Yes, I wrote those tirades against Evangelical legal scrupulosity a while ago. My position is well-known.

Just now, prompted by curiosity, I googled "Would Jesus jaywalk?". To my horror, there seems to be no shortage of Evangelical articles on the subject, all of them written in that arthritis-inducing do-goody Evangelical style.

Take a look at this article: https://matttimms.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/the-spiritual-discipline-of-not-jaywalking/

Now take a closer look at this guy's face: https://i.imgur.com/YXqvcJ4.jpg

That's a chill-inducingly beta face. The low testosterone. The simpering.

Now take a look at this John Piper article: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/deciding-what-we-deserve

He's basically saying we should not jaywalk. It's a crime. Even though it's an idiotic law, we should not do it, because a Christian's concept of justice is different, says Piper. It's not a "law of recompense" thing. No, it's something far more transcendent. Show the other face. Walk another mile. Follow the minutest state regulations with the passivity of a retarded sheep. Excellent point. Now that's an invigorating perspective. I might have to join this man's church.

Forgive my crude words, but looks like a p%ssy-whipped beta to me.

That's what a guy who finds it okay to be the law's b%tch (as much as he is his wife's b%tch) looks like.

Are my words too bitter? Maybe. Am I exaggerating these men's betaness? Maybe, but I don't think so.

It does seem to be a general problem in Evangelicalism. A general air of mediocrity and pansiness of which those simpering faces are emblematic.

I just googled the word "pansiness" to check the spelling and this was the second result: " ... generally passive-aggressive, but never think they could do with manning up a bit for a change. Unavoidably, their pansiness translates in the pansiness of the entire Church, which will then perforce be infiltrated by either pansies, or positively evil men".

Haha yeah, probably just a coincidence.

Anyway, I don't know. I don't want to renounce my faith. But good grief. What is this stuff. What's the deal with these guys.
