I honestly don't think the Jesus Culture thing is gonna work as well in the age of Snapchat as it did back in the 90s so this is going to be especially weird and horrible. Like teaching abstinence only education is going to have a hard time fighting the amount of porn on tumblr. A lot of cultural tension waiting to happen.

NYT's D.C. bureau reporter is confirming that Falwall met with Trump today and is a finalist for DOE. Remember when I said that Michelle Rhee would actually be the best we could hope for from Trump and the fact that she didn't get it meant someone even more monstrous would become Secretary?

Obama's speech about Ellen at that medal ceremony was pretty good, but drat if the moment itself didn't have the hanging spectre of a Donald Trump presidency.

quote:Mr Falwell has said higher education has to “get back to the basics of teaching” and eschew the “ivory tower” mentality that has led to “salaries that are out of this world”. "The Washington Post, Highest-Paid University Presidents posted:In Virginia, the highest-paid private university leader was Jerry Falwell Jr. As president of Liberty University in Lynchburg, his compensation was $900,000.

I'm pretty sure he's well versed in hypocrisy at this point in his life, being a Falwell and all. Also, why not make Ben Carson surgeon general or head of HHS? At least that would make tangential sense.

Nonsense posted:How long has the over-time rule been dead because of that federal judge? Just today or was this old news? You're right. And here I was worried Americans might get angry with Republicans rolling it back. Its so much easier to have nothing to roll back in the first place.

So they're natural allies. e: OTOH the two populations do overlap and it gets really, really bad when they do, if you really hate yourself check out the antipozi subreddit sometime. They're so bad reddit's actually "quarantined" them which I think just means they don't get their ad servers on the line angry about ads showing up on neonazi subreddits Quorum fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Nov 23, 2016 |

The whole Jesus Class thing doesn't really fly with Today's Youth.

I always assumed they were mostly just interested in racism, not teaching creationism in schools or any of the jesus culture warrior poo poo I think you can argue that Racism and Evangelism have a higher than chance coincidence, but there's still a lot of spread in that regard. A lot of Christians denounce racism; if you actually follow the book it's pretty hard to find a way to justify it. On the other hand, there are lots of fundamentalists that think cherry-picking bible verses is all they need to justify a terrible belief. Cherrypickers are about the only Christians that can justify that kind of stuff because you have to be able to not cherrypick other pretty obvious verses like: Leviticus 19:33-34 NASB posted:When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.
