Michael M @bedwyr.bsky.social · 8hBut the SBC? It ought to dissolve. I cannot see a way back into anything holy if it can’t gain escape velocity from its origins. Every time I’ve seen it try to reform*, the people who *want* slaveholder theology and power reassert themselves. It’s broken. *I grew up SBC. I know of what I speak. 340
Michael M @bedwyr.bsky.social · 8hSo my most controversial take is that evangelicalism should cease to be a concept. Spiritually I think it’s a failed state and we’d be better off with a reassertion of denominations and better ecclesiology. 100

Michael M @bedwyr.bsky.social · 13hHoly Post discussed this Wednesday. They came down firmly on disapproval (laudable). But I think the time is long past ripe that public SBC figures get shunned for this. Unserious fascist adjacent behavior doesn’t need to be taken seriously or disagreed with. It needs to be opposed as perverted. 010

Michael M @bedwyr.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Computer science is the art of automation. At its most banal, it's all about optimizing better and that attracts a certain mindset that views solving an automation problem with the satisfaction someone might watch a model train set chuffing around the room.
