I somehow stumbled into a private Slack where “theobro” evangelicals were discussing “theology.” Wild, y’all. Just wild. Lots of talk about “worldviews”, “truth”, and — surprisingly — “authority.” Oddly enough, God doesn’t really come up that much. 🤦‍♂️

@marmanold bruh, do you even Christendom? Let's slam some espressos at the church coffee shop and tell people how terrible they are and how God thinks they are maggots but is gonna let it slide if he puts them in their heart. The good news!

@toddgrotenhuis Right?!? Their “discussion” on “CRT” was cringe. This morning they’re discussing a faux-philosophical article discussing why you don’t really have to be empathetic. Wild.

@marmanold @toddgrotenhuis I've heard this whole "empathy is bad, sympathy is good" theological discussion. It strikes me as a real "strain a gnat" discussion.

@frostedechoes I think you may well be right. I thought Phil Vickers equation with Gnosticism was astute.
