    The interpretive headscratcher that is Evangelicalism

    I saw this new video from Belief It Or Not, which does great video essays on Christianity in the US. This one is basically about how conservative Evangelical types stand for the opposite of everything Jesus said. It's longer, but it's good. Let me know what you think?

    I came across this article by Ben Shapiro (I know...) entitled "America's silent majority must fight liberals killing freedom of speech." Granted, it's Ben Shapiro so he may be intentionally misleading people since I'm sure he's aware of basic Constitutional law, but he exploits a common...

    Young Hillsong Church congregant who mocked vaccine dies of COVID

    According to a Daily Beast article, Man Who Tweeted About Having '99 Problems but a Vax Ain't One' Dies of COVID. In particular: He made memes about trusting the Bible over Dr. Anthony Fauci. But in late July, Harmon wrote that he was “on max oxygen” and “struggling to function.” His final...
