Did anyone really think that "the Truth about Trump/Epstein" would surface when Bill and Hillary Clinton were deposited by the Congressional sub-sub-committee so-and-so? LOL.

John the Baptist: resurrected?
More on Jesus and the resurrection. Sequel to the recent blog posts on the topic.
How likely was it that Jews would have expected an executed Messiah-pretender to have been resurrected? How would they have interpreted visionary experiences of a dead person? In other words, how unique was the resurrection belief in context of 1st century Judaism in Palestine?
Christian apologists Craig and Wright suggest it was unique, but "Skeptical Agnostic" begs to disagree. Interesting!
Ignoble lies
Influential evangelical-fundamentalist Church leader John MacArthur (who recently passed away) was apparently a "mental health denialist". He didn´t believe ADHD, OCD, PTSD or depression were real things?! Or, to be more precise, he seems to have believed they were forms of negative thinking you can somehow out-God away (or out-Church away).
For some time now, I´ve been baffled by the fact that many conservative Christians in the affluent West seem unaware of things such as autism or flatly deny it. Obviously, if people like MacArthur were preaching against the very concept of mental illness, that´s part of the explanation.
Maybe this is a case of "positive thinking" and some kind of Christian or Protestant perfectionism coupled with the American craving for success in this world. Of course, there might also be a (perhaps legitimate) worry that Big Pharma and Big Shrink just wants to sell you their shit for profit and hence over-medicate. Or over-charge you for lifelong therapy?
Still, the outright mental illness denialism in these clips doesn´t strike me as a very good solution to the problem...
True conspiracy
I´m not a big fanboy of John MacArthur, but this joke is actually funny. And who knows, maybe it´s even true!
Apokalypsis
I just saw a triumphalist Christian video pointing out that Muslim birth rates are falling. Which isn´t even true, since they are still far above replacement level in many Muslim nations. Now, do Christian nations...
Exactly.

Hur ska man tolka det här? Att SVT öppet tar ställning för regeringens mest kontroversielle minister, eller vad? Ha ha, nu kommer anmälningarna att hagla stenhårt. Valkampanjen senare i år kanske blir väldigt intressant, trots allt...

So the French left cracks anti-Semitic jokes, while their far right condemns anti-Semitism? The world is literally insane...
Dreyfus, something something.
CIA syndrome
A real conspiracy in the making? Did the CIA buy a secret Russian weapon, enhanced it and tested it on site in Cuba? You know, against the US embassy staff...
