It's definitely *NOT* #church. More of a beer party glued together by mid-century Nashville tunes. The "Hanks" in broad strokes that includes quite a few old gospel tunes.
Final installation of the Cowboy Church Project at the Port of Bandon Old Town Market. 12-2.
(Preempted by the NFL, henceforth.)
New venue? Wednesday evenings in Port Orford. "Mr. Eds. Saloon." Moving to Sunday's possibly.

For some who's beliefs are truly #flatearth and #creationist - maybe they should re-think using tech that doesn't conform to their cosmology.
B/C the physics that makes iPhones "go" says that the #cosmos is very old.
I can't believe I answer this question every so often. (Post below.)

Going live tomorrow... Test run really...
Have been working on various incarnations of "this" since 2014. (When politics in the church became so toxic people started to leave.)

As a former Chaplain involved with the incarcerated, Walmart has become a place I look forward to visiting.
Some of the inmates I know see me at the checkout and run up to hug me. I get emotional.
Others I see averting their gaze hoping not to be noticed. I run up and hug them and they get emotional.
No condemnation, just a little love.

This is not a "I told you so." More of a "thank heavens" - Editors are beginning to let these articles circulate.
ID'd myself as an #Exvagngelical in 2015. After that, watching it come to this... it's like fog slowly condensing out of the political atmosphere ... real rain is on the way.

Sunday Meditation.
The fulcrum for "Blue" resistance is the Establishment Clause, the constitutional separation of Church and State.
The Center/Left must address the question of enforcing the boundary.
To Govern where citizens enjoy real freedom of Religion ... we must prevent religion in government.
Otherwise, we are slipping on the slope of sectarian conflict, racism and fascist theocracy.
"Establishment" needs more discussion!

On #Televangelist Pat Robertson's passing"
"...considering the outcome of their conduct..."
It's personal, to me. Good riddance.

Prepping this morning to attend Edna's funeral. Zero notariety - never used email or social media. Quietest soul ever. Friend of Prisoners. Compassionate. Never confrontational or judgemental.
Her battle with Osteo-A is over. Which illuminates today...
Freedom. Unalienable rights: "Natural rights not dependent on laws or customs."
Celebrating LQBTQ liberty. I wish you peace and joy in this short life. You are loved!

@RollingStone This kind of hateful confrontationalism reared its head in Evangelical circles a decade ago. Remember when Starbucks was in the bullseye?
I was (more than once) ostracized for sporting coffee in my Starbucks plastic refillable. I said "Brother, sometimes coffee is just coffee."
We still have the cups. But have long since lost those fellows.
Politics brought the confrontationalism through the doors, actually.

Toss in the corruption of greed and power mongering - the cauldron magically becomes Christian Nationalism.
Have thought about this since 2015.
Got your 6, man. Concur.

Something for Exvangelical / Orphangelical friends on Easter Sunday.
An allocution of Ten Thesis outlining faults with western (US) Christianity

Wonder Struck... Irony and Karma.
How abject proof of philandering and infidelity is being treated by the #Evangelical / Far right (MAGA base.) Floods of convoluted lies from those pulpits.
#LockHimup reverberates with cosmic justice.
Political collaborators slipping into further into delusion / error.
Let the consequences of deliberate ignorance and cultish fascism manifest.
It's a little scary to watch. But we got this, I trust.

Something for #Orphangelical and #Exvangelical friends - who find themselves estranged from their communities on Sunday morning...

#Chaplain for people who avoid church. It's a good day to count blessings.

This evening I enjoyed answering a Pharisee in the faith, who, pontificating on providential gifts, asserted wealth as a certain measure of spiritual condition.
My response was "When I meet the Creator and give an answer on what I did with finances, I'll confess:
'I spent most of my money on beer and women, the rest I just wasted.' "
You could have heard a pin drop.
Buying Jiffy Pop to feed the crows is not a waste in God's economy. But I'll bet owning a jet is.

A year after Mum's passing due to Covid. Still fumble understanding why. Just cannot grock how faith became fatal.
Toxic church communities are cruel, hate filled principal sources of disinformation delivering people to their demise.
She was a victim of organized Christianity's continued vile history of repression and crimes against humanity.
King George got nothin' on the powers that threaten #democracy today.
