Christians, do you live what you say you believe? Do you actually believe what you say you believe?

In recent conversations, the mismatch between what Christians do and what people think Christians should do is a major factor in seeking other belief systems.

TV show idea: a legal drama set in a zombie community, titled "Habeas Corpses."

I am sad to hear about the shooting at Michigan State. Fellow Americans, it's time to stop shooting your fellow Americans.

I had six meetings and calls yesterday. One was a no-show, and four of the remaining five mentioned ChatGPT in some way.

Scrolling through social media is a bit like a Snickers bar: enjoying a little here and there is fine, but if you overdo it, you'll be unhealthy and you'll feel bad.

"We must not mistake faith in God for faith in faith." -Brad Young, "Jesus the Jewish Theologian"

At least it wasn't a baked potato.

Alternatively: Too bad it wasn't a baked potato.

@trinsec You're welcome! Yeah, "throw it away" is probably the outcome.

@trinsec "Let's Go Brandon," "Joe Biden Sucks," etc.

What will people do with their "Brandon" flags/merch if neither Biden nor Trump is the next president of the US?

No one is completely ok on his or her own.

@trinsec I've heard the drought is natural, but exacerbated by human activity (particularly the Colorado River shortages and aquifer subsidence). People want quick and easy solutions, and it's even better if problems just go away. I raised the question today to encourage people to think in a different direction.
I'm sure New Vegas will be a lovely place to visit, if you can avoid the radscorpions.

@trinsec Depends on who you ask. I was listening to a radio report on the drought conditions in the American West, and they made the statement, "Don't let the recent rains deceive you." So often people look at short-term or one-off events and interpret them as long-term or part of a pattern. "It rained! The drought is over! We don't have to worry about the Colorado River or Lake Mead or whether Las Vegas is going to be inhabitable in 100 years!"
