@GShaneMorris See: Andy Stanley's infamous "unhitching" sermon where he completely botches Constantine and the Council of Nicaea

@GShaneMorris I think you'd be disappointed how many average people who attend church regularly have a similar conception of church history
English
It's no exaggeration to say that the average person with a high school education who does not attend church regularly accepts as a matter of settled fact that Constantine promoted Jesus to godhood and excluded a bunch of secret gospels from the canon. I talk to them all the time.
Philip Bunn@PhilipDBunn
The level of historical conspiracy some of these people are on is mind-boggling, but just remember a lot of very normal people believe just as stupid things (Dan Brown history of the church etc)
English
@PhilipDBunn I've realized just how important this is. If there's a couple sitting near me in church that brought their kid, I ALWAYS make it a point to tell them what a blessing it was to see their kid in the service, and what a great job they're doing as parents.
English
If you are positively disposed to children, I'm increasingly convinced you have a positive obligation to make parents with children feel welcome in public spaces. Even something as simple as positive smiles makes a difference. Let children exist!
John Ehrett@johnehrett
In the next few decades, we are going to see a nasty cleavage in public life between people who love kids and people who actively dislike them and want them excluded from public space.

I was prepared to say how easy flying frontier was even with children… and then they lost my son’s car seat on the flight home lol

I'm watching old footage from Promise Keepers rallies from the 90s for a project, and it's truly wild the difference between the humble, God-centered, sacrificial masculinity every speaker at these events exhorted men to, and the bizarre machismo nonsense you come across today.
English
Yep. The grindset and pop stoicism folks haven't gotten as far as asking "What is the good life?" It's not girls, money, and cars. It's not even being the kind of person who can get those things. What do they teach in these schools? It's all in Switchfoot.
Derek Rishmawy@DZRishmawy
The thing I see is an empty shallowness attendant on that fixated on externals, money, temporal status markers instead of God, the eternal, etc. as well as a purely natural existence w/o grace.
English
@PhilipDBunn The weirdest part about this current discourse is they're like "Homeschoolers r stupid and being abused" and then you point to all of the data and examples that show that's simply not true and then they're like "THOSE ARE THE EXCEPTIONS MY PRIORS CANNOT NOT BE CHALLENGED!!!"
English
There are at least four outright falsehoods in this post!
Knowing Better@KnowingBetterYT
This is beyond incorrect. Once you pull your kid for homeschool, the state is no longer involved. There is no home school diploma, they aren't required to take the ACT/SAT, there is no graduation. The ones who go on to college and "test well" are <1% of the total.
English
@PhilipDBunn Just wild this is STILL happening, 40 years later with a mountain of evidence to prove they're wrong.
English
Another day, another discourse that reveals many people think homeschooling means exclusively “one parent, always at home, teaches everything unassisted.”
English
@johnehrett Oh my gosh I literally just did that on Friday. What have I become?!
English
you either die a rebel or you live long enough to become the dad reading Plugged In Online to see if a movie is appropriate for your kids
English
But we ABSOLUTELY MUST vote for the ticket who both want 60% of abortions legal and criticize state level heartbeat laws, and gutted the platform of the only viable pro-life party? Forgive my lack of enthusiasm.

Kamala Harris’s Vp pick Tim Walz signing a law to allow abortion up until birth in Minnesota while a young girl and smiling liberal women applaud Christians cannot vote for this.
English
Fully convinced that history will go on to remember this one as the best in Shyamalan’s whole canon. It’s only obliquely a horror-thriller. It’s a dark romantic drama about conservatism, modernity, and generational regret. Mass culture didn’t live this, and doesn’t get this.
