Patient with anoxic brain injury, family and friends at bedside singing evangelical worship songs and telling him to open his eyes and get up. This is spiritual bypassing. They said their chiropractor got a word from God that the patient would be fully healed.

Y’all. I had a family member angrily ask if we could give their comfort care patient a “fatal dose of fentanyl”. It was wild. #healthcare

Opposing this law on religious grounds is precisely why it should be passed. If your religion forbids you, then don’t. But not a single thing should be denied the public by coercing people to submit to your religion
CHICAGO (AP) — Opponents, including many religious groups, lawmakers and disability advocates, have moral objections to someone ending their life.
One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Effective #spiritualcare begins with the use of self as a disciplined instrument, informed by the behavioral sciences and shaped by reflective practice. Notice your emotional responses, body language, and assumptions in each encounter, these often communicate more than your words. 1/x #medsky
This is why the salvation of the Universe is also our salvation, why solidarity among humans is no longer a tenderhearted luxury but a deep necessity and self-preservation the salvation of your fellow person. - Nikos Kazantzakis #soulsignals #wisdom #spiritualcare
Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.
All about "reactionary centrism"
Michael Hobbes joins me to diagnose the pundit class's obsession with scolding the left while the right burns down the house.

*nods* It’s wearying. I don’t see much distance b/w Moore & Mohler. The former brands himself differently.
They should be asked as an additional question to explain how their interpretation of Romans 13 relates to Revelation 13 and for double bonus marks to comment on William Stringfellow's discussion of these passages. Asking Baptists to discuss an Episcopalian's theology I know is a stretch
I am not a suspended, rootless thing in the world. I am earth of its earth and breath of its breath. I am not alone in my fear, nor alone in my hope, nor alone in my shouting. A tremendous host, an onrush of the Universe fears, hopes, and shouts with me. -Nikos Kazantzakis #soulsignals #human
Nikos Kazantzakis writing on The Ego in his work, The Saviors of God, has left me speechless. #soulsignals #wisdom #spiritualcare #ego #humanism #spirituality
Why are we contesting the out of context meaning of other people's mail from 2000 years ago? Both Moore and Mohler hold beliefs that violate basic human rights as the will of God. Both want to impose their religion on others as a condition of their "religious freedom". @daviddark.bsky.social
