The fact that this regime is both (occasionally) the most pointedly Christian in its posturing and the most shamelessly adulterous in my memory is so galling to me

I grew up in New Jersey

this is triggering a memory of how I wanted to be a Miami Dolphins fan when I was like 7, not because I cared about football, but because I liked dolphins and the logo was a very pleasing shade of teal for Child Me

In 30 Rock there is a bit where they create Seinfeldvision, where Seinfeld is digitally inserted into other shows. Yesterday an AI sitcom slop clip made the rounds. With the right push we could get close to Netflix Seinfeldvision, the point of human civilization’s singularity

The whole thing about commercials was that you had to work up to a kind of mini-climax or mini-cliffhanger every few minutes, leading into an ad, so viewers were hooked & willing to wait. It forced writers to keep things lively & interesting. So many shows these days just drag.

Thank you.

Yeah he’s pretty pessimistic. I want to be more hopeful but it does stink that we live in such a Christianized yet Christian-illiterate context that Protestants are happy to neither know nor care that they’re Protestant

We've gotten so many of these pieces where a liberal engages in a good-faith effort to understand Trump voters. Every time, they discover that there's no deeper sympathetic reason they hold their views. They're just misinformed and hateful. My own efforts have found this too.

Exactly

Hm. Maybe i'll try giving up social media between Easter and Pentecost instead. Hmmmmm

in some schools we still drink The Spank from the hose

(I mean no offense with the last two phrases, just being a bit cheeky)

I'm trying to imagine where my church membership may land in 30, 40 years if I'm still around. Theologically, will I drift where Brad East argues most magisterial Protestants drift, going the way of nondenominational Melting Pot-ism or the Holy Mother Church route?

He thinks the titular Goldilocks Protestantism of the magisterial Reformation is a doomed project in a post-Christendom west because that iteration of Protestantism relied on Christendom for the "goldilocks" element to even be possible.

a multicultural encounter I always love is when you tell someone about something that seems totally normal to you and their response is "you're messing with me rn" lmao

Goldilocks Protestantism - First Things Imagine a world without Protestantism. I don’t mean a world without Christians who are neither Catholic nor Orthodox. I mean a world in which there are only two groups...

I don't like First Things, but I respect Brad East. I think about Protestant identity a lot and felt a strange sadness reading this. He argues Christianity is polarized (inevitably so!) into tradition-less evangelical/Pentecostal or high church Cathodox.

I am also an evangelical at heart. To "turn to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Savior" and "place your whole trust in His grace and love" is the greatest joy of the Christian life, defining its initiation and its completion.

AMAZING.

I hear you and agree. It feels incongruous that the affirmations and renunciations are not seen or treated as liturgical statements of discipleship nearly as much as the covenant.
