@stux Unfortunately, this sentiment will be used to justify cruelty against perhaps millions of civilians who didn't do the killing.

One of the more popular evangelical media groups is The Gospel Coalition (TGC). Let's see what they have to say on the matter.Let's look at the first 3 examples. "How a Husband Isn't Like Christ" is excluded.

First, "I Want Christlike, Bible Reflexes." Raymond argues for Christian supremacy, that other perspectives -- even expert perspectives -- are inferior.Many people have wondered why evangelicals looked to their leaders and shunned expert advice on COVID. This was a long time coming.

Raymond had some early COVID work on TGC. A couple articles were readily available. Neither mentions anything about health care. Instead, he blames his readership as contributing to the event. He presumes that they should be grateful in the midst of their punishment proportionally to the level of punishment.

Next up is "The Christlike God". This is a brief review of John V. Taylor's work. Taylor is not a contemporary nor an American.The review is fairly brief but includes a disagreement with the author's perspective that divine delight in human suffering is appalling.

Finally, 'There Is No Greater "Good" Than to Become Like Jesus.'There are 4 paragraphs, and this is one of them.

Christianity is bigger (perhaps better) than evangelicalism. But who gets to tell society what "christ-like" means? Does that phrase empower the church to dictate morality?

Does equating Christ with goodness further the Christian supremacy initiative?

All this discussion of Christ, and what about the man himself? Maybe we take a rare critical eye at the person we want to bring peace?

Can someone explain how home appraisals work?Why does the buy for the lender's due diligence? If the buyer is paying, why not get it before making an offer?

It feels like I'm paying straight into the lender's pockets for a service that can only hurt me.

When we listed our home for sale significantly under the zestimate, zillow immediately by reducing their zestimate below our asking price. Thanks, Zillow.

What happens when you mix Indian, Chinese, Italian, and American cuisines? Time to find out if it tastes of creativity or just confusion.

The toppings were nice, but the sauce was a bit tart for my taste.

@futurebird @melivia Shall we deconstruct "christ-like" too, or is that too much for you right now?
