NEW: The Sierra Club embraced social justice. Then it tore itself apart.

I'm grateful to @DouthatNYT for giving me and Helen a forum for a full, frank disagreement about her "Great Feminization" thesis. https://t.co/PJkEQ4vSyg

The average evangelical attends church with more frequency today than in 1972. 42% --> 55% weekly attendance. The average Catholic is half as likely to attend Mass today compared to 1972. 50% --> 23% weekly attendance.

No to the groypers. No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash. No to those who champion them.  No to demoralization. No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit. No to anti-Americanism. No.

Here’s some #NQN. Many of the radicals that @douglaswils is now attempting to corral are individuals that he helped popularize. He published their books. He put them on his podcasts. He also guided them right up to the edge of the kinist/nazi/antisemite precipice. 1/

Did you know States were allowed to establish official religions? Massachusetts had one up until 1833. For the USA’s first 150 years, the First Amendment only applied to the Federal Govt, not States. Then one day in 1947 the Supreme Court just woke up and decided it did.

I remember learning what "piety" meant from an Ultima-inspired shareware game I got on one of those CD-ROM compilations.

Today a man suffering from dementia, who often doesn't remember the beginning of a conversation by the end of it, recited the first answer to the Heidelberg catechism from memory during Sunday School. The deep roots of truth don't let go, even when we can't hold on to it.

was honored to explain and discuss the phenomenon of “reality respecters” with @MereFidelity gang — a term I first coined in summer 2024 and have been exploring in various essays since

There are ways to welcome sinners with grevious pasts into fellowship with other Christians where they can hear the Gospel. Putting people with violent and abusive pasts into positions of authority in a church with families and children AND NOT TELLING ANYONE isn't one of them.

From all false doctrine, heresy, and schism; from hardness of heart, and contempt of your Word and commandments, Good Lord, deliver us.

@elimcgowan The "honor your father's crowd" will go back 10 generations to find one questionable quote or bad statement that we must affirm today, but cannot even honor the elders Christ has put in front of them today.

Augustine on slavery: "[God] did not want a rational creature, made in his own image, to have dominion except over irrational creatures—not man over man but man over beasts. That is why the first righteous men were established as shepherds of flocks rather than as kings of men...

You can thank Doug Wilson for the resurgence of young guys talking about slavery this way. His 1996 book Southern Slavery: As It Was started it. He built his platform the same way Joshua Haymes is now. It’s playbook. Wilson is the godfather of today’s Christian Nationalism.

"Humanities brains" can't even agree whether we should build cities, let alone rockets.

"Play the man, Master Ridley. We shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England as I trust shall never be put out."

'By [al-Gharbi's] reading, no positive social change correlates with a commitment to “wokeness.” The forms of knowledge that result from it, rather, are their own form of capital.'

We need more work done on Just duel theory.
