I'm think I got this bookwyrm thing right. I ended up more-or-less manually importing ~1,000 books. I'm sure there is supposed to be any easier way.
I previously had accounts @fu@bookwyrm.social @fu@millefeuilles.cloud and @fu@bookwyrm.world, I think this one will be here to stay but I might need to find a less expensive hosting solution.

In short, the evangelical church in America is not very evangelical.
Ain't that the truth. I think it has got even worse than when Sjogren originally wrote these words 33 years ago. Now-a-days I think most Americans see evangelical being a synonym for conservative.

It was a fine book but itdidn't really work out the way that I had expected to. I think it would have been much better as a standalone story. However with its intention of acting within the middle of the Star Trek deep space nine television series it didn't really flow for me. I don't think that Quark and the rest of the Ferengis could have gone on living the same way they did on the television series if they had been banned from Bajoran space at some time in the recent past. It would still be too many hard feelings, in my opinion ,to have continued living as nothing had changed. Otherwise the little to the point that it's like it was something that should have been a bigger deal than it was I don't know how this actually met with the finding of the 9th orb but if …

"How do you define a Christian?"
He replied, "A Christian is one who fights for liberation."
— How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi (5%)
Cannot an atheist, Jew or Muslim fight for liberation?
In over 30 years of walking with Christ I've heard many definitions of what a Christian is: one in a personal relationship with Jesus, one who's been baptised in water, one who's a member of a church, one whose recieved the baptism of the Holy Spirit etc. To me it's pretty clear that it's one who believes what has been called out in the Nicean Creed, which I believe should lead one to do all of the above, including fighting for liberation. Defining the faith by a political idea, however, gets it in the wrong order. If we identify with Christianity because the religion makes a good argument for liberation it's easy to forget Christ. If instead we put our faith in Christ, who brings us to liberation, Christ can continually direct our entire life.
