I wish Michael was still on this forum. His Twitter profile is based. He's been going against much of the Dyerite nonsense.
A question about a supposed contradiction.
Matthew says Jesus was born during the reign of Herod, but Luke said Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem for the census that was 2 years after the death of Herod.
So how can this be explained?

Some will remember this man.

When I think of Christianity in France I usually think of it's long history of Catholicism and how intertwined the Catholic Church was with France until the French Revolution. Now I usually think of French as super atheist types so was a bit surprised these sort of churches within the nation. I didn't think there was really an evangelical scene there and according to the video they are still only like 3% of the population but there's some potential there for growth since it's mostly younger people.
I don't know which thread this should go to (mod help?) so here goes.
More convert culture nonsense. I listened to a two hour long video of this guy and his crocodile tears converting to Catholicism 4 months ago. Now he has converted again to Oriental Orthodoxy.
The strange thing about this is that this convert culture is deeply modernistic, secular, and shallow. It's the part of protestantism that is really not good. "Just find a new flavor". "Jump to a new thing when you get upset". Everything is mixed with this grifting online attention seeking culture as well and it goes into hyperdrive. God bless everyone who is searching (converting) to go deeper but it's so mixed up it's a treacherous path.
Most converts I see are converts to Eastern Orthodogsy from some kind of Protestant. Seems to be more of an Orthodox thing. It attracts that type
Protestant converts seem to be more ethnic, lots of immigrants, whereas Ortho converts seem to draw more from Whites (usually former Protestants).
I've heard the term "Orthodixie" to describe the phenomenon. A lot of the ortho cons I see are from the south.
Has this been posted elsewhere? I heard that Richard Dawkins had claimed he was a cultural Christian now but I never heard him explain it before.
I find this phenomenon fascinating. It's also amazing he's entirely shameless about wanting his cake and eating it too. He's obviously freaking out about Islam taking over his home country and wants all the goodies without Christ.

I've heard of this before. European culture is deeply instilled with Christian values, but when modern Westerners started turning away from Christ, they took for granted that culture would otherwise remain the same. They were like fish that don't realize they are in water. They rejected Christianity, but didn't realize how much they depended on the Christian nature of Western Civilization.
Dawkins has finally noticed what he was taking for granted. On a similar note, Elon Musk has said he is culturally Christian, meaning he does recognize and appreciate the Christian value embedded in Western culture. However, I don't think he actually believes in Christ. Unfortunately all too many liberals not only reject Christ, but they reject traditional Western Culture entirely.

Militant atheism is no longer popular, he's just riding the wave or Christianity sweeping through the right, same position as Jordan Peterson.
The guy thinks reading the Bible is how you get transgender pastors. Reading the Bible is how you avoid becoming a transgender pastor.
