JS is not just a has-been. His ministry claims to need and raise just under $5million per month just for broadcast time. They have an extensive TV and radio network. Attacks on psychology are almost a daily ritual in each of their programs.

“The psychological way and the way of the Cross are diametrically opposed to each other,” he said. “They are so diametrically different and originate from such totally different sources that there is no way the two can be wed. As for preachers who claim that the two can be melded, it shows either a terrible ignorance of the Cross of Christ, or else, gross unbelief.”

if it weren’t for the fundamentalists urging a boycott of “Harry Potter” for “promoting witchcraft” I would have never read the books/watched the movies 🙂

I learned this in the 1980’s when there was Dungeons and Dragons, which is really a fairly tame roleplaying game, and there were also In Nomine and Vampire: the Masquerade, which were substantially less tame. But the anti-gaming movement (MADD and its allies) never, ever mentioned anything but Dungeons and Dragons. Why? Because people had heard of it, so that got them attention, money, and support.

An Evangelical friend in the early 1990’s told me the following story. The 700 Club ran a highly inflammatory and biased segment on D&D, and being a player himself, he wrote to them and said so. He got back a letter which said, “We’re glad to hear you’re among the millions of Americans concerned about D&D. Would you consider making a donation to our important work on this cause?”

Money. Power. Pretty interesting obsessions for people who are purportedly the children of the Kingdom of God.

It costs rather less if you buy something with “Fulvic Acid” on the container!
(End of public service announcement. And, yes, public service is not a way to get rich quick!)

The big thing now is Black Oxygen Organic. Magic dirt. Really! Only $100 for a four and a half ounce bag. Google for it. You ain’t rich cause you don’t have the imagination or the gall to do something like this.

Like when when somebody justifies the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin and labeling Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist. It’s the people who misuse CRT, intentionally, they are the problem, not CRT itself.

This reminds me of an old quote by Mark Twain:

“There was a time when religion ruled the world. It was know as the Dark Ages“

“We have successfully frozen their brand.”critical race theory”,
into the public conversation and are steadily driving up
negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as
we put all of the various cultural insanities under that
brand category.”

“The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the
newspaper and immediately think“critical race theory.” We
have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex
the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular
with Americans.”

Just another far right, GOP dirty trick is all.
