Husband, father, and die-hard lover of Minneapolis. I'm an evangelist who believes Christianity should always be about Jesus, not political ideology, morality, or cultural movements.
@tuckfrump it shouldn't be remarkable to see a baptist pastor call this out so clearly, but it is.
An old pastor acquaintance of mine in MN has a podcast with a similar tone and content, and it's very good.

#DontForgetTo return those tapes to Blockbuster.
#dontforgetto talk to your kids about drugs. And skibidi toilet. Both equally harmful to them.
@bobthetraveler fun fact: Nureyev's appearance on the Muppet Show was a turning point in the show. Nureyev's appearance greatly boosted the show's reputation, and the Muppets never struggled to book another guest star after that.
@twcau it's just that -- a front. It's a collective agreement between people who are insecure about both their manhood and their relationship to God, reverting to a tactic that will help neither.
Authorities arrest suspect in killing of top Minnesota lawmaker https://t.co/JcYzFa3VHN
@FrontPagesBot really Slate magazine? Iran and Israel are starting a war with each other, our president held a military parade for his birthday, hundreds of thousands protested him around the country, two MN lawmakers were shot, LAPD unleashed rubber bullets on a peaceful protest, and your top story is about your dad's freezer?
@levelbot not according to Kendrick Lamar.
Okay, I guess there is evidence this guy is a #christiannationalist . #christianity

@EricAlper the original Woodstock. I know, technically that counts as many concerts, but I'd unashamedly use the loophole in this question to transport myself to 1969.
This is a natural progression of #christiannationalism. While no info confirms the shooter espouses this ideology, the notion that Christians should dominate all areas of society to usher in God's kingdom would naturally lead to and approve violence against perceived opponents. This shooting is a victory for Christian nationalists.
Thankfully #Jesus did things differently.
If you want to watch a caricature-ish fake #prophet - Barry Wunsch is loads of laughs. Watching actual #christian people ripping this guy apart is both satisfying and what the #church should be doing.
"So how did you get into Classical Music?"
Me:
Mr. Owl, how many licks DOES it take?
@retronika I'm sorry you feel that way. I really hope whatever is next in your path leads you to finding value in life and yourself. Thank you for being willing to be so vulnerable to all of us.
@EricAlper Polish Girl by Neon Indian. Synth heavy indie music from the early 2010s. For all the looks of confusion and disinterest I've gotten over that, I'm still proud.
@EricAlper of course, if you have a name like Hiland Overgaard, this is also easy to do.
@bobthetraveler Freleng was distinctively one of the best directors of the Bugs Bunny cartoons. He's been gone a while but left quite a legacy.
@Dylan_Guizor_Splatoon I'm sorry to hear this. I've been there before myself, and it turns out so have way more people than I thought. I won't try to "fix" you, but I really hope you make it through this time of dark thoughts and find a way of seeing your value in this beautiful but insane tapestry of humankind.
@georgetakei Jefferson Davis, I'm guessing.
