Yeah a lot of people want to act like that time never happened. They want to just “move forward and not talk about it.” But the truth is it’s the time when a lot those in the medical field turned very evil, and many ministers turned coward. We all found out they weren’t the saints we thought they were or the heroes of history they thought they were. They were tested and found wanting. I will not forget.

@megbasham Because people have convinced them that their own insecurities and dysfunction only exist because we don’t validate them. If we would just all validate them then they would stop feeling incomplete and guilty………

When people demand to have a witch hunt for a “systemic crisis”, rather than just pursuing justice by the book in the handling of individual cases, they are most often simply wanting something besides justice. Often it’s presumed guilt where innocent people are sacrificed for a movement’s momentum

I consider myself more of a CS Lewis style “Mere Christian”. I try to keep up with the general Protestant world and currently attend an Assemblies of God church, but church leadership stuff is not my strong suit. In these situations I look at it like a soldier. The opinions I value most are those on the ground. Not those at the top of bureaucracy. I appreciate your insight Mrs Basham

@megbasham Here me out…, @elonmusk , Cars with espresso machines. Especially once they are self driving

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@megbasham @ThigpenTiffany But that’s inconvenient Mrs Basham. The truth would get in the way of the movement and virtue signaling

Christians have not recently been adept political thinkers. So, 2 things on this…

1) We should respect Mormons enough to be honest with them that, by their own self-identification, they are “not creedal Christians” (what Mormons THEMSELVES will say, bc they understand they disagree with many/most of the core doctrines of Christianity that are expressed in the earliest creeds)

2) Christians need to develop the ability to understand there are two overlapping but distinct realms: the church and the state (Jesus, 1 Peter, Augustine)

Therefore, there will be some people that are on a DIFFERENT TEAM spiritually (not Christians), but on the SAME TEAM culturally (aligned in almost all political / cultural goals).

If you don’t understand this, you will oppose people you should befriend in the political/cultural realm, and you will befriend people you should differentiate from in the church/spiritual realm.

@howertonjosh This! Now please everyone have the courage to apply this to Israel as well. I am not obligated to be against Israel just because they aren’t Christian. I reject your Jewish hatred

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@prageru Ah yes, the divider-and-chief, the campion of the race war profiteers, the guy everyone said was Christ like when he spat on Christian values but just said it with a nice tone….🤢🤮

@HerrWiess @EYakoby Did I?

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@megbasham The left has no moral authority at all. No one needs ever feel guilty for anything they say. And their efforts are not “well meaning”. They are just wrong and we should say so

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@TheBarefootSage @Riley_Gaines_ Thanks for admitting you have no morality and confirming that I don’t need to give anything you say any weight at all

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@Ayaan @DelphineChui @RestoringWest It is also a religion

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@MattWalshShow You mean accusations of racism don’t justify anything and everything when people get tired of it?!

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@libsoftiktok @Adams12 Home school your children. It is worth the inconvenience. I promise you

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@ksorbs They are only embarrassed by virtue signals, not actual suffering

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@megbasham It’s pretty ridiculous. At this point they are not policing our emotion or judgement, they have reached a level of policing God’s judgement and perspective. They have passed our input all together on scripture and are simply reducing scripture

[Pragmatic Individualist @pragindividual]

@megbasham They past that point a while ago
