   - 18yo tradcath who thinks aesthetics = piety

   - 18yo evangelical who considers themselves an authority in "biblical Christianity"

   - apparently adult evangelicals who consider themselves authorities because they have a podcast

   - "Hebraic Christians" (some new kind of messianic, apparently)

   - "evidence??? evidence????" (denomination-neutral)

   - salty pagans and atheists who think they're above criticism

     @ "muscularchristian" (yes, really), a fitness fanatic who takes pictures of himself either shirtless or wearing shirts with slogans like "Jesus is my spotter," interspersed with pictures of his bone broth and random Bible verses

     Naturally, this guy came out of the woodwork to condemn queer-affirming churches for being "comfortable with sin"

     Crickets on the sins of pride and vanity, of course

     @Cyborgneticz @alpine_thistle same. One part makes me think “did Messianic get a bad name finally?” And “is it churches like the one I grew up in which had a fixation on Hebrew Scriptures and things like the Shofar but also no real engagement with Judaism or Jewish members, just very into supercessionism while also slightly confused Jewish people don’t want to join”

     my love of aesthetics makes tradcaths think I like them, which is...very not good.

     also first time hearing hebraic Christian. I wonder how they're different from messianic...

     @platypus @Cyborgneticz I think it's the latter. The "Hebraic Christian" church that followed me (???) was like, a ~progressive church that celebrated Hanukkah and had a shofar but approached scripture like just liberal evangelicals

     So I'm guessing it's messianics who think they're better than messianics. To their credit, they didn't pretend to be Jewish, but it was just appropriation which isn't better lmao
