CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

We need to care about others and help our communities, without expecting that help in return.

So, all that out of the way, are others thinking the same things? Are there those that don't call themselves Christian or anything else that thinks the same?

Or are we alone in this? 🧵

no idols, because humans are capable of making gods.

We believe that people who haven't heard the Gospel aren't doomed to hell. We believe that the best thing a human can do is to create things and love unconditionally.

We are stewards of the planet and need to take care of it, but not worship it🪡

and the modern Western church. We see a lot of harm being done.

We both are of the opinion that humans are the sole creatures on earth with the ability to create, meaning that we make things just to make them. Not just tools, but art and random things.

This is why God gave the command to make 🪡

Bit of a #Religion and #Spirituality question for everyone.

Context: wife and I are Christian, raised Church of Christ/ICOC and Southern Baptist specifically.

We are both struggling with this idea that we aren't actually Christians, mostly because we disagree so whole heartedly w/ Evangelicalism 🪡

#AllObeyTheHypnoWorrt

A psychedelic background with a Star Wars frog called a Worry (which has some latent psychic abilities). The frogs eyes are also psychedelic, mimicking the Hypno toad meme.

Text in black Aurebesh reads "Rise Resist Ribbet" (Yes, I misspelled Ribbit)

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger.

The answer is empathy and compassion.

Nothing wrong with that. Anyone that thinks their tabletop game is canon is... probably having some other problems.

One of the most commonly-misunderstood things about "Disney Adults" is our feelings towards Disney executives.

I have yet to encounter a "Disney Adult" who doesn't absolutely LOATHE Disney executives with every last fiber of their being. That's what happens when you do the research.
