Christian musician David Kushner is crashing out after facing backlash for repeatedly being smug toward atheists

Even other Christians are telling him he’s wrong and he’s in the comments telling them that they’re being concerning and that if they believed in the Bible they would be happy with him spreading the word of God. BEING SMUG TOWARD ATHEISTS IS NOT SPREADING THE GOSPEL!

And I’m not accusing him of anything, but to me; he’s giving very creepy and unsafe person energy in these Instagram stories of his.

I hit a one hundred day streak on the Bible app today! ☺️

I know it’s such a small thing. But I often struggle with staying consistent with reading the Bible regularly (I’m way behind on my reading plan for this year), but it’s nice to know that even on days where I didn’t read full chapters, I at least went into the app and read one verse every day for months now. It’s a small step, but it feels like a nice little accomplishment. 😌

Apparently the fundies feel persecuted by Coca-Cola now. I can’t with this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Like is it kind of weird for Coca-Cola to do that? Sure. Does it matter? No! We have real problems in the world to deal with!

I don’t really feel comfortable in this community anymore.

I wanted to talk about something that has changed how comfortable I feel in this community rather than just keeping it to myself.

I’ve really enjoyed being a small part of this community and watching the streams. (I know I’m not that close with any of you, so I’m not under any false impression that I’d be some big loss here.) But it has been a place I came to relax, laugh, and interact with people, which is why what happened the other night affected me as much as it did.

I criticized an OP for using the terms “high functioning/low functioning” and said they were saying it like a Nazi (because those terms are derived from Nazi Germany), and I should have just explained why I felt those terms were wrong to use instead of stating it that way, and I’m willing to acknowledge that. However, my underlying concern about those terms being reductive and harmful to autistic people was genuine.

What ultimately bothered me most wasn’t that people disagreed with me. It was that when I raised the concern, the response was to dismiss it as unimportant, tell me there were “bigger things to worry about,” call what I was saying “woke Karenism,” and laugh at me.

I don’t expect everyone here to agree with me about everything or coddle me, and I certainly don’t think I’m the ultimate authority on these issues. What I do expect from communities I participate in is a willingness to listen when someone raises a concern about language that affects a marginalized group, rather than immediately treating the person raising it as ridiculous for caring. Some of you were supportive and listened, but a lot of you, including Sarby, didn’t.

I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling like I have to swallow things that genuinely bother me in order to keep the peace or avoid being “too much.” I don’t want to keep doing that. I also don’t want to pretend that I’m completely comfortable here when I’m not.

I’m not posting this to restart the argument. I just wanted to speak honestly about where I’m at. This community has mattered to me, and that’s why I’m bothered that this interaction changed how I feel being here.

I’m not making some dramatic goodbye post or saying I’ll definitely never watch the streams again. I might continue to pop into lives now and then. But I’m very uncomfortable and disappointed with the way this was handled and with the attitude that concerns about language around neurodivergent people simply aren’t important enough to take seriously.

I don’t expect everyone to change their minds because I’m uncomfortable. I just don’t want to feel like I have to hide that discomfort or pretend everything is fine in order to belong here.

I wish everyone well, and I hope we can move forward with a little more thoughtfulness and respect for each other and for neurodivergent people.

Apparently the Great Commission now includes makeup sales. 🙃

Her caption under this video says “I love that Bible affirms the beauty of women and that our beauty is something to steward, celebrate and use to draw others to Christ. That's why @hopebeauty.co's Lip Reflects are all named after women of the Bible 💄🩷🦋”. And her slogan for her makeup brand is “Makeup with The Message | Designed to remind you of your worth”.

That’s funny, because I remember the bible saying not to judge people according to their appearance and that God tells Samuel that humans look at outward appearances, but "the Lord looks at the heart." But anything to make a sale, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I found a Bible verse on the packaging of my dog’s new probiotic. 🥹

For a while now my dog Gunner, who is my best friend in the world, has been having digestive and stool issues. He went to the vet in April and they didn’t give us any answers to the cause but gave us probiotics and antibiotics for him. For about a month after that he was in perfect health and feeling better than he had in a long time. Then after that he started having his digestive and stool issues again on and off and lately more frequently. So I picked out the same kind of probiotic the vet prescribed before, and upon looking over the packaging for information I saw that there was this Bible verse on the side of the box. Proverbs 12:10 says:
“The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.” (NIV) It feels a little bit like a God wink since I’ve been praying so hard for God’s help and healing for my sweet boy. I really hope these probiotics help. This obviously isn’t sponsored or anything, I just wanted to share a little positive thing that happened today that felt like it was from God.

Please pray for my sweet Gunner’s health and healing for his various medical issues if you don’t mind. He really means the world to me. I’d give my life for him. And he’s the sweetest, gentlest boy in the whole world. He deserves the best. And I just need him to be okay. I need him to be happy and healthy. 🤍

(SPOILERS) Euphoria being accused of being Christian propaganda was not on my 2026 bingo card. 😂

What do you all think?

P.S. SPOILERS for season 3 of Euphoria in the clip!

My 19-Year-Old Daughter Is Pregnant by My Former Fiancé

I still can’t believe I’m typing this.

My 19 year old daughter came home from college and told me she’s pregnant. When I asked who the father was, she refused to tell me for days. I thought it was someone married, a professor, or some other situation she was scared to explain. Turns out it’s my former fiancé. The man I was supposed to marry 20 years ago. He’s 43 now. Apparently they met at a coffee shop near her campus, started talking, began dating, and a few months later she got pregnant. The worst part is that he recognized her last name almost immediately and knew exactly who she was, but he never told her. He admitted he knew she was my daughter and continued seeing her anyway. Now they’re talking about moving in together and raising the baby. My daughter keeps saying she’s an adult and that they’re in love. I don’t want him back, that’s not the issue. I just cannot understand how a man who once planned a future with me is now having a child with my daughter. My family is completely divided and I honestly feel like I’m living in some kind of nightmare.

The Mormons are making ads asking people to dox themselves now? 🙃

This probably isn’t illegal, but it feels like it is. 😅

This poor girl seems sweet. I feel bad she got roped into this.

This woman is offended Billie Eilish called out meat eaters for not truly loving animals, so now she’s trying to link animal activism to rampant racism.

This is her caption under this video: “**ANIMAL RIGHTS MATTER. My diet is primarily vegetarian because I recognize the harm that the meat/dairy industries cause. My point is that HUMAN BEINGS are equally important** It feels like people are intentionally misconstruing my point about racists hiding behind their love of animals 🙄”

On Instagram many vegans and people of color and indigenous people commented on her reel telling her how she was wrong and this was a bad take. And I made a comment on her Instagram reel of this video simply saying she was wrong to try to make that correlation of animal advocacy to racism, and that she probably just didn’t like being held accountable, and that I was coming from the perspective of someone who actively speaks out against racism, so I would be unfollowing her. And she deleted the reel and blocked me. And her TikTok comment section of the video is much more sanitized, with far fewer people calling her out. So I’m guessing she’s deleting negative comments too. People like this are so hypocritical and pathetic.

Not Jacob Black spamming them with excited comments! 😂

Hopefully Candace doesn’t have too much influence over this baby. I don’t know too much about Natasha’s current faith and political standings, but I hope she’s not as extremist fundie as her mom. I hope for the best.

Tired of Dog Anti-Vaxxers Acting Like They Know Better Than Vets

Someone in her comment section nicely asked her what her credentials were to give this advice because they were genuinely curious and she clapped back with “it's my social media account so I'm giving my opinion? Feel free to scroll and listen to your traditional vet 🙌”.

So not only is she spreading harmful misinformation, she can’t even give anyone a made up reason to justify it and she’s falsely perpetuating it as “an opinion”. People like this are pathetic and despicable. Animals have the right to proper health care. And that shouldn’t be allowed to be taken away based on an owner’s willful ignorance!

Last I heard, they were moving to a different rental house, but then I keep seeing that they moved in with Morgan’s parents? Why? Have they actually talked about it or they’re just expecting everyone to go along with it quietly? And don’t her parents live in a different area than Paul and Morgan did? I’m so confused.

Oh, and why is Morgan suddenly obsessed with fitness?

Imagine using your platform to smugly accuse someone who actually and publicly practices their faith well also using their power to defend the marginalized and oppressed of not being a real Christian, but not saying a single word against the child predator and sexual assaulter that’s in the Oval Office and calls himself a Christian.

I commented on her video saying; “You're crying about it happening to you, but think about how the fish feel when you injure them like that and then throw them back to live with it or just straight up murder them. You are not the victim here, you're the perpetrator. Stop crying.” And someone else had the audacity to reply; “OK and a fish isn't human. Fish and animals were made for people to eat. You think you're so tough writing about somebody not supposed to be crying when they have a literal hook inside of their head. If it was you you know goddamn well you'll be bawling your eyes out don't act so tough. You are very sick in the head and you should get some help.”. So I told them “The reaction you're having is basically the point. You immediately recognize a hook in your head as suffering, and it is. The issue is that this recognition doesn't extend to fish, not because the experience is different, but because you're taught to treat their pain as less real or less important.
If the argument is "it's fine because they're not human," then it isn't really about suffering, it's about deciding whose suffering counts. That's a value judgment you're making, not a fact.
The discomfort you feel in the idea of this happening to you or another human being highlights that the capacity to recognize pain is already there. The question is how consistently it's applied. This experience can serve as an opportunity for you and this woman to grow in empathy and intellectual honesty.”.

People like this are so disgustingly self centered and yet also completely lack self awareness. They have no empathy, no care for innocent life whatsoever. But I’ll bet some of them are still pro-birthers! It’s truly despicable.

As a Christian myself, this is a horrible take. And it’s very un-Christ-like. Being apolitical for the sake of protecting your career and not caring about politics that mean life or death for those less privileged than this straight, cis, white, rich, American man is so insanely un-Christ-like I don’t even have the words to properly express it. He’s a hypocrite. The Bible says again and again to be selfless and care for the less fortunate. Yet he doesn’t even care for doing the bare minimum of that. It’s completely immoral.

I’ve seen several posts today that show fundies being very upset that Neeza has transitioned again. I’ve seen some misgender her well also saying “he’s still a brother in Christ”. So I think they believe she’s being fooled. But it’s a big deal in the online Christian community today. Especially after she’s spoken against transitioning for the last nine months.
