Evangelical Theology is a Jenga Tower.

Mainline Theology is a mosaic.

I don’t think people really see how threatening it is for Talarico to called the Christianity practiced by most Republicans “an abomination.” He is hitting where it’s gonna hurt.

2/ Americans ask for healthcare, affordable housing, gas and groceries. Trump and Hegseth give them a public execution. American Evangelicals claim to want “the Kingdom of God” but more and more they are re-creating Rome’s Empire. The very empire that put Jesus to death by public execution.

Wow. The blunt truths are SUCH a relief to hear. As horrible as it all is, it’s like I can finally catch my breath, just by hearing a politician bluntly say them out loud.

“Psychotic bloodthirst” is the most on-point description of Hegseth’s worldview ever.

Huh. This reminds me of something. It's on the tip of my brain... Oh yeah, this is it.

Just saw that. Hegseth is a broken human being.

@dianabutlerbass.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 9:58 PM

Just read that it was, indeed, a directive from Hegseth.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I bet this was Pete Hegseth’s idea.

This is disgusting and morally abhorrent.

What happens when two historians of American religion who also write about spirituality get together to talk about "losing religion," post-evangelicals, and faith and politics?

Well, "everything happens" that you probably wouldn't expect!
