You'll have to excuse the vulgar half-wit, he's not a deacon
Wow. They just disrespect everybody. I got a particularly good laugh at 1:05.
Related. SNL Weekend Update did a bit about the Oath Keeper with an eyepatch who got charged with a sedition and they did not skimp on the eyepatch jokes. Good on them.
Davis is fully convinced that the continued denial of the nature of the Jan. 6 insurrection, and especially “all the lies that precipitated it,” is causing major division in the church.
However, Davis believes the seeds of this division had been sown years earlier with events including the death of George Floyd, the 2017 “Unite the Right” Charlottesville rally, the announcement of Donald Trump’s presidency, and even Barack Obama’s election as president.
“This crisis of church leadership and Christian public witness has been decades in the making,” Davis explained. “The seeds have been sown over many years, and the harvest is finally here.”
When another Christian in the community (not a member of his church) shared on social media a fake photo of Sen. Bernie Sanders protesting a Civil Rights march, a family friend confronted her about spreading lies. The woman explained that she knew it wasn’t true but persisted in sharing it because “I’d like to believe it’s true.”
Yep.
And they’ve grown ever more comfortable with dishonesty as fuel for their addictive passion.
Notice how QAnon basically stopped after the election? It's like conservatives get hoped up on some weird disinformation drug leading up to every election and the high immediately wears off after they vote. But it's a gateway to the next weird drug two years later.
There are similarities in the experiences of pastors and teachers as we've been discussing on the Political Chat thread. It's the same group of people who are just dedicated to wearing down institutions and those who serve with their nonsense.
That's a good read. I did find it interesting that one of the pastors joined the Anglican Church in search of an "ancient path" that was presumably less rooted in politics in deference to one leader. He's going to be disappointed when he learns the history.
