Got a Tweetstorm building abt progressive Christians' insistence Jesus's death narrative = he was killed for offending religious leaders (even w evidence to the contrary) and it's not going to do any good but it won't leave my brain alone.

Oh boy do Inhave thoughts, which I’ll detail later.
In short, this feels like par for the course with Brooks. I’m happy he’s happy, but this seems on track for a guy who always seemed surprised when he had an emotion.

Hoping @delafina777.bsky.social has something to say about David Brooks's column today. I find it, like so much of his work, verbose but without clarity or substance. It's like he's been waiting for a Xian awakening, but Jews don't have that obedience to authority he was looking for.
Opinion | The Shock of Faith: It’s Nothing Like I Thought It Would Be (Gift Article)
The word “faith” implies the possession of something, whereas I experience faith as a yearning for something beautiful that I can sense but not fully grasp.

Because of a gentleman named Jeremiah Vance who insisted that the Hebrew word for "frog" (tzfardea) is the same as the word for the group of Jews that moved to Spain (sephardim).

I think there’s a significant problem with how Christians in general understand the parables, & how Christian clergy tend to preach them. Parables get treated like they’re Aesop’s fables: allegories that have a single, straightforward moral.

it's not about performing great, spontaneous charitable acts because something moves you emotionally
