I spend my time trying to understand evolution, consciousness, probability, why people are religious, and how to explain the kinds of music I like. (enby/5w4)

. @markrobinsonNC and @RonDeSantisFL and @GregAbbott_TX are just the George Wallace's of our time. I'm pretty sure Jesus is on the side of trans folks and drag queens. A pretty straightforward reading of the Gospels convinces me of that. (2/3)

@mattnightingale @elonmusk Come over to Threads! It's really nice there! I know you have a significant following here, and you stay here to be available for closeted LGBTQ+ Christians, but I'd love to see you post more on Threads and build a following there. I hate opening this app.

There is no version of Jesus that would say:

“Now that you’ve explained it, I’m ok with this war.”

“Forget what I already said, do take revenge.”

“You’re right, the whole ‘forgive 70x7’ is unrealistic.”

“Do unto others, whatever you want.”

“He who lives by the sword… wins.”

@davidwrobertson @masonmennenga @peterben_mn He told the man to sell everything he had and give it to the poor and then follow me. He was pretty unequivocal about that.

@mattxiv One of the few reasons I stay on here and don't switch completely to Threads is because of the shade you throw on the haters. What will you do with no haters?

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
Donald trump is not being “indicted for you.”
He‘s never done a thing for you.
Here’s what he promised you:
He said he would lower drug prices.
He didn’t.
He said he’d protect people with pre-existing conditions.
He didn’t.
He said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and replace it with something “beautiful.”
He didn’t.
He promised to eliminate the federal deficit.
He didn’t.
As a matter of fact, he increased it by almost $7.8 trillion.
He promised an infrastructure bill was coming in “2 weeks”.
It never came.
He promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
He didn’t and they didn’t.
He promised his tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations would pay for themselves.
They won’t.
In fact - they added $2 trillion to our national debt.
He promised to end the opioid crisis, ‘bring back coal’, protect steel jobs, increase wages, stop factories from moving overseas, enact term limits, show his taxes & that Hillary Clinton would be “locked up”.
He didn’t & she’s isn’t.
He said he would make America great and put America first.
He let a pandemic ravage the country unabated and kept our national security secrets in his bathroom.
And here’s what he did:
He used YOUR money to pay-off a porn star, mocked a disabled reporter, attacked a POW, bragged about sexual assault, got impeached (twice), lost re-election, plotted a coup, incited an insurrection, and stole highly classified documents he knew he wasn’t allowed to show anyone, but did.
So now he has found himself indicted on 34 state felony counts & 37 federal ones, all while still facing many more.
He didn’t do any of that “for you”.
He’s an incurious, incompetent imbecile, who is as corrupt and self-obsessed as he is dumb.
And he’s really, really dumb.
He’s a sociopathic traitor who’s done nothing for you.
Nothing.
He’s being indicted because of HIS actions.
His selfishness.
His disregard for the law and for the safety of our citizens.
Because the truth is, that aside from how much money you’ll send him to pay his many, many lawyers, that he doesn’t give a f*ck about you.
He doesn’t do anything for anyone but himself.
And getting indicted is 100% about him. Not you.

Believe me.

The #USSupremeCourt demonstrated once again this week that it has exceeded its Constitutional mandate and is no longer a legitimate court. It's just a tool of the @GOP to push its undemocratic agenda on the American people.

@preston_shipp I suspect they thought they were being "edgy" but liberals just wrote them off as cranks and then they got embraced by the racist right.

[Reece B-D (They/Them) 🏳️‍🌈 @rickdilling]

@preston_shipp My cynical take is that he and Peter Boghossian were riding the coattails of the far more famous "New Atheists" until that dried up. Then they needed to find something new to write about and picked something that pissed off liberals and appealed to white supremacists.

@preston_shipp @RichardRohrOFM What book is that from?

[Reece B-D (They/Them) 🏳️‍🌈 @rickdilling]

@preston_shipp This is why I refuse to acknowledge Evangelicalism as a way of following Jesus. I don't think he would acknowledge it either.

[Reece B-D (They/Them) 🏳️‍🌈 @rickdilling]

@preston_shipp That's why I don't.

"There was something formless and perfect
before the universe was born.
It is serene. Empty.
Solitary. Unchanging.
Infinite. Eternally present.
It is the Mother of the universe.
For lack of a better name,
I call it the Tao."

This is the closest I come to theology.

@preston_shipp There's a really old school of thought in China that seems to have said the same thing a long time ago.

I just learned today that @ProcterGamble is an ongoing sponsor of the war of Russian aggression against Ukraine. @ProcterGamble has a long history of troublesome activity, mostly involving intentional animal cruelty. (1/2)

Please join me in boycotting @ProcterGamble by not buying or using their products, and tweeting to let them know you are joining the boycott until they stop sponsoring the war. (2/2) https://t.co/zR1jtD4src

@emilyjoypoetry I think this is what happened to the Evangelicals. The "god" they now worship is an omnipotent Fiend, and it has made them fiendish in its image.
