@megbasham Oh my goodness this is my favorite thing of 2026 😂 the fact that she's 100% unfazed, like this is normal and happens every day. I literally think we have the same children 😂

Well now my older daughter has sent me a response to the folks worried about this maternal impersonator she has. I have no idea what my other daughter is doing 😂

@Meldougherty77 Aw would be fun if we were all together at the same event someday and could hang!

Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that.
Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…”
But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious.
And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either.
So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

I believe this analysis is correct.
"But hey, at least a bunch of influencers made money off of centuries old propaganda made for illiterate peasants."
Perhaps the OP will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he's referring to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which is where the myth of "Jewish world conspiracy" originates.
I've done about 500 pages of reading on this forgery alone, with more to come. I believe it is absolutely what is motivating the worldview of Tucker, Candace, Schaffer, Shields, Cooper, Bilzerian, Webbon, Robinson, and plenty of others.
Young men's minds, hearts, and spirits are being devoured by this trash. Men who claim to represent God are propagating it.
But even worse, many of their brothers in the Reformed Frathouse are remaining silent about it.

Here’s what I think is going to happen. The right is going to lose in 2026, not because Democrats have better or more popular policies, but because of voter fatigue on the right from constant propaganda meant to divide us… which is clearly working. They threw out all of the stops, never missing an opportunity to push so many lies from so many angles that most people simply can’t process what is real and what is fiction. So, we lose. It won’t seem too drastic at first, but it will hamstring the Trump admin enough and tie him and those that remain loyal up in impeachments and other nonsense that will make his admin ineffective. This will create more doubt on the right as Democrats and our adversaries pump more propaganda into the space, highlighting the ineffectiveness. Morale will drop even further. Then we are really going to lose in 2028. We are going give Democrats and the Halal Right a supermajority, which they will use to pack the court, open the borders again, send more money to Islamist and left leaning causes, reestablish DEI policies, proliferate troon ideology, and ultimately start chipping away at the Constitution. It will only take a year or two with that kind of juice behind the effort and a supermajority pushing through legislation. The SCOTUS will be unable to stop unconstitutional laws because of the new leftist majority make up. A hot Civil War will start in the south, but it won’t feel like a civil war (no real clear sides, more like insurgent warfare of rural vs urban). Media and influencers will push it as anti-American insurgents trying to attack other Americans. Rights will be suspended. The Patriot Act will be used to identify and lock up tens of thousands. Martial law will be implemented. American foreign policy will crumble with the domestic issues. China and Russia will move forward in the world stage and systematically rewrite alliances. World wars will likely break out as a result. By 2030… the word will be a bleak and terrible place… But hey, at least a bunch of influencers made money off of centuries old propaganda made for illiterate peasants. Fun times.

If anyone is looking for a Christian podcast guest who can speak to—and refute—psychedelics from firsthand experience, DM me.
I have extensive experience from before I became a Christian. I speak the lingo and can address all the ways they justify unbiblical practices.

A big reason why I used to find relativism appealing:
A lot of Christians or people who might not have ever believed such a thing might giggle a little bit about how anyone could believe this. Relativism says that truth is not absolute. It changes with the ebb and flow of the culture, society, and even from person to person. I remember why I found this so appealing and even relieving. Let me explain:
Imagine you're a college student. You love learning, reading, and hearing new ideas. This is a good thing. We should all love these things despite our beliefs. You're in a World Religions class. The professor goes through each religion and describes what each believes and the differences between them. There are no strawmen. The professor accurately describes each one being careful and mindful to be accurate in their description. You discover, however, that each one obviously contradicts one another. You find yourself becoming very overwhelmed with the thought of trying to sift through each one to discover which one might be true. Not only that, but the professor next shows an image of the universe with an impossible number of galaxies out there. You find that you cannot possibly comprehend the intensity of what you're seeing. You feel extremely small. With everything out there to possibly know and comparing it to what we don't know... how can anyone claim to know truth? You actually find yourself becoming extremely uncomfortable with this thought.
You get so overwhelmed that you inevitably *default* to relativism to relieve the dissonance. You feel relief. You feel okay with this. You feel that nobody could *possibly* know the answers to these things, so you suspend judgment of knowing the truth. Embracing this relief, you can now continue hearing everyone's ideas, even if they contradict. It would seem that it's silly to claim to know truth with the majesty of the universe and the complexity of spirituality.
I remember this when people sometimes err to this belief. But if objective truth can truly be known (which is demonstrable), we should want to see that truth even if it makes us uncomfortable.

German woman claims to be transracial and black. She takes tanning pills and injections to darken her skin.
She’s mocked because of her mental illness.
But the same people who mock her will praise and uplift a man who claims to be a woman.
So why the double standard?

@Meldougherty77 I'm still avoiding that class. For now, I'll put my em-dashes wherever my heart feels they should go. 😁

In seminary I had to take a writing class. I will be done with my fourth degree next year (hopefully) and to this day that seminary writing class was the hardest class I have ever taken. There was lots of precious time devoted to when and why we use an email dash in writing. We even did sentence diagramming. (Which I still don't quite understand. I bombed that quiz. 😬)
When I was writing my book Happy Lies, AI really became a thing. In light of the intensive training we went through in class with being careful writers, I remember being quite annoyed about how AI does that heavy work for you. I actually second guessed using an em dash in my writing because it became so associated with AI. Now I avoid them all together. It's been cheapened.

I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell. Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

I made a comment on this post. They decided to delete it. So now I'm going to share it on ALL my socials where ten times more people will see. Try deleting it now:
Actually... I understand unnecessary division and slander. But I'd say the greatest danger to the body of Christ are wolves in sheep's clothing and the wolves protecting the other wolves at the expense of the sheep by shaming and manipulating the sheep.
It's not divisive to call out bad theology and false teachers who harm people. It's divisive to teach bad theology that hurts people.

The greatest danger to the body of Christ is when believers fall for the devil’s scheme to turn against one another—judging, attacking, falsely accusing, and hating fellow believers.

To Christian leaders, influencers, political commentators, and anyone else who thinks calling out poison is “division” or “infighting"... this is what you sound like. Whitewashed tombs. Blind guides in aprons. Cowards.
It is better to be divided by truth than united in error.
"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught. Avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive." Romans 16:17-18.
Much of this script was influenced by using actual things influencers, leaders, and commentators have said. There are many different groups represented here, not just one. Do you recognize them?
