"Fr. Dove, I'd attend a UEC parish if there were one near me, but there isn't. In fact, there isn't anything resembling Protestant Catholicity anywhere for a hundred miles! Woe is me!"
Brothers, the solution is simple: if a parish thou lackest, then a parish thou must plant!

@lsanger Same bro.

Everything on Christian X falls into one of these categories.

@PresbyXian Same.

@ElonsonBack Modernity ruined everything.

@orangeflavored_ I agree. That is my hole to crawl in.

@Meadein95 Not a Christian Nation, whatever else it may have been.

[Christian L. Macías Dove ⳩ @RevDove]

Christian Nationalism is fundamentally incompatible with the modern state. Any call for a Christian Nation without a concurrent call to abolish the state and install a Christian Prince & Established Church is nothing but empty posturing and a dog whistle for unsavory prejudices.

@Xtopher_Uzo "Protestants"
Yet exclusively describes Post-Revivalist 20th Century American Evangelicalism.

@Rog973521 I composed this with a mind to cover all the bases because of these types of quips.

@JohnHMcCallum1 It isn't complicated. The form/system of governance we currently operate under is fundamentally antithetical to the Christian religion. It cannot be redeemed. The modern state cannot be "Christian" at all, and therefore cannot be a means of organizing a Christian Nation.

@JohnHMcCallum1 Just because it was architected by Christian men doesn't make it compatible with Christian civil theology. The form of government in the USA is rooted in Enlightenment modernity and religious pluralism. It is fundamentally incompatible with true Christian governance.

There is such great evil at work among the sphere of e-Christian nfluencers.

@EthelflaedAegis Many do adapt well, but it is a function of humility and the causal process of the departure from baptist/evangelical into a more catholic tradition. For those highly visible online (the terminally online ones) this typically applies.

Ex-Baptists: the degree to which your ecclesial trauma completely dominates your theology, thinking, aesthetics, & behavior makes you stick out like a sore thumb. You may have been taken out from the Baptists, but the Baptist hasn't been taken out of you.

@KCPayTreeIt It is notable that the older folks give lower ratings than the younger folks. I would imagine it demonstrates the difference in severity of genuine racism and vitriol they have have encountered in their lifetimes.

@eval_hub It isn't the new child they are afraid of.

"You're arrogant."

Perhaps you shall succeed in teaching me humility—it is a virtue I have never really mastered. 🏔️

@AnonClaaaa What are you talking about? Who is "you" here? I didn't kiss my wife until a month before our wedding. 🤣

[Christian L. Macías Dove ⳩ @RevDove]

"And when thou kissest, thou shalt neither kiss thy girlfriend, nor thy fiance, nor thy sidepiece, nor the harlot that is within thy midst. Thou shall neither kiss them nor embrace them—for such leads unto death. Thou shalt kiss thy homies alone, as pleasing unto the LORD."

Some measure of mental illness is a fundamental prerequisite to the office of clergymen, but the acceptable upper limit of that mental illness seems to be getting more flexible all the time.
