There is no substitute for critical thinking. Gather and process relevant information. Be honest with yourself about what makes sense and is verifiable. Make choices you can explain logically. Be willing to challenge and adjust your positions. This is good human behavior.

My Idaho city’s in the national news today for shameful and disgusting behavior of local folks toward NCAA tournament participants. This is no aberration or mistake. It is a reflection of the attitudes held by folks who see our state as a white utopia. They must not win.

My dear friend lost his life to COVID today. He was not vaccinated. I'm struggling with grief and anger at the same time. If you actively argue against this life-saving gift of science, my anger is focused right at you. Stop. Please friends get vaccinated. Now.

@jblairsanders I remain a registered Republican because anything else in my state is disenfranchised, but definitely vote Democrat when I have options. I find this utterly consistent with my faith. When I was growing up, such a choice was never questioned in the context of faith.

Fascism is very hard to fight because the early stages are always populist. I spent decades puzzling over the rise of fascist dictators in the 1930s, especially how Christians could allow it. Now I understand that it's Christians that cause the movement to coalesce to viability.
