Evangelicals: Kids are too young to decide about their own sexuality.

Also them: Kayleigh just made a profession of faith at 4 years old! We’re so happy! 🎉

@ingersoll_bob It is. I’ve been taking hiatus from writing because I started a new job that took about 8 months of intensive traveling and training. It’s finally done, and I hope to pick it up again before long. I definitely want to finish that series for sure.

@ingersoll_bob Thank you. Xitter hasn’t impressed me of late. But mostly I’m starting a new job that’s kept my social media presence to a minimum. I’m still here though, I promise 😁 And I’ll likely have a lot to say once I get going again

If the Apostle Paul were a bit older, he wouldn’t have to “buffet his body” to punish himself for being human. All he’d have to do is eat spicy food, and that would pretty much do it.

@adanie5 These “last days” sure have been going on for a loooong time

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@RogueArtemis Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one. It was like the internet before there was an internet

@BradTheAuthor @adanie5 “One function of a wife” is one of the cringier things I’ve seen in a sentence now

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@adanie5 @BradTheAuthor I still say that evangelicalism is really fundamentalism with an updated haircut. Peel back the marketing layer and the theology is still wrapped around patriarchy. They still believe a woman is for making and raising babies

@freethink901 Update: Having technical difficulties with the site. Hoping to get them resolved before too late in the day. Either way, it looks like I’ve got some catching up to do 😬

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@freethink901 Funny you should mention it. I was just thinking about doing that

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@ErinLouis666 That’s gotta chafe a little

@JoelRenkema @sewistwrites Follow-up: Historians can find no evidence that Hebrews were ever in Egypt at all. They appear to have emerged gradually in Canaan around the time the Bible stories claim they invaded it

@Rennythecat_ Same

@godless_mom My favorite is when they name a specific sin because they’re only telling on themselves. What they don’t understand is that when we screw up, we don’t get to pretend it’s erased by magic.

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@sarahmccammon I’ve been on the other end of that situation, so I’m curious to hear what works. My gut says if exhaustion is the root cause, then more rest has to come in somewhere in the day/week before it gets any easier. I’m sure if you explain that to the children they’ll understand 😆

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@GodlessLiz I wrote a whole article about this with a list of the top 25 lies we were told, but Patheos deleted it. I should go resurrect that one for OnlySky. It'll be interesting to see if I still agree with all of it 😆

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@is4Christianity @SecularOutpost And yet the Bible portrays a deity who constantly intervenes. So I fail to see the value in a Christian positing deism as a workaround.

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

@funnyhorse @GodlessLiz Speak for yourself. Those were delicious 😁

[Neil Carter @godlessindixie]

People at work probably think I’m boring, but they don’t know. When I’m by myself I’m hilarious.
