For many years, I have dealt with Christians who have never read a single chapter of the Bible, yet insist "I know what it says." The fact is, they have no idea what is in that book and most of what they claim is there is actually either misconstrued, misinterpreted, or nonexistent.

Ask a Christian why there are two entirely different -- and non-reconcilable -- stories of Noah's Ark, two creation stories, two covenant stories.

A very informative read.

I often hear so-called #Evangelicals who HATED #JimmyCarter (who taught Sunday School and built homes for the homeless), and SWOON over #TheOrangeMenace (a #racist, #sexist, serial #adulterer #billionaire #conman who responded to the question: "Have you asked God for forgiveness?" responded: "Why? I've done nothing wrong.")

@georgetakei I'm starting to believe that this kind of discourse is actually harmful. Much like the cruelty being the point, the hypocrisy is also the point. Pointing it out strengthens them.
We need to disrupt their ability to do harm, not wag our fingers at them.
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
