There really are 10,000 ways to say F@&k you. One is to use the word “hydronyms” as demonstrated today by Prime Minister Carney.

Hegseth Invokes Divine Purpose to Justify Military Might

Todd Wiebe 🇨🇦 @toddw7.bsky.social · 22/06/2025
A family member used to joke, “I hate violence. If you use violence, I’ll kill you.” Clearly Trump would not have understood the joke. Demanding peace after a military strike might indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of peace. As might threatening violence if violence is not acquiesced.

So - investigations into those who radicalize people like Minnesota shooter to become terrorists? Lance Wallnau and others who use terms like “demonic” to refer to democrats. Clearly there is such a thing as evangelical terrorism. Hucksters and grifters posing as spiritual leaders.

In Toronto at a Housing/Church Redevelopment conference. Great neighbourhood walk with Jason Byassee of Timothy Eaton Church. Fancy fancy area. Earlier coffee with recording artist Shad. He pointed out a church in his neighbourhood that is attached to a strip club. Notice the name of the club.

Moral rigidity is always hiding something. Moral outrage is often a form of public confession. How often do abusers like this constantly holler about the sin of other people?

If Christians in America were truly honest with ourselves, we would admit that far too many churches have become places where people are made to be disciples of the Religious Right rather than followers of Jesus and then we would collectively repent from this harmful allegiance.

It's so odd that Christian Nationalists are trying to stomp out *pretend* "anti-Christian bias" when their repudiation of everything Jesus ever said is the biggest example of *real* "anti-Christian bias" in the United States right now.

I recall that earl in his pontificate, Pope Francis said that moral rigidity is always hiding something. My Orthodox friend David Goa says similarly that moral outrage is a form of public confession. May we listen to voices like these, rather than to self-appointed moral gatekeepers.

Fox News just now: “He has passed away and the liberal Catholic movement is passing away with him. Young people know the truth. They believe that doctrine is love as Pope Benedict said.” My hope is that Christianity is known to be like Francis, not like JD Vance and others hungry for power.

Followers of Jesus … Some might remember that Jesus said “Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything else comes from the evil one.” So - king Donald and on again off again tariffs? And yet they line up behind him. Such a business genius is he. Jesus clearly had it wrong.
