The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The editor of Christianity Today is warning that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right,
to the point that even Jesus's teachings are considered "liberal" and "weak" now.


Decades ago someone (Stewart Brand maybe?) said that Christianity was a 'slave religion'. It arose from people under the thumb of an Imperial Rome. For two millennia it has been used by the powerful to control the masses. As has been the purpose of most religions.

At least New Testament Christianity had much that was hopeful and positive to offer. Now it is being turned again into a tool of the ruling class to control the weak minded, the MAGAs, the QAnoner's, etc.
