Theology That Bites Back
This category contains the resources that I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Admittedly, it is an eclectic list. It contains everything from quotes and books that I like to podcasts, videos, and slideshows.
Introduction: At the end of last month, I posted a thread of eleven comments on what I was there calling Hell-no-nationalism. It stirred the pot significantly, garnering almost 300K looks, and if we ...
Dear Gavin, Thanks for the nudge. We apparently got distracted from our task. Your letter reminded me that we still have a considerable amount of ground to get to. So we already covered how it is okay to be white. Radical, I know. People who are white should be grateful to God for it, but …
Introduction: I would like to take a moment, dear reader, to explain why ranked-choice-voting is a really bad idea.
