Bear in the woods joke

A man is hiking in the woods when suddenly a huge bear jumps out at him. Terrified, without a gun or bear spray, the man prays, "Dear God, let this be a Christian bear."

Immediately, the bear falls to his knees and says, "Thank you, Lord, for this meal I am about to enjoy."

Texas Republican Party passes resolution denying Biden 2020 win

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-republican-party-passes-resolution-denying-legitimacy-of-bidens-victory-in-presidential-election/

The resolution refers to Biden as "acting president."

The Republican Party platform resolutions also call for the complete and total abolition of abortion and prohibiting the teaching of sex education, sexual health, or sexual choice.

It also states that Texas has the right to secede from the US.

So, 'bye, Texas. We will not miss you.

Jon Stewart podcast discussion on Hutchinson testimony

This is a LONG discussion, but worth listening to. Jon discusses with 3 guests the significance of Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, the DOJ likelihood of prosecution, and Jon's view of what point in Trump's post election behavior proves criminal intent. Toward the end, they discuss their expectation that the Republicans will choose DeSantis as their leader and 2024 candidate. DeSantis has all of Trump's right wing extremism without the unpredictability and ignorance.

My prediction is that the 2024 Republican ticket will be DeSantis/Cheney.

Is your church addressing Christian Nationalism?

A recent newsletter from my church brings up Christian Nationalism as we approach the July 4 holiday.

Many churches, especially mainline ones, focus on religious faith, not politics. But when some religious denominations and individuals promote a merging of religion and politics, it becomes necessary to address the issue.

The newsletter that I received quotes Pamela Cooper-White on Christian Nationalism. She is the author of the book, Christian Nationalism: Why People Are Drawn in and How to Talk Across the Divide.

She says, "Christian Nationalism is a fanatical, radical departure from the teachings of Jesus and any faithful reading of the Gospels, and it is also dangerously anti-democratic."
