Writing about faith, culture, and the increasingly difficult task of loving your neighbor online. Often distracted by the New York Yankees & Indiana Hoosiers.

If you’re trying to understand where I’m coming from, start here.

“I Didn’t Leave My Faith.”

The story of how questioning some of my assumptions didn’t destroy my faith—it deepened it.

@HQNewsNow It was Miami that lost, not Florida.

One would think that if Mitch was able to have multiple 20 minute phone calls he would be able to make some sort of public announcement.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Every Republican who says they’ve “spoken” to Mitch McConnell claims to have had a suspiciously identical 20-minute call covering Iran, Ukraine, Maine, and Senate history. https://t.co/UlGJ55mHjJ

Color me skeptical that a person with this as her profile was attending a church that would hire a liberal female pastor with a child that is a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

She has more Greg Locke vibes.

[AppPatriotgirl 🇺🇸 @goneers]

Welp. I'm very sorry to say that the church I've been a member of for 36 years has chosen a new pastor. A woman (that's not the problem) who is a No Kings protester and has a trans kid.
I'm out.

Never adjust your narrative, just keep moving the goal posts. Heads they win, tails you lose.

[The🐰FOO @PolitiBunny]

The key word here is ‘reported’.

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

If only there was a manager whose job it was to lead the team. They should try getting one of those.

@Hummingbirder @atrupar Imagine defending billionaires. I could not fathom such a pathetic existence.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

It’s hilarious watching every ‘conservative’ influencer on this website pretend like everything just changed.

Meanwhile, all that happened is something stayed the same.

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

If you told me Dave wrote a book & I had a thousand guesses to try and predict the title & the cover photo. I would have said I only need one. And I would have been correct.

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here & say that the Barstool vote is not what won the election for Mamdami. Knock yourself out, Dave. Spend all that money you are always bragging about.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Watters: You might run against Mamdani?

Portnoy: I would love to run against—if I was going to run, it would be here. Can I win here? I have no idea.

I’ve done a lot of good in NYC, whether it was the Barstool Fund or pizza places, so it wasn’t for show. I’ve had a real job. I’ve done real things, unlike these clown politicians who have never had a job and have never been in the real world for a day

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

Imagine going onto to TV looking like that and calling someone else a clown.

Which party gets the votes from everyone who still proudly displays the confederate flag? Seems more relevant.

@shadow777555 @TheTNHoller @AOC Say you are a republican masquerading on twitter as a liberal without actually saying it.

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

@cerberussenior @PeteButtigieg Good lord it must suck being this much of an awful person.

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

There are 8 Billion on this planet. Roughly 3 Billion of them are Christian. Yet members of that minority will call things like this justified because he doesn’t share their exact beliefs.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

@1SweetDadBod @James88Jim27340 @PeteButtigieg I’m gonna guess just about anyone knows what’s Christian more than you do.

Also, I am cackling at someone who chose the Twitter handle 1SweetDadBod calling someone else a narcissist.

[Mike Idle @mikeidle]

@ExposingClay “Men are just lonely” No. They’ll just do anything for money. As Dave & Clay have shown.
