  6. RE: mstdn.party/@mcspocky/11701126

    FYI this is a sin if you’re a #catholic.

    i get one of the big things about Vatican II is to pivot away from talking damnation, but this is 100% against the #Beatitudes; and the reason Papa Kiko and Pope Bob have made it very clear LGBTQI are god’s children too.

    also: this #cruelty is so typical of USA #evangelicalism (aka #christofascism) that bears reminding, most USA evangelical groups refuse to join the communion of ecumenism proposed by the RCC that rejects antisemitism, homophobia, etc

    I once told a friend (about 8 years ago) that I'd become one of those wizened old men that would walk into megachurches muttering incomprehensible phrases, urinate on the carpet, and leave. (Channeling Diogenes against #Evangelicalism)

    Now I fear I may become the kind that lobs molotovs against data centers. 🤣

  17. A quotation from Heinlein

    There is a latent deep strain of religious fanaticism in this, our culture; it is rooted in our history and it has broken out many times in the past. It is with us now; there has been a sharp rise in strongly evangelical sects in this country in recent years, some of which hold beliefs theocratic in the extreme, anti-intellectual, anti-scientific, and anti-libertarian.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Essay (1952-10), “Concerning Stories Never Written,” Revolt in 2100, Postscript (1953)

  21. Blurred Lines: Trump’s AI Imagery and the Evangelical Crisis of Identity – Franklin Graham

    by Winston Wendell A Cultural Commentary - April 16, 2026 The recent controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s AI-generated social media posts—depicting him in messianic imagery—has unveiled a disturbing reality within the American evangelical movement. When Trump shared an image suggestive of Christ, he wasn't just committing a lapse in judgment; he was engaging in a form of narcissism that borders on blasphemy. However, more alarming than the post itself is the blatant toadyism […]

  26. I suppose if you were a literal (nonhuman) ape who did stupid things with their brain, I *might* have forgiven you for thinking that that Obama AI video was hilarious. Except that I know no Mastodon user who is actually a stupid ape. At least I hope the apes aren't overrunning Mastodon, or the planet at large. You're not an ape, are you? Oh good, neither is the late Billy Graham's magazine.

  27. It's weird how faith is intertwined with politics for so many US evangelicals, which 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 terms "the 'religionization' of politics". I always sort of thought that politics should stay as far away from the church as possible. This is not so much a critique of #evangelicalism as of where the movement is headed. I get biblical hermeneutics, but I think politics ought to be viewed in a way that concerns the Christian faith directly. No political dogma or stereotypes.
