"Sometimes, as I spent this morning listening to a podcast recounting abuse in conservative Christian communities (in this case, Amish communities) and how the Bible was used in these communities to excuse CSA and marital rape - I wonder - how can we even turn again to a book that has served as a sanction-er for so much evil. Is it even worth trying anymore?"

Start off your week with a grounded take on Bible, prayer, the world, and your life ...

^{Rev. Angela Denker (I'm Listening)}

"'Homosexuality should be accepted by society.'

The biggest gender gap on that question:

It's among men and women born in the early 2000s.

65% of young men agree
82% of young women agree.

A nearly 17 pt divide.

It's just 7 points among people born in the 1990s."

~ Ryan Burge

Now let's do how those younger males voted — in comparison to young women — in 2024.
