Can’t speak for everyone but in the case of my family specifically the answer is Jerry Falwell.

I actually love scanning QR codes including for restaurant menus. This is not a joke. Never heard a good argument against QR codes if I’m being dead serious.

Magic Pixel Weekly #146

Magic Pixel is coming to you with a fresh new schedule, and we've got something extra special planned for the second and fourth Tuesday of each month: French Bread nights. Join us for #MBTL and #UNI2, with a little #TEKKEN8 in the middle to balance things out!

it’s worth reading

is there a mrs. fpga

RIP Athanasius you would have loved tier lists of dogshit takes about Jesus

between this and the Melito homily idk man these ancient fathers are just unmatched in any era

“I once breathed life into you in the beginning; see on my face the spit I received in order to restore life to you.”

ah geez

How would I explain to my non-Christian friends why they should believe in Jesus or go to church? “Do this to understand why we should support gender equality and help those in poverty” To which they would rightly say “Yeah no shit, I’m already doing that and I sleep in on Sundays”

THIS. The moralistic therapeutic deism critique applies even when the morals are progressive and the deity is inclusive. I’d go so far as to say that if your faith is indistinguishable from 21st-century liberalism, you’re better off discarding the entire religious apparatus.

Pay Them No Mind Three years ago I made the active decision to not cater to straight and cis people in my ministry. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

eating my mixed grain bran cereal at this time 🫡

Reminds me of over-controlling parental figures constantly asking “why are you wearing that, why did you cut your hair like that, why are you going there, I don’t necessarily think it’s bad I just want to know why.” Undercurrent of invasive and disrespectful behavior IMO

I personally would like other cis people to stop talking like there has to be some scientific explanation for why a given person is trans. How about this: there’s nothing wrong with it so anyone can reach that conclusion for themselves for any reason and they don’t have to justify it to you

Worth pointing out on this Good Friday that the glory of Jesus at Golgotha has nothing in common with the imagined glory of patriarchal authoritarians because the Triune God has nothing in common with fascism. Y’all take it easy out there today ✝️

everybody wants to decide with equity for the oppressed of the earth and denounce Sodom's prosperous ease but nobody wants to see the Lord sitting on his throne in the year King Uzziah died or view the heavens opening among the exiles at the River Chebar

I fear that the larger culture hears “fundamentalist Christian” and thinks of the white-haired bible thumper in the rural chapel and not the clean-cut young fascist father at the downtown coffee shop, who must be dealt with differently.

We also need a new term for specifically this genre of religion that is more specific than “evangelical”, “fundamentalist”, etc. This weird SBC adjacent nationalist theobro+lifestyle mom combo is its own distinct thing from the Moral Majority KJV-onlyist fundies of the previous generation.

many are saying Woke 2 depends on this

oh wow, looks good. The Zondervan edition has some font tracking issues that I’ve found a bit distracting

how would you compare it to the vegetarian reuben on the secret menu of my neighborhood bar

FGC, LGBT rights, and Christianity: the venn diagram of my passions

tbf the moon is way up there

I was planning on running a grassroots fundraiser for a local org in my red state that provides transitional housing to LGBT youth; this thread has got me reconsidering. I would love to hear from more folks’ perspectives

very interested in learning more about point 2 as a member of my church’s relevant committee

Source: I went to a baptist college in this region of the country in the early 2010s and watched it happen

I actually think about this fairly often, and I believe it is because the hipster/instagram/VSCO aesthetic hit white midwest+southern young people so hard, who then became the core of the current christian nationalist insurgence represented by this type of visual language.
