I got my brother to change my password to something I don’t know. I’ll be back someday but now I need to work on school. Thanks for listening, have a good year.
On 9/11 I thought, For the most powerful, militarized nation in the world also to think of itself as an innocent victim is deadly. It was a rare prophetic moment for me, considering Presidents Bush and Obama have spent billions asking the military to rectify the crime of a small band of lawless individuals, destroying a couple of nations who had little to do with it, in the costliest, longest series of wars in the history of the United States.
The silence of most Christians and the giddy enthusiasm of a few, as well as the ubiquity of flags and patriotic extravaganzas in allegedly evangelical churches, says to me that American Christians may look back upon our response to 9/11 as our greatest Christological defeat. It was shattering to admit that we had lost the theological means to distinguish between the United States and the kingdom of God. The criminals who perpetrated 9/11 and the flag-waving boosters of our almost exclusively martial response were of one mind: that the nonviolent way of Jesus is stupid. All of us preachers share the shame; when our people felt very vulnerable, they reached for the flag, not the Cross.

P.r.o.o.f. of eXistence: Homosexuality and Christianity: Gay and Christian Pt. 1
Recently I heard about a LGBT Oriented Christian group here at USC. Upon initial thought, I thought “oh thats cool, reaching out to the lost.”
Then I realized, this group was one of the growing Pro-homosexual “Christian” groups that have been growing across the United States.
Upon beginning…
I think it’s great that you can look at millions of LGBT, assume they all see the bible the same way you do (like all straight christians surely do), and correct their true intentions for them based on the 0 to a few gay people you’ve known.
I know the feeling man. Since everybody was taught the same things as you and raised in the same environment it’s always frustrating when they continue to reject your idea of the correct life to live. “Well dang, how DO they not see???”
I wish I could anon but it will fuck up my semester. I had a problem before.
“…I think it’s pretty clear what you must do with it! “
Well yeah but I had to quit unfortunately.
Pervertedly bad mashup: Wildly intimidating chaos contrasted with a blissful, triumphant, tragic celebration of life and desire.
