  1. Likelihood of DTJr having never read a book cover to cover is about the same as the likelihood of Satan running around quoting the Scriptures.

    Watching my daughter at gymnastics is great fun. On the other hand, the manner in which gymnastics strengthens her whole body convinces me that, in a few years, she could punch me thru the floor to the other side of the earth if she so desired.

    3/ To say “I’m a Conservative Christian” or “I’m a Progressive Christian” means nothing when the modifier is the rudder that steers the ship. You’re saying you’ve submitted your faith in God to outside forces & ideologies that know nothing of it except how to control/manipulate.

    A thread. I’m not sure that Twitter is the right medium for this, but here goes (I’ll delete if anyone thinks it is inappropriate). Good theology is intended to stop us from thinking and speaking idolatrously of God, of considering God in terms that project nasty human values.

    This says an awful lot about our treatment of asylum seekers/refugees. Families say "they feared the facilities at the [X]mas Island immigration detention centre were not child friendly," and so are willing to take their chances with instead. Stunning. Sad.

    If does a 2nd ed of "Reading the Gospels Wisely" (& I hope he does; it's brilliant!), I trust he will update the Blockbuster illustration to Netflix (p. 47). 😉 How times have changed in just 7–8 years... Seriously though, this is such an excellent read. Thx JTP!

    Heck of a paragraph from George Packer on the courage it takes to write in today's increasingly polarised world; especially when it comes to politics and religion. And doubly so when dealing on social media.

    Could it get me ratioed on Twitter?—that writer’s words will soon become lifeless. A writer who’s afraid to tell people what they don’t want to hear has chosen the wrong trade.

    A writer can still write while hiding from the thought police. But a writer who carries the thought police around in his head, who always feels compelled to ask: Can I say this? Do I have a right? Is my terminology correct? Will my allies get angry? Will it help my enemies?

    It doesn’t matter if you hold impeccable views, or which side of the political divide you’re on: Fear breeds self-censorship, [which] is more insidious than the state-imposed kind, because it’s a surer way of killing the impulse to think, which requires an unfettered mind.

    [I]f writers are afraid of the sound of their own voice, then honest, clear, original work is not going to flourish, and without it, the politicians and tech moguls and TV demagogues have less to worry about.
