The Astros will listen to trade offers for Jeremy Peña this offseason, per @BNightengale
Extension talks have ended, and Peña is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2027 season
Unfortunate news but we all predicted this would happen after the failed extension 😬

And what does the name “Michael” mean?
Muslim names be like SERVANT OF THE MERCIFUL and Christians have shit like MichaelCommunity noteMichael comes from the Hebrew mī kāʼēl, meaning "Who is like God?". It is a rhetorical question implying none is like God, and names an archangel recognized in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

A real example of male strength is Samwise Gamgee. You guys can’t deal with it, bc you’re scared of being loved.

I think what’s so attractive about Talarico’s Christian rhetoric isn’t that it’s necessarily the “correct” version, because it’s not in a lot of ways.
But I’d venture to say the way he communicates it is way closer to the demeanor and attitude that Christians are meant to have. And people are tired of what they’ve been seeing publicly for a while.
A politician preaching a strictly biblical Christianity wouldn’t be as palatable to the masses like James, but I bet they would at the very least, intrigue a lot more people than many conservatives have with their speech and rhetoric over the past who knows how many years.

This is interesting because some of what he says here, like the quoted part below, is in no way biblical, while other parts are 100% an aspect of how Christians should think about their neighbors and their calling.
Every person is not God, nor are they holy. The reason Christians are called to love their neighbor is not out of reverence for their neighbor, but compassion for their neighbor and reverence for God who created them to image himself.
Takes some parsing to sort through the heretical things and poor hermeneutics he dishes out. I think correcting those things would actually fine tune what he’s espousing when he talks about love of God and love of neighbor.

“Jesus never claimed to be God in the Gospels” is one of my fav claims because the entire book of Mark is just him being like “You know that thing only God can do? Watch this.”

Yes it’s called the Enlightenment and Secular Humanism.
Jefferson Bible is a famous example. Though idk if he’s a man whose personal morals I’d most want to emulate.

Has anyone done this same thing with Christianity or Islam or whatever, like purging it of all its supernatural elements to create a generic humanist philosophy separate from the religion itself? I think you could emerge with something nearly identical to western Buddhism.

Ah yes the classic “1 out of 9 games proves my point” argument. Very basketball. Much smart.
I'd like to formally apologize to Houston Rockets fans for ranking the team 8th in my latest power rankings: I'm sorry I didn't overreact to their fast start to the season, for still not totally trusting the offense, and for not fully believing in Ime Udoka’s ability to adjust on the fly.
I hope you will forgive me, especially after every concern was on display in tonight’s loss to the Edwards-less Timberwolves. Sloppy turnovers, weird rotations by Ime, and questionable end-game scoring. Just like last year. Yes, their start to this season is encouraging. That is why they moved up multiple spots into a higher tier since preseason! But Houston has a lot more to prove to enter the upper echelon of contenders.

Everyone loves the idea of Heaven.

That’s why purgatory burns.
Because God’s love won’t let us drag our sins into paradise.
What a grace the Lord gives us!

This is a very important topic to address. I am glad @gavinortlund chose to make this really great covering of the issue!
I’ve said for years: if Jesus writes the sheet music of Christianity we see Paul playing it beautifully. Paul and Jesus aren’t at odds, they’re in lock step.
