@BasedIllinoisan There’s no light pollution in space becuase there’s no air, if the camera was exposed enough to see stars the objects in the foreground would just be white blobs

Light pollution from the Sun.

@freemarketeer1 @markdtooley Methodism is so great and amazing
English
@markdtooley I say this all the time, Methodism provided the religious and ethical framework that made America so great
English
@atlanticesque @avrilbradley23 The UMC is the rightful successor of the CoE in America but few want you to know that
English
@avrilbradley23 Methodist churches are just the local branches of the episcopal church tee bee aych

Congregationalism and Episcopalianism didn't "disappear" though and grew in absolute numbers until the mid 20th Century-they just grew more slowly than Methodists etc due to the latter adapting to frontier expansion better.

American religion changed dramatically in its first 75 years. Episcopalians and Congregationalists largely disappeared. Catholics rose by 7x. Methodists went from being a rounding error to the largest Christian group.

@historiclassics It’s not the 14th state if it never was recognized by the federal government
English
In 1785, frontiersmen (in what’s now Tennessee) declared the independent State of Franklin after North Carolina tried to abandon them.
It eventually collapsed in 1789, but was the 14th state for a good 4 years.

I don't think I have ever heard a good educational summary of the great awakenings

This discourse is painful but why aren’t people able to realize that most southerners are wasps?

the real problem with modern conservatives trying to emulate WASPs is everything about WASP culture goes against modern conservatism, because WASP culture creates libs

@_JeanLannes Not that it matters since you shouldn’t be church shopping anyway

Yeah you're gonna be looking for a while. Best I can recommend is probably Laestadianism, independent/microsynod traditional prot groups.

Does such a church exist in Christendom: -Traditional Hymns, choirs with robes, organists, and NO electric guitars. -National (but generally decentralized) Organization. -Not aligned with political “charity” efforts to import the 3rd world and teach them how to rob the welfare state. -Wooden pews, lobby doesn’t look like a dentist office. -Male clergy. -Enforces a dress code (no shorts, flip flops, ball caps, etc). -Bans incompatible ideologues from staff/clergy (Marxism, Sciencism, Universalism, Racism, Socialism, or “Rainbow flag cabals”, etc). -Rejects wackadoodle strains such as Dispensationalism.

@historiclassics This is based btw
Monarchs can’t trample the ancient rights of the Englishman
English
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 really wasn't that "glorious".
Parliament deposed King James II, invited William of Orange to be a figurehead, and passed the Bill of Rights.
This is regarded as the moment when divine right died and constitutional monarchy was born

@maggiemphillips Unitarians cannot be WASPs since they’re not Protestant
also most mainline Protestant groups are about even in partisanship
also the SBC is majority WASP
English
Once again reminding people that the actual descendants of the OG WASPs are like, progressive Unitarians and Episcopalians

@LinkofSunshine I mean American elections have never been particularly huge landslides, Nixon was the last person to get more than 60% of the popular vote and the post era of good feelings record is 61% by Lyndon

@NathanBozeman2 I’m not saying you have to, as a Christian, have my exact interpretation, I’m just saying you have to assent in some form to it being true.
There are multiple interpretations where the interpreter believes Genesis to be 100% accurate
English
@PredisioJAdams I don't think that's right, unless you assume that "true" can only mean "interpreting this the way I do."
There are other ways of interpreting Genesis. The question is: Which one is correct?
English
Fundamentalists who make your view of the earth "a Gospel issue" are a major reason many people leave the faith.
Your view of creation has implications for how you understand the Gospel, but it is not a rejection of the Gospel to hold to an old earth. And it's dumb to say it is.

@genzdivorceddad @Empty_America The decline of Methodism has been a disaster for this nation
English
@Empty_America I guess it would also include Calvinism and Methodism (Lutherans probably only satisfy W and P), which are still recognizable but not as aesthetically pleasing as Episcopals
English
The other thing to understand is that the "P" in WASP didn't mean what you might think.
They had zero cultural relationship with anything like modern evangelicalism, southern Baptists, etc.
Especially in NYC, many were attending very high Episcopal Churches, like this:

@lunarcapablemic @HubPointless they were actually on a hybrid trajectory and had to adjust back to free return
