we are having a movie sing-along at the parish later this month 😇

What would my priest more likely murder me for: Palm Sunday choir anthem of Hosanna (Hillsong) or Palm Sunday choir anthem of Hosanna (Jesus Christ Superstar)

I do believe in historical criticism of the Bible, it’s not that the method is wrong, it’s that the Significance of the Bible is not there but in the Spirit using it to prompt us to see our world today through Jesus Christ’s revelation of God

So many things are like this

This is basically my view at this point

Trust me, as a youth pastor, the thin crust from Little Caesars is better than the regular crust

Didn't think my anti-gambling position could get any stronger...

Last month I directed a short musical adaptation of SALTBLOOD, the novel about Mary Read and Anne Bonny, transmasc he/him lesbian pirates, and this was the flag we went with:

Someone needs to write a left-mainline version of Do Hard Things

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

You can sort by "shuffle" and it will display fifty random films. I do that and then watch one of the first five it displays

anyone who supports this is my enemy

The strat is that that church wouldn’t die, but all the Spongite Boomer churches would, leaving them with the bag. Unfortunately this will not happen because the Spong generation, while dying, is more than being replaced by Gay Evangelicals &co flooding into the mainline.

Our two options are Medicare for All or bringing back Clerical Celibacy so that we don’t have to pay the premium for full-family insurance (I’m joking but also not)

I mean maybe there is ghost money somewhere (in the vault at Trinity Wall Street…) but over here in the normal world we are not going to survive given the shrinking numbers and ever rising Cost Disease for salary and health insurance costs for clergy and labor costs for building upkeep

The reconq people correctly see that the mainline denominations have the money, but they fail to see that we would need to have 10x the money we have to actually stay open and succeed…

Finally someone who gets it

Grant, Almighty God, that your people may recognize their weakness and put their whole trust in your strength, so that they may rejoice forever in the protection of your loving providence.

I got put on a Homophobes blocklist by some insane guy and any attempt to talk him out of it just entrenched further that I am a Homophobe lol

Virtuemaxxing, kenosismogging, etc

I need to get USB-C port headphones because the lightning port ones are less and less compatible by the day it seems

So true

I would trust a random person at Costco with my wallet. They wouldn’t steal it for fear that they’d lose their Costco Membership.

It seems to be inherent in the concept of “cultures” that other things are both constitutive of them and constituted by them

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Extreme eye roll

The current Tourette’s discourse is reminding me of that scene in The Square (2017) which is satirical but also so true
