I'm torn on this because my experience of God when receiving the word and sacrament in my old christofascist church was the direct cause of my leaving it. Because of this I've since felt that God could extend his grace even to unlikely places and unworthy people.

I stopped at Adam Hamilton’s church’s booth at PrideFest earlier this year. The volunteers told me that approval for the booth required some discussion but was eventually worked out. I’m curious if his centrist messaging will also slip into the same Democrat transphobia we’ve seen this month.

Happy Lord’s Day. Reminder that “Christians” who segregate trans people in any way, shape, or form reject the Incarnate Word himself. See you in church.

Perhaps ironically, my experience with rural midwestern christofascists is why I feel so strongly about the importance of spiritual formation, faith, and metanoia.

They create counterfeit versions of all these things as a psychological release, not as a good-faith belief system. I was completely immersed in this environment for 25 years; I can promise you that these folks do not engage with real arguments on these fronts.

Once again reminding you that the foundational philosophy of GOP voters is that white men are superior humans and that anyone who threatens this hierarchy, immigrants, LGBT folks, etc. should be subjugated or eradicated. They don’t care about economics, politics, or even religion as it turns out.

Do you see the question of who is a true Christian differently based on social vs. “theological” context? i.e. analyzing the historical legibility of the concept of a “Christian nation” seems different than a faith tradition working out what speech/action is acceptable based on some standard

We need to talk about how good MLB.tv is. We've essentially achieved the platonic ideal of "pay one fee and then watch all the sports." I've watched more baseball this year than the rest of my life combined. Type of product that instantly makes the rest of the industry look outdated.

What does the DC construction boom have to do with AI? When a company wants to put AI in their product (which they’re all doing) they aren’t using off-the-shelf Claude. They choose a base AI “foundation model” and customize it with their data (“fine-tuning”). Fine-tuning is compute-intensive.

for apps hosted on the internet: social networks, AI chatbots, enterprise management platforms, etc. the companies who make the apps don’t own the physical hardware that runs them; they rent it and deploy their software. The DC is where that hardware actually exists. source: I’m a software engineer

Most citations of him, depending on the context, will say like “Gregory, also known for his trinitarian theology, had such and such to say about the human image of God” or vice versa. But maybe we don’t want to partition one individual’s thinking quite so decisively!

110

cavitae @cavitae.net · 13/07/2026

I think further investigation could help unify Gregory’s theological anthropology with his work on the Holy Spirit as a ground for trans theology on trinitarian orthodoxy. Currently these two streams from his thought don’t have much cross-influence that I’m aware of.

This mutated state is why I don’t really like implicitly associating them with the word “euangelion”, or even “conservative” or “fundamentalist”, and nowadays tend to just use “nationalist” or “fascist”.

Is Ricoeur the only exception to this? I can’t think of any others who operate from a Reformed perspective.

Regarding the discourse of whether Jesus had a 6-pack and loved trillionaires, I've seen a few takes claiming that if we were "real" Christians we'd police our own extremists and publicly condemn such statements. May I present for your consideration: pres-outlook.org/2026/07/pcus...

So once again he demonstrates the robustness of his theological anthropology rooted in his expansive understanding of the imago dei, IMO not a coincidence that it's the same principle underlying his anti-slavery sermon and also his discussions of gender which continue to influence trans theology.

"If, therefore, you wash off by a good life the filth that has been stuck on your heart like Plaster, the Divine Beauty will again shine forth in you." And these assertions of “within yourselves” and “in you” he derives from, you guessed it, that “the Divine Image is formed in us.” classic Gregory

And he elaborates in his sermon on Matt 5:8! "when you hear that the Divine Majesty is exalted above the heavens...its Nature inaccessible, do not despair of ever beholding what you desire. It is indeed within your reach; you have within yourselves the standard by which to apprehend the Divine."

there’s a level at which I agree with this but at another level I read the bible and the god who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and who loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing seems pretty fundamental so idk

I was listening to Barth’s Warfield lectures and became sad that the term “evangelical Christian” nowadays often refers to a religion that has little to do with the euangelion of Christ.

cavitae @cavitae.net · 25/06/2026

Also if your takeaway is nothing more than “love everyone,” then Christianity is a waste of time. Plenty of people love their neighbors and have never interacted with church, the bible, the sacraments, etc. You can just be a moral person and sleep in on Sunday mornings!

020

cavitae @cavitae.net · 25/06/2026

I think a principle like “Jesus basically taught us to love everyone” is a crucial theological result but a wildly inadequate theological norm. Every christofascist I’ve encountered sincerely affirms this; they just go on to say that being gay is harmful so it’s loving to prohibit it.

Mumford & Sons singlehandedly crushed this entire group of scenes, in my experience as a college student during this period. I watched Underoath and MxPx listeners pick up mandolins and banjos; not an exaggeration.
