and religious exemption packets denied and the general said no.

I believe now more than ever that America is going to invade Iran and was getting far too many “conscientious objectors” who do not want to die in a pointless and unpopular war fought for Israel.

Hegseth has fired or removed a dozen generals or admirals now. He fired Gen. Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff and on the same day, he removed Army Maj. Gen. William Green, who had served in that post since 2023.

This is going to be a disaster.

Det er så mye spinnvilt nå.
Tenker @joelsh traff bra med timingen på sin nye bok, Makten och det heliga.
Når kommer den på norsk, Joel?

Franklin Graham: "Let us pray… Father, you tell us in the Book of Esther that the Persians—the Iranians—were wanting to kill every Jew…and do it all in one day…"

"Today, the Iranians—the wicked regime of this govt—wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire, but you have raised up Pres. Trump."

🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “We are so close to these models reaching the level of human intelligence, and yet there doesn't seem to be a wider recognition in society of what's about to happen … There hasn't been a public awareness of the risks.”

Siden jeg delte Hegseth sin bønn i går. Her er fra pavens preken i dag.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

The Anxious Generation was published two years ago today, in a very different world. Back then, the most common objection I got was resignation: "The train has left the station." "You can't put toothpaste back in the tube." "It's how the kids connect today."

Today, the world looks very different. It turns out that if our kids were all on a train and we learned it was heading toward a collapsed bridge, we'd find a way to stop it and bring them safely back to the station. That’s what’s happening now.

After the historic verdicts in Los Angeles and New Mexico, today is a great day to reflect on the capacity of people in democratic societies to take action, even when opposing some of the most powerful corporations in history. We're getting access to the courts. We're getting phone-free schools. We're seeing whole neighborhoods letting kids out to play, unsupervised, which is what we older folk all remember as the best part of childhood.

So I want to recognize:

--The mothers (and, right behind them, fathers) who rose up by the millions and powered the movement.

--The farsighted governors and legislators in red states and blue states who have been innovating on policy solutions.

--The leaders of a dozen of nations, who are raising the age to 16 for opening social media accounts (with a special shoutout to Australia, for going first).

--The teachers and school administrators who had their classrooms disrupted for 15 years, and who are now eager to think through new solutions as screens have taken over and obstructed learning.

--The grassroots organizations who have been dedicating their efforts to advocate for all of the above in their local communities.

--The millions of members of Gen Z who have been rising up, demanding agency over how they spend their lives in the digital era, and finding better ways to connect in real life.

And one final group: the survivor parents--the ones you saw in those pictures of people embracing on the front steps of the LA courthouse. I have met many over the years. I am in awe of their courage and tenacity, their willingness to tell their stories of loss, over and over again, to different audiences, in the hope that no other parent would have to endure what they have endured. At long last, juries and legislatures are hearing you, and are acting.

Together, we are calling the train back to the station. Together, we are rolling back the phone based childhood and reclaiming life in the real world.

The work continues. If you’re not already involved, join us: https://t.co/HdJDTKOQ3T

Dette er så sinnsykt

[Michael Tracey @mtracey]

Pete Hegseth, at today's Christian Prayer & Worship Service at the Pentagon, prays for Almighty God to "pour out your wrath" and "break the teeth of the ungodly." He begs the Almighty to sanction "overwhelming violence" against "those who deserve no mercy"

In the fight against Cover-up Culture and fraudulent ministry the only weapon I have is to turn on the lights.

Eph 5:11

After that the only thing left to bring accountability and change is the consciences of normal, brave people (mostly non-leaders).

Donald Trump flirtar med sina evangelikala och karismatiska stödtrupper: I går delade han "The Kim Clement Prophecy" från 2007 på Truth Social

Det är en profetia om hur Trump tar makten, fylls av den helige Ande, står upp för USA och kontrollerar media

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii Sorry, but it is not an opinion-piece. They interviewed several churchleaders. Maybe they are all enemies of the truth?

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

Hey
@MikeWingerii You are being used by Torben Sondegaard and his friends as proof that his story is legit. This is a norwegian newspaper today: "[he] helped the Christian influencer Mike Winger expose Christian leaders in the US and believes this inspires confidence."

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii They really didn't, there is no real evidence and it will be clear soon enough.
Now I'm finished here. Thanks

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii A conservative christian Newspaper: Danish church leaders on Søndergaard’s asylum application: – Absurd
In Denmark, free-church leaders are shaking their heads at Torben Søndergaard’s description of the situation for evangelical Christians.
“Denmark is not a banana republic,”

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii Norwegian newspaper last week: “He claims that Søndergaard helped the Christian influencer @MikeWingerii expose Christian leaders in the United States, and he believes this builds trust.”

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii Torben and followers are using this apperance as a legitimation of Torbens story, that he "was in jail beacuse of lies" and that "his minstry was tried stolen from him", which is not true. Mike did nothing wrong, but Torben is using it.

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii I have really not said anything negative about the Koko-episode in it self, and it was really good that Torben helped expose him. But in the episode, not related to Koko, Torben where repeated untruths about his own story.

[Erik Andreassen @eandreassen]

@Anabenbell @NewlOdah @MikeWingerii It is in the video-reportage in the linked newsarticle. Thy said "it was very intrusive". 00.30 sec.
As to the baptism, it gives context to the controversies.
