My new book, BACKSLIDE, is out today.
We are now living in a democratically backslidden nation, abetted by an apostate white Christianity. The question is, “How shall we live today to avoid painful future regret?”

We here in the Bible belt just set our expectations for outsiders and those of other faiths a bit lower, and say, "bless their heart, they just weren't raised up right." 😂
No excuses for me, though. I mostly keep my beliefs, or lack of, to myself and let everyone assume I'm just backslidden.

The 8 or 9 days I spent offline and away from social media may not have been a panacea, but I really don't consider they did me any harm
And the moment I returned I felt I had backslidden
Food for thinking

Anyone who voted for trump and supports him still is a putrid backslidden unAmerican domestic traitor.... Sooo maybe those of jewish faith/descent decided that being a self hating jew in trumps eyes was better than being a domestic traitor.... And they took it....

Umm. No.. i broke my brainwashing! I am no wolf disguised as sheep and i dont follow fake Antichrists as Christ very clearly warned of...
You are the one who needs to search your soul. You are no follower of Christ. You are the lukewarm backslidden man whom god will deny he knows at the gates!

I wasn't afraid of the rapture until I remembered that under Evangelical dogma, all the backslidden, recovering former fundie kids get taken too which means we lose SEVERAL of our current best musical artists.

I've been operating from the belief that the Court was going to try to save Trump's sorry ass, again. And of course, every Republican is looking to help him. And democracy has backslidden more over the past year than at any time since 1789. AND democratic backsliding needs to be stopped quickly.
The GOP Supreme Court That Gave Us Trump Will Now Try to Save His Sorry Ass
The 'logroll' of interests that want to end the Civil Rights Era just happens to be fine with a dictator, as long as he’s Republican.

But we are no longer a democracy. We've backslidden into an autocracy and Congress enabled it. They are too cowardly to say no.

(1) deliverance of those in captives of their sinful nature, (2) reawakening of those deceived into a state of spiritual slumber and complacency, and (3) great mercy for those who have backslidden to repent and return to the way of truth.

I was surprised on campus yesterday to see a few looking much more like this than the smudges to which I am accustomed. Grew-up backslidden Unitarian, so always very aware of others’ religion-adjacent presentations of self.

As backslidden as I am I still hold to the core Baptist belief that anyone can be saved. So I’m not calling them irredeemable.
But at this moment they are very far from God.
