Oddbean new post about login | logout What about it is woke?
Wokeness has infected many churches. Probably because wokeness is similar to Christianity just without any of the redemption or forgiveness or tradition etc… you know all the things that make Christianity a fundamentally good thing.
It is the duty of the Christian in the congregation to know the Bible and hold the pastor accountable to the Word. Solo scriptura.
Ya interesting. I’ve been going to a local Christian church for about a year. Overall, I like the balance they strike, but there’s some things about Christian culture that I’m not a huge fan of, but I’m new to it too 🤷 I haven’t picked up on any wokeness though. If anything, the guys and families we’ve met are very aligned in non woke values and thinking.
Since the 1970s revival, western churches have elected to pander to culture while trying to balance Christian doctrine. I prefer the East.
in bigger cities its tough to even find a church without a pride flag. In Denver at least. Disgusting to think the church is embracing sexuality. Anyone's sexuality is thier own business, why would deviant sexuality be something to ever acknowledge let alone celebrate? 🙃
Yes the bible is clear on the subject, it's also true that in polite society people don't sit around talking about their sexuality, deviates for the most part are the only ones in your face about sexual preference and acceptance. Personally I am a lot more excepting if you keep it to your self cause I really don't care and I don't want to hear about it. Go be you with people like you kind of thing.
Ya, that’s interesting. I’m in a mega woke state, so I’m honestly surprised I haven’t ran into it yet. We’re a good distance out of the metro though
