On March 10th, Pete Hegseth invoked Psalm 144, quoting "Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle," as a way of framing the war in Iran.
This is not only a clear violation of the separation of church and state, it is using the Bible to divinely sanction the violence of the state. The history of political rules using scripture this way is long and bloody.
Everyone should oppose this.
Especially in light of all those school children that were killed.
Woe to those who take the name of God upon their lips while their bombs fall on children.

We interrupt this Lenten fast to celebrate the feast of Chester’s Nativity. 5 yrs ago today we learned that our puppy had come into the world….though it would be two And half months before we would get to meet him. Happy Birthday little guy. We love you ❀️🐢

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

A wise administration wouldn’t start another war in the Middle East.

A competent administration wouldn’t bomb an elementary school full of children on day 1 of the war they started.

They are neither.

It’s amazing the number of people who want to tell us that extremely complex and impressive math-based machine models, analyzing patterns of language and creating work product from that in an impressive manner and that react to path-dependence, are creating new knowledge with a creative conscious.

A nation that calls itself a β€œChristian nation” cuts healthcare and food assistance for millions of people, yet instantly funds wars without question.

Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, and told Peter to put his sword away.

May we understand the hypocrisy.

The rapture is not in the Bible.

The rapture is not present in Christianity before the 19th century.

The rapture makes for dangerous theology and foreign policy.

The rapture needs to become a resoundingly opposed sentiment.
