MAGA Masculinity and Jumping the Shark What does the Superbowl Halftime, the Men and women’s Olympic hockey teams, USA women’s figure skating, and a new report that says that Gen Z men are more patriarchal than previous generations have in...

β€œThe reality is that MAGA is simply exhausting to the general population. It’s the constant embarrassment, cringe, hyperbolic lying that’s also just a kind of huckster cheap trash esthetic that repulses far more people than it attracts.”

β€œThis is where we are at now, that to simply tell a fairly large portion of American Evangelicalism that they need to love their neighbor as a human being worthy of dignity and respect is β€œwoke”.”

The Functioning False Gospels A couple of weeks ago I went on a podcast Sacred Shenanigans. Of the many things we discussed we got around to the β€œreal” β€œGospels” that different branches of American Evangelicalism ascribe to. This ...

β€œYet Jesus’ response to seeing people wasn’t to wonder what sins they haven’t repented of, it wasn’t to ask how devoted they were, it wasn’t to question whether they were β€œsubmitted” enough, it was to see them as β€œweary and heavy laden”.”

Story and "Truth" How do people perceive β€œtruth”?

β€œI honestly believe disenchantment is inevitable. The narratives that aren’t grounded in any reality but only in ideological fantasy ultimately meet economic destitution, personal shame, or political ruin.”

Truth isn't My Religion (Hello everyone!

β€œIn short, what makes you "righteous" is the affirmation of others who hold to the same thing that you do in opposition to the obvious "tainted" and "deceived" persons who have "compromised" with the "world".”

What If.... it's Just Racist? There’s a popular sermon illustration that I’ve been thinking about over the past few weeks.

β€œIt is time to recognize that white American Evangelicalism is simply so many whitewashed tombs. Good looking doctrine, pretty people, nice worship music, β€œreasonable” worldviews, and in the end the racism is just there rotting and festering underneath the surface.”

Matches and Gasoline are Cheap... and Sometimes Necessary "There is nothing like a good shock of pain for dissolving certain kinds of magic."

β€œAt some point you have to realize you are dealing with people who simply do not wish to live in good faith with others that disagree with them. I’ve come to believe the energy addressing the same issues AGAIN… is better spent doing practically anything else.”

I'm talking about friends these days. And loneliness. This watercolour print is called Friends Matter. Even animal ones. Look: we matter, and we matter to each other. Love is what connects us. To ourselves. To each other. To nature. To the animals. To the earth. Friends matter! You matter to me.

Bowing the Knee to Achilles (I normally post classic works on Monday and new material today but I felt I needed to respond to the murder of Alex Pretti.

β€œThis leads me back to Lewis. He states that the chivalrous knight is a matter of art not science. Again, the true knight is, β€œβ€¦not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth.”

You're not on Crazy Pills The past few weeks in the aftermath of the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis have been incredible to experience.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
