@RonDeSantis If the State Dept were to hold a wordwide raffle to determine who carries out Donald’s sentence, it could put a big dent in the national debt.

Yes and we are just a handful of states away from certifying that amendment by the states per Article V of the Constitution. Congress won’t fix itself!

@EmilySm43 “It’s ten o’clock. Have you threatened your children with eternal damnation today?”

Be brutally honest

@oliverburdick Christianity holds no copyright on character and morality. There are many avenues to better versions of oneself.

Yes, Christianity brainwashed me. Now I want to: - Stay away from drugs - Stop watching porn - Stay married to one person - Forgive and pray for my enemies - Be more like Jesus Maybe everyone needs some brainwashing.

@wendelltalks Every sentence you wrote except one is untrue. If you mean original manupscripts, you’re batting 1.000

The Bible isn’t ancient myth. Its manuscript evidence is stronger than for any other document from antiquity. There are thousands of manuscripts. Scholars across the spectrum agree the Bible is remarkably reliable. The facts point to truth, not legend.

@TheresaArueyin1 Quick Bible study: Which of the significant passages could not have been entirely invented by ancient humans?

The most attacked book in history… is still the most read. Explain that. Fun fact: The Bible is the most banned, burned, and opposed book in history. Yet it remains the #1 bestseller of all time. That’s not normal. That’s power. “Why do you think a book this opposed still stands today?”

@ScottJenningsKY You’re such a conniving Ted-hole, Scott. Have you scheduled time for reality to knock that Christian Smirk right on the other side of your head?

More “heads I win, tails you lose” last night but here are the facts: we’ve crushed Iran militarily & now we have space to hopefully negotiate a safer world. I’ll pray for peace while others hope for Trump to fail.

@75002Parisienne Donald needs a balcony by ankles moment. [That’s a metaphor, Laura.]

ART Of THE SQUEAL ☑️ Ships can transit the Strait of Hormuz under 🇮🇷 control (which was not the case before the war) for a fee… ☑️ The 🇮🇷 regime survives (with intact nuclear program & control / Strait) & the freedom of the 🇮🇷 people, is not mentioned, even as an afterthought…

@DrFrankTurek False dichotomy, Frank. Even divine commands must somehow comport with the empathy and sense of fair play intrinsic to a successful social species. Dog videos are more edifying than most of what we get from apologists - and whoever you stole it from.

Is there really good and evil, or are we just moist robots dancing to the music of our DNA? If there is no objective morality, then there is no “right” to anything, whether it is abortion or the right to life.

@tperkins Fascists always have Clergy somewhere in attendance. I don’t know if your motivation is to hasten eschatology or a final grasp at Christian White Nationalism before Donald destroys everything for you. There will be accountability. You will be allowed to feign nothing.

Iran’s 10-point plan to end the war with the U.S. is not a road map for peace in the Middle East. If the U.S. agrees to what the Iranian regime wants, the situation in the Middle East will be potentially worse than it was before the war.

@tperkins @calvarycch @RealJackHibbs Any “biblical perspective” you offer must first be seen through the irony of Christian bookstores carrying more than one title.

"Israel is going to do what they need to do with or without America to finish the job of this horrific regime that just wholesale slaughters their own people." @calvarycch's @realjackhibbs shares a biblical perspective on the latest from Iran.

@StateDept @benfergusonshow All together: Bite me, Karoline!

PRESS SEC: I would strongly advise the media against running with narratives that have no basis in fact. President Trump would NEVER accept an Iranian wish list as a deal. He will only make a deal that serves in the best interests of the American people 🇺🇸

@75002Parisienne I love making my wife genuinely laugh. This is one of those she understands but doesn’t “get.” It will probably always make me chuckle. Even amidst crises, humor sustains and there remain Glimmers which point to the rightness of living.

@JTrott 😏

@75002Parisienne This morning I went to an appointment with a urologist to discuss a sudden onset of premature ejaculation. Turns out it was tomorrow.

@tperkins So, as one who claims to speak for God, the depth of your criticism is “you’re acting like a ruffian.” Fascists always have Clergy somewhere in attendance.

I am praying for the president; he needs our prayers. While his Sunday Truth Social post on Iran may be designed to transmit bravado toward the Iranian regime to bring the conflict to an end, the continuing decline in language and decorum of our leaders is very troubling and should not be acceptable.

@AriFleischer They would have to bury him in an unmarked grave at an undisclosed location. The gravediggers will be lost to history. The relics market would go nuts for his tongue and other bits.

While Trump, Hegseth and the entire military were working, this is what the left was doing. Fantasizing that Trump was in the hospital. Never forget how deranged and hateful the opposition to Trump truly is.

@AriFleischer You’re a ghoul, Ari. Each member of his family despises every fibre of his being. When Donald bites the big one, the planet will “party like it’s 1945.” You’re not invited.

@jason_howerton The active ingredient in Christianity is evangelical terrorism.

A bunch of people are arguing over who killed Jesus. Some say Jews did it. Others say the Romans did it. Some blame Judas. But I know the truth. I killed Jesus. You killed Jesus. We killed Jesus. And for that reason, we exalt His name in return for a gift we do not deserve.

@sola_chad Wrong.

@ss_scmb Just for the record, that fact you had a need to say that, indicates it is not entirely true. Lying is Donald’s only true friend.

Just for the record, our President , Secretary Hegseth and General Caine never left the White House all weekend while the intense search and rescue was underway of our downed man. 🇺🇸 This is leadership

@NancyRPearcey I’ve participated in discussions of (maybe) two of your books. How do you process the dissonance between what you know of skepticism and what you want your readers to accept?

How Christianity ended slavery: "Many people fail to realize that virtually every society has had slaves — from the Chinese to the Arabs to the Native Americans. In fact, there is only one worldview that gave rise to moral opposition to slavery — namely, Christianity. The first person to offer a moral and logical argument against slavery as an institution was a church father writing in the 4th century: Gregory of Nyssa argued explicitly on the ground that all persons are in the likeness of God — and therefore, he said, no one has a right to buy or sell another person. In the Middle Ages, Christians made various efforts to limit or outlaw slavery. As early as the 7th century, Saint Bathilde (wife of King Clovis II) became famous for her campaign to stop the slave trade.  St. Anskar tried to halt the Viking slave trade. Finally, in the 13th century, the great theologian Thomas Aquinas pronounced that slavery is a sin. But by then, it was not even a matter of controversy. It was the settled consensus among Christians that human bondage was wrong. This history makes it even more surprising that slavery later made a comeback in the United States. American slaveholders were going against centuries of settled conviction that slavery was wrong. And even then, who rose up to oppose the slaveholders? Who led the movement to abolish slavery? Mostly Christians.  Many abolitionists were inspired by the Second Great Awakening, a series of religious revivals in the 19th century, which emphasized that all humans are created equal in the eyes of God. For example, the famous revivalist Charles Finney, a Presbyterian minister, condemned slavery from the pulpit, calling it a “great national sin.” He refused to give communion to slaveholders. Finney was the president of Oberlin College, an important stop on the Underground Railroad, a network of secret safe houses for escaped slaves who were fleeing north. Finally, there was the Civil War. America is the only country on Earth to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of its own citizens in a war to end slavery. Sociologist Rodney Stark, in For the Glory of God, points out that it was not Enlightenment philosophers who crafted a moral indictment of slavery. It was mostly evangelical Christians, and they were motivated by their firm conviction that all people are made in the image of God." --"Slavery and the Image of God," Science & Culture Today.

@NancyRPearcey Slavery and JimCrow could not have persisted without the tacit and direct approval of Christian leaders and clergy. Abolition didn’t become a viable endeavor until after the Enlightenment; it became an emotional political lever, much as Abortion today.
