Public morality and faith might be related, but they are not the same bc morality has no category for suffering in obedience; you must leap into the void of absurdity, and once you do, you find meaning that exceeds circumstance; you find Him.

One thing I really long to achieve in my life is to be so secure in my identity in Christ, so assured of His goodness and providence, that I am free to be generous to a wide range of opinions with which I disagree and no longer get hooked into arguments.

Correction: it's 10pm, thank God, but the principle is still problematic.

This is literally heroic. Remember that fascism doesn't announce itself, it erodes at your sense of liberty until by the time we see what's happening in plain daylight it's too late. Stand strong, last time I checked this is America and we have rights, incl. medical freedom.

There is one side of the political isle that equates one's political beliefs and personal morality. Of course these are connected, but this assumption leads to oversimplification and a host of other social issues.

Dear Twitter,
I haven't made my profile private yet bc I like meeting interesting ppl. If you can invent a way to keep bad-faith actors out while keeping the cool ppl in, I'd be forever grateful. Or maybe I'll just go to Parler. Yep, maybe that, never mind.
Sincerely,
JDS

That white supremacy as a concept fails to account for how the power dynamics of ethnocentrism continually operate independently from those of race as it had been recently constructed should be at least one red flag to anyone who considers themself "liberal" in the classic sense.

Technological bypassing: refusing to engage with an idea you dislike by applying a term that places it into a broad category of ideas already deemed "unacceptable."

Xians: in terms of "self-apologetics" (what u preach to urself), the most effective strategy is simply not to go on defense. God has revealed himself abundantly; why must the burden of proof always lie on His/our side? Offense means seek to understand more of His beauty & reason.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people describe Shakespeare's plays as written in "Old English." In other news, woman wastes emotional energy on erudite, inconsequential snobbery.

A well-placed swear is like a maraschino cherry: a whole bowl of them is gross, you can technically have a sundae without one, but the right one in the right place really completes the whole fuckin thing.
