Thank you @BernieSanders for saying this as a Jewish politician.

I’ve got number of theological quibbles with this clip, but can you imagine what evangelicalism would be like if more pastors said this?

Killing children is evil.
On October 7… 14 children were killed by Hamas. Each one of those kids was made in the image of God.
In the 130 days since October 7, over 12,300 children have been killed in Gaza.
That’s an average of 95 children per day, massacred by the State of Israel. Each one of those kids was made in the image of God.
Every life in Gaza is just as precious as every life in Israel. And every person killed in Gaza is just as offensive as every person killed in Israel.
May we never stop being outraged by the slaughter of children. We will not build a peaceful world by killing other people’s kids.
Ceasefire now.

“If Jesus were born today, he would be born under the rubble in Gaza” - @MuntherIsaac
Watch the whole service “Christ under the Rubble: A Liturgy of Lament” here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbHzqU…

Today we released this original image by @KLICONS — created this week. It's inspired by our friends in Bethlehem who placed Christ under the rubble this Christmas in honor of the lives lost in Gaza. When asked where God is as Gaza is being bombed, @MuntherIsaac said: "God is under the rubble." We are now raising funds that will go to support families in Gaza -- for each gift of $100 or more we will send you a signed copy of this limited edition print of “Christ in the Rubble,” signed by Kelly Latimore. Here's the link to give at @RedLetterXians:

***Special Announcement***
We will be broadcasting LIVE from Bethlehem in the West Bank on December 23: “Christ In the Rubble” with Munther Isaac presiding.
@RedLetterXians is proud to be among the organizations helping to make this happen.
Here’s all the info:
This Advent, while global Christians prepare to commemorate the arrival of the Prince of Peace, our Palestinian kin in Gaza suffer unthinkable violence. Their cries for deliverance, echoing those of two millennia ago, seem to be falling unheard in the United States.
To see their pain and hear their cries, we must move beyond information to transformation…from webinar to worship.
On December 23rd, we are joining forces in solidarity to simulcast a live worship gathering guided by Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac and his team at Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem. Central to this liturgy of lament will be their prophetic message that if Jesus was born today, he would be born "under the rubble."
This event will be simulcast LIVE on Global Immersion’s social media channels, so we invite you to mark your calendars and participate with loved ones as a part of your Advent experience. If your congregation or organization would like to become a part of the simulcast team, we welcome your partnership and invite you to take that next step here:

The Wire Problem
You may have heard of Information Overwhelm, but have you heard of Wire Anxiety? This term, only a few minutes old, attempts to describe how all the junky wires we get with every electronic device are causing unneeded anxiety.
There are two tricks to immediately solve The Wire Problem and provide instant relief.
1. Wrap each wire with a rubber band so the ends are facing the same side. (This allows for reliable at-a-glance recognition).
You may have already known that one (bravo), but moments ago, I discovered the next trick, which surely ranks up there with Newton's laws and Einstein's theories...
2. Bundle similar kinds of wires together.
Now, instead of thumbing through messy drawers of wires, I can just grab one of the ten(!) USB-to-MicroUSB cables I have bundled together.
The added benefit of bundling wires is that you know if you have multiples of the same type of connection, or if that's your only one (like my USB-C-to-Apple-Watch).
Perfect for normal use, even better when packing for a trip.
This solves "The Wire Problem"

Everyone is worth Christ’s sacrifice. It is not for us to say otherwise. Even the person we may disagree with the most is worthy of His redemptive act of love at the cross.

In Christendom, we tell/convince people they're going to hell, and offer them Christ's salvation as an ultimatum. In post-Christendom, we listen to people, and when the pain of already living in hell becomes evident, we offer Christ's salvation that frees, restores, heals them.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. YES, BIDEN AND TRUMP ARE BOTH MESSED UP. But I still see a big big difference in the way Biden leads, the way he treats people, the way he leads his life (and faith), the policies he stands for, versus Trump. And I strongly prefer democracy over autocracy.

Why are fewer people attending church, and why do some feel dissatisfied with it?
Perhaps the answer lies in refocusing the church on its true purpose—to be a community that helps us commune with God rather than merely a venue for entertainment or self-help advice.

My reply to someone who asked for thoughts on their unfinished novel about AI.
- Your AI's anthropomorphic motivations arise from nowhere; humanlike emotions and psychology are not a natural default that spontaneously pops up.
-- You have generally failed to understand Hume's razor, and what is a question of fact versus a question of preference.
- Your programmers are able to make the AI do sort of what they want; in real life the AI's motivations would just end up bearing no understandable relation to what the programmers; any more than you could, without seeing humans, start from the idea of "reproductive fitness" and end up concluding that they'd like frozen ice cream but not melted ice cream.
- Your world's economics are completely unrealistic and depict one sort of AI being able to do one sort of thing without any grasp of how the world would arrive at a new equilibrium after that.
-- You specifically seem to believe in a lump of labor fallacy where people just end up lastingly unemployed after one category of work experiences higher productivity. There's plenty of things for human beings to do in your world.
- Your AIs stay at the same level of intelligence for an unrealistically long time rather than a new version coming out every 3 months like in real life.
- Any AI actually as smart as you claim that one is would destroy humanity as a side effect.
- The dramatic battle you depict with a malevolent superintelligence is an absurdity; a real AI would wipe the board on its first strike or wait and avoid alerting any humans to the existence of any problem until it could do that.
- A genuine AI would not talk to humans at all, especially to justify itself, unless that action served a purpose.
- You utterly fail at depicting the actions or reasoning of something supposedly smarter than you are. It's not just dumber than me, it's making mistakes obvious to an average reader.
Obviously I haven't read the book at all, just guessing here.
