My enduring hope:

The digital archeologists of the 23rd century stumble across my 20 or 30 tweets about how terrible Jim is (The Office), which causes them to excavate that show and watch through my Jim-hating eyes, and Jim gets written up in a scholarly journal as an asshole.

Christian Twitter seems to consist of quasi-believers (who disregard the Bible when it clashes with their social conscience) and theobros (who may hold some right theology but it hasn’t made it past their heads and might as well be bad theology).

Where is truth and love?

[stephen altrogge @stephenaltrogge]

Tim Keller: Nothing. Not a single word. Complete silence.

Theobros: AKSHUALLLLY

A day will come

When my kids appreciate how funny their dad is.

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@mattgilbert1 Nobody has ever come close to his authenticity and love for life.

[Raymond Chang @tweetraychang]

Who would’ve thought that 2 years ago today, we would see people carrying Christian symbols to take over the US Capitol in the name of “conservatism”?

January 6th was a harrowing nightmare.

May the name of Jesus never get invoked like this again.

Avoid a sugar-coated gospel. Seek the gospel that rips up, wounds and even kills, for that's the gospel that makes alive again.

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@DeanOfMortgages Bald Meredith approves.

[Justin Giboney @JustinEGiboney]

Being conservative or progressive on every single issue is intellectually lazy & unfaithful. Critique and push back on these flawed ideologies.

Make conservatism sympathize & pursue racial justice.

Make progressivism acknowledge absolute truth & the sanctity of life. #AND2020

@mattgilbert1 But how about that Succop, though.

@BethMooreLPM @MatthewEPierce This relationship is one of the only reasons I’m still on Twitter.

[Justin Giboney @JustinEGiboney]

Has politics become your religion? Signs your political affiliation is religious in nature:

-You’re led by politicians and commentators more than pastors

-Your values match your party’s platform

-You vs. your opponents = good vs. evil

-An election victory feels like a revival

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@boice_marshall @ndrewwhitehead @TIME I don’t think this is true. The Christian pledge is separate from the Pledge of Allegiance, a separate flag even. In many Christian schools, both are recited.

For context, I don’t recite either bc I think they’re icky in their own ways, but they are separate things.

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@DeanOfMortgages @JBsTwoCents You don’t have to criticize him for his moral failings and ass-hattery.

I will.

Charles Miner is the only one who ever sees Jim clearly for who he is. I think that’s why Jim commits fraud and works illicit vengeance for the bankrupt startup his wife impulsively joined.

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@thejeremybjones @cassmannes Amazing. This is all pretty badass.

Sorry, that’s a very technical, academic term.

What I mean is your discovery of these deep(er) roots will only strengthen the already-strong sense of place in your writing.

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

Well #WritingCommunity

For the first time ever, I’ve broken through the 30k mark.

How are you doing?

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@JBsTwoCents Sorry to be difficult. It’s just - I think a lot of people are walking around with dirty bums and that is a tad concerning 🤷🏼‍♂️

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@JBsTwoCents Ok.Can I nuance this AND make it more crass at the same time.Yes.

It depends on texture of poo. The wetter/looser, the more crucial the initial downward wipe.After a few of those, gotta finish with a couple upward AND a wet wipe.

This is the way.

Avidly following this convo

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@MatthewEPierce You’re just describing Driscoll.

[J. Carl White @jcarlwrite]

@matthew_podszus Almost like the pressure that the Pharisees exerted on the average Jew, which Jesus roundly criticized.
