@revhannahking@mbird12 It’s no coincidence that the vilest comments are from anonymous accounts. They spew their self-righteous vitriol behind a screen without revealing their identities because they’re deeply fearful and know their words are shameful. They’re cowards
@jenniferwilkin You’re a female who knows the Bible and speaks with authority and can run circles around these clowns. Their cognitive dissonance can’t handle those categories, keep on keepin’ on and ignore the haters
@KSPrior@anghunt26 He has mastered the art of taking the latest right wing shibboleth and claiming it’s “biblical Christianity.” I place him firmly in the “talking head” category, and he climbs the ranks in that category every year.
@pastordmack An exchange like this is so rare here I’d like to commend both of you for displaying godly character and pastor McKissic for showing humility
@EWErickson We’ve had our kids in public schools, the oldest on year 7 now, and we couldn’t be happier. Not only has it been a good education but it’s allowed us to meet other families, invite them to church, and sparked conversation and action surrounding classmates with less privilege
@M_Y_Emerson 2 things not mentioned I think are bigger factors:
1. A feeling of rootedness a historic tradition provides making one feel like they’re a part of something ancient
2. Many baptists have been co-opted by a political party and it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of others
@Svigel (A lecture I was not convinced by and subsequently wrote an essay taking an amillennial, no tribulation, no rapture position which I still hold to because I prefer to believe in doctrine the church has always ascribed to & the rapture ain’t it - sorry not sorry 😉)
@Svigel Folks I interact with who know I graduated from DTS are always so astonished when I tell them I had zero professors and zero classmates in my circles who believed in or taught along the lines of “Left Behind” eschatology and the rapture basically was one lecture in one course
@ryanburge I’m sorry people added to your pain. Arrogance is in large supply. The nerve of that one dude to offer an unpaid associate position nearly set me off. And you’re right, sometimes churches just need to die, and that’s okay. Blessings as you continue your journey in this new normal
@DerwinLGray It’s hard for me to believe most Americans would be on board with tax breaks to the upper class and cuts to programs for the poor. Tax breaks for the middle class makes way more sense
@ClowESPN He could battle it out and try to earn the starting position? And enjoy a payday without the grind and toll on the body if he loses. He’s the winner here imo
@ClayTravis I have a hard time thinking any fans will feel sorry for him. Horrible move by him and his reps. Just an awful look. Ball out one more year and he gets his bag
