Thank you for clearly defining the current reality. I have been blessed and supported by my pastor when I needed to leave my 30 years abusive marriage. I will be writing a book to help others realize what emotional abuse is and the many vices that Satan uses to keep us distracted and feeling hopeless to fulfill God's purpose for our individual lives.

Extremism on either side of the spectrum is destructive.

I agree with most of what you said. However, you're a bit more charitable toward the "Theobros" than I am. Though I try to assume the best, over time, it's become clear that some of them are just bullying wolves who cloak themselves in sheep's clothing.

These jerkface theobros keep showing up to comment on my articles when I write something about women. They have so much more to say about how women should behave than female readers. It's incredibly annoying as my articles weren't even meant for them. I write to try o reach non-Christians who might be feeling the call to faith. But these guys just couldn't leave things be. They can't agree to disagree. They have to have the last word. At first I tried to be courteous but I've learned it's pointless. If any nones stumble upon my articles relating to the subject of women in Christianity, I'm sure these jerkface theobros' comments are enough to scare them off, wasting my efforts writing.

Wow. Very thankful you wrote this. I’ve been grieving over this for a while.

This single aphorism characterizes both the woke right and the woke left:

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs—but sometimes you break the eggs and forget the omelet.

These conservatives need to focus on their discusting allegiance to our first authoritarian President. They

are not Christian. They are fools. Anyone who allies themselves with this charlatan will deserve all that comes with dealing with evil. No hyperbole.
