David French and Nancy French Are Awful, Godless Monsters


Clickbait headline: "you will NOT believe which group David French says is ruining America"

davidfrenchattackschristiansoneaster.jpg

David Azzerad says:


What a courageous man: attacking Christians in the NYT. I hope they don't fire him.

Far be it from me to kink-shame, but David French's kinks are shameful.

So at Easter, he uses that time and space to attack other believers. Well done David, the devil nods his approval.

Posted by: Minnfidel

I think Paul said, "Easter is the time for recriminations and score-settling."

Meanwhile, David and Nancy French went to a church with some awkward liturgical dancing -- and Nancy French just could not pass up on the opportunity to tell her Twitter followers, "I was in the same room with black people! Aren't I so progressive and cool?"

And then she tried to pretend that what she was celebrating was, get this, God.

Thanks to Julie Kelly for that last one.

>>> I'm not going to dump on the celebrations of my black brothers and sisters in Christ.
So that's all good.

Posted by: Axeman

Yeah, that's fair.

I just hate David French and his slut wife so much.

As the left said of the Trans Terrorist: Look what you made me do.

12 I would classify myself as a borderline terrible Christian. I think a lot of it is seeing all the horrible things I see every day at work. That said, I try to be better, and when I enter Church I think the Lord may not want me there. But I'm trying.

The fact that Christians are being persecuted from all sides makes me ill. We aren't the problem here. We're just trying to live our lives.

Because they'll take everything you have. Oh, and because we have no "side". Our GOP does, quite frankly, nothing. On the Pfizer vaccine crimes, the big spokespeople are rogue physicians, Bobby Kennedy Jr and Naomi Wolf. We have no comparable people, though we should. But they (GOP) will protect their money and power ....until the purges begin, then let's not help them.

I dunno, I've been to black churches. Yes, the service usually includes more singing and dancing -- including liturgical dancing -- than is usual in a white church. But the dancing I've seen is much better and more coordinated than what's in that video. Is it coincidence that Frenchy's retarded wife was in a black church with the worst black dancers in all of black churchdom?

This might help. I focus on hating on their sins helps versus hating them as people. Separating the action versus the person clarifies that we are all sinners of one sort or another and we should all hate sin in its various forms.

101 Trust me, I come from a far more conservative background than the Frenches, and liturgical dance is... well, so controversial I can't imagine a local church promoting it on Twitter. For Pete's sake, we couldn't have dances on our Christian high school grounds because of a clause in the land donation. Our parents had to band together and host them at local public school, and couldn't really advertise them at our school. That's right, OUR BOOMER PARENTS HOSTED AN UNDERGROUND DANCE CLUB. You can just imagine how "dancing in church" is still viewed around here.

103 And like clockwork the Left will use heinous crimes where a Christians are the target to actually mainstream and elevate their anti-Christian views. Kind of like they do with terrorists when they bomb Israel or skyscrapers full of white people.

Because you'd think that after three adults and three 9 year olds were killed for being Christian and no other reason, there would be a "cooling off" period where they would keep this deranged hateful shit to themselves.

But no, they are drafting in Audrey Hale's wake, to ask "questions" about Christians. Find out why they are making people so angry. Even come up with some reasons.

Audrey told her friend that "some day (her attack) will make more sense". She-monster delivered the platform. The Left are running with it like a shiny new pair of scissors. This is just the beginning.

No problem, you will find the passages specifically in This narrative is told in Matthew 9:10-17, Mark 2:15-22, and Luke 5:29-39. The Pharisee rebuke Jesus for eating with sinners, to which Jesus responds, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

116 I agree that some Christians take their patriotism farther than they ought: our first concern is God and the gospel, not what nation wins. And some Christians do take their love of guns too far. We all have our sins, we all have our blind spots and things we fight against in our lives and sins we struggle with. That's part of the entire meaning of Christianity: sinners forgiven and saved by Jesus, and we need His doing and dying every day.

Yet I cannot help but think of the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. It feels like David French did not take that lesson in well: humility and recognizing our own sins should come first, and any criticism we have of others should be done in comparison to God, not ourselves.

153 David French should stop pretending to exemplify born again Christians. I think the majority of us can agree on this. However, when I see the video, I see true passion and spirit for Christ. I tend to enjoy many versions of dance, and I do think Christ inspires us to dance and sing with abandon. It looks like they have a member of their choir with Down syndrome up front singing her heart out and that inspires me as much as the French’s don’t.

Here's the difference: you recognize your problem and struggle with it. You see that its not right, even though you carry it out.

David French pretends his farts smell like eau de cologne and criticizes everyone else. I'm a sinner, I have problems I struggle with and things I do I know I should not. As Jesus said: take the plank out of your own eye before you address the speck in your neighbor's.

The single worst sin that we all struggle with is pride. We should be the most humble people on earth, and recognize how desperately we owe Jesus for His great sacrifice and perfect life in our place. But its always about us. Its always about me, and thinking of me instead of God's glory.

193 I need context. If that's a typical kind of dance during Easter mass at some African churches, that they've brought over, then that's kinda cool.
If it's invented by woke parishioners though, then not cool.


The first thing we have to do here is recognize that just because black people are doing something doesn't make it okay or cool.

Its about what is most God-honoring, worshipful, and God-focused. Not what we like or we want or we find fun or we prefer, but what God prefers. Now, we have a lot of freedom in this; there is no one Perfect Way. But there is a lot more wrong and we should avoid it no matter what culture it came from.

Like: greeting each other and shaking hands and such. Who are you there for? Not the guy next to you or behind you in the pew. You're there for God.

I was standing on the sidelines at a local high school football game as my daughter was on the field with her marching band playing the school song which every one claps along with. I was talking to a dad who happened to be a former drummer with the UNT drumline. While talking, my beat got WAY off to where he stopped me mid sentence and said "What's wrong with you? Do you even HEAR the music?"

264 The people that the left/French are so desperate to disarm are not the people behind the "gun violence" they claim is the reason for disarming them - they are NOT talking about taking guns away from inner city gang bangers, trannies, and Democrats.

There is only one possible reason then that the left/French want to disarm the normies. Because they want to do horrible things to them and are afraid they can't as long as the normies are armed.

The few people that actually read him in earnest, and not just to see what a crap-fest they are are much like French himself - people who profess to be Christian but seem to have nothing but disdain for other practicing Christians.

Otherwise, he's just there to be used (in multiple ways, I'm sure). Specifically, as the token "conservative" who can always be counted on to say good things about the left but offer "constructive criticism" to the right which is really just giving the left talking points about how "reasonable" Republicans say so-and-so...

And then they still laugh about him behind his back. maybe even to his face - he might enjoy that.

287 There's always been people who appreciate Christianity for how it lets them pretend to be a good person who feels good about themselves. And "look at that sinner over there!" has been such an ingrained part of human nature for so long that examples of it are IN the Bible along with the condemnation for it.

French is all about "look at that sinner over there" and "I'm a very good person, look how good I am."

But what elements of the Christian faith does he follow? Any of them? He's good at confessing other people's sins. That's not actually a "Christian" principle.

The Calvinists, Puritans, and Presbyterians all were inflictive in their faiths during the ECW.

Calvinists believe in a hyper-interventionist God, they are heavy on pre-destination. People incorrectly pretend the level of pre-destinationalism is somehow unique to Calvin it is not several denominations and wings of Christianity share it. The argument goes all the way back to Augustine.

French is if anything the Anti-Calvinist in the sense that as there is Christ there is an Anti-Christ. Calvin preached and sought a morally vociferous and interventionist industrious Christianity. French vociferously demands Christians abandon all morality even if it is the direct word of God.

It's funny. You get these really patronizing socialists who talk about how socialism is only about the means of production.

And then you get people saying Jesus is "socialist" despite that the Bible holds no great opinion about who own the "means of production", but even in David and Solomon's day were quite tolerant with the private individual owning some of those means.

Jesus has a suggested distribution of the product , which includes care for the poor and marginal. But the ownership of the means, if left up to individuals.

Unless we want to go there: Really, I would guess in a Christian sense: GOD rightly owns the means of production, and his stewards, individually serve him.

They are so very off base it's wrong not to push back on their anti-scriptural and self-centered boasting.

It wasn't Christians insisting that Christians had to hate Melania for having been a model, it was anti-Christians trying for a wedge they could use to tear people down. (as one example).

Posted by: Elric Blade at

Tibetan Buddhism is a theocratic tyranny, plain and simple. The broad mass of the populace is explicitly commanded to live in grinding poverty to support the monks on the hill in the style they're accustomed to.

No morally better than their ChiCom occupiers.

It's a real shitty system. But flighty Western women love Easterny stuff, so our propaganda paints these lamas as living saints. Feh.

They like to pretend that the ~11% of their budget that comes from the FedGov doesn't exist, and they like to pretend that the spectrum discounts they get (most of the value they get from taxpayers) don't exist. They also like to pretend that they're independent.

None of that is true. They are state-subsidized in multiple dimensions and are *not* independent. They don't like those facts, so they cry foul when anyone says it. They like to claim that they're not state-controlled, but they are.

*All* of our media companies are effectively state-controlled, but NPR is explicitly state media.

There are Calvinist sects that became extremely passive under the rather logical argument that is all things are pre-determined by God and people cannot choose their actions(active conversion also doesn't make a whole lot of sense with an elect), why would you be trying to actively change anything?

Calvinists tended to get a reputation for virtue signalling because of the circular logic behind the elect's actions demonstrating that they were part of the elect. Non-approved actions meant community exclusion because it showed a person was not part of the elect. It's a broken version of the repentance and reintegration model.

Did every Calvinist group go down either of these two paths(not mutually exclusive or inclusive)? No, but those groups that went down these routes were Calvinist in origin and identity.

Godly: All property belongs to GOD and we are stewards of it. But as stewards, each person governs what he has been given legal stewardship of.

If, in secular terms, you own something, this is the stewardship granted you.

QED: The claim that Jesus is a socialist is an equivocation on "socialism".

Also, Owen's socialism is the claim that society is at fault for all wrongs. It would be hard to make a claim against individual fault from scripture.

Thus Jesus is not an Owenian "socialist" either.

Acts 2 is arguably communist--except that Peter explains to Ananias and Sapphira that their land was theirs and nobody made them sell their land.

Even at its most "communist" the Bible has no enmity toward property it seems.

410 Jordan believes oversight is needed. The payoff is that he wants Pomerantz to testify about what he knows about the decision to prosecute Trump, something which was the focus of a book he recently published.
...

Based on your unique role as a special assistant district attorney leading the investigation into President Trump’s finances, you are uniquely situated to provide information that is relevant and necessary to inform the Committee’s oversight and potential legislative reforms. Although the New York County District Attorney’s Office has directed you not to cooperate with our oversight, you have already discussed many of the topics relevant to our oversight in a book you wrote and published in February 2023, as well as in several public interviews to promote your book…

Your book discloses various details about the New York County District Attorney’s Office’s investigation of President Trump, including internal deliberations about the investigation. Indeed, you discuss how members of the Office viewed the credibility of a key witness in the case, and you note their concerns about the case’s dim prospects.

As part of his fight against climate change, President Biden is attempting to transform the U.S. auto industry from Washington — first with carrots, now with sticks.
On Tuesday, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed two sets of new rules limiting emissions for all vehicles, ranging from passenger cars to tractor-trailers. The most aggressive of several options the EPA will consider could lead to 67 percent of all new passenger car and light-duty truck sales being electric by 2032, the agency said.

We Jews require a Minyan for some religious activities, for example, reading from the Torah and chanting the blessings. It is a question of the number present, the "fellowship" is the joint purpose, not any sort of friendship or socializing. But isn't common purpose the real idea of fellowship.

Me handing a shabby bum a twenty so he can hopefully get food instead of meth or a pint of rot gut is one thing. It might do good, but at best it won't do much bad.

That seems to be a misunderstanding of free will (which also seems to be common in modern arguments).

Free will is the ability to make choices. Like choosing to put ketchup or mustard on a hot dog is free will. Being born in India or England has nothing to do with free will. The ability to make choices also makes us culpable for our choices, which pertains to justice.

Divine foreknowledge seems to present issues for this, but otherwise human language and society pretty much always assumes free will exists.

Calvinism inspired determinism, which was adopted by materialist thinkers.

466 At least my parents. As for me, or anyone else as a baby, its not falsifiable. We don't really know that you don't have a choice do we? Suppose the soul is made, then that soul gets a say and say no thanks. Miscarriage. they happen fairly often.

Maybe it's like a video game and we get a character selection screen, and you spend hours pouring over the advantages and drawbacks before making a choice. "Eh, that one, he's got a funny looking nose, could be fun."

Note to self: If reincarnation, do not pick "severe allergies" as a drawback again.

469 I too am an introvert, and I find fellowship to be a bit exhausting, but I understand why it's a thing. The concept that everyone at service/Mass/whatever should essentially act as if they are in a isolated box is a strange one to me. I get that church should be reverent and God should be put first, meaning that all of these places that essentially turn church into a modern theatrical experience could be seen as a bit of a heresy. Still, I don't see how a quick handshake and greeting with your neighbors for one minute is taking away from worship. To each his own, I guess.

That's any and everyone who asks.

Does God know in advance? Sure. He's God. Does that mean we don't have a say as "the world" and "whosoever"?

The Calvinist theory is that it should be understood as God only genuinely offering salvation to a subset, which are saved regardless of their desire to be saved.

If we are to take the free will metaphor of God being a man on a boat tossing ropes to drowning men and pulling them in, in the Calvinist model God saw fit to give some men no arms though he throws them a rope, so that they may drown and shanghais the rest.

472 As a basically introverted person I find it incredibly obnoxious. But my point was not that fellowship is meaningless. It was that WE ARE GATHERED TO WORSHIP GOD. Its like going to a football match and breaking out the tea set for a nice picnic. Its like undergoing heart surgery and the entire staff taking a break for a nice game of ping pong. Tea and ping pong aren't bad, they can be quite nice. But that's not what we are here for

So there was a big change to protestanize the mass after Vat II. Many people think that it tended to turn the Mass into something we do together, instead of the Priest offering the sacrifice - he does it, we assist. He doesn't really need us there for it. they used to face away from us and towards the Crucifix/tabernacle. And a lot of the prayers were silent. The people didn't say anything. Its a very different experience. I said it before, if zombie Luther stood in the back of a catholic church today, you'd never get him to believe it was a catholic church. You'd not.

473 Two teachers challenging the constitutionality of compelled antiracism training have been ordered to pay nearly $313,000 in their Missouri school district's legal fees, under a ruling their lawyers called "overtly hostile" and "meant to scare off future lawsuits by parents and teachers."

The Southeastern Legal Foundation is appealing U.S. District Judge Douglas Harpool's summary judgment in favor of Springfield Public Schools and the six-figure award against their clients Brooke Henderson and Jennifer Lumley, according to an 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals notice Friday.

The public interest litigation firm "has never faced attorney fees sanctions for challenging unconstitutional government action at any level" in nearly 50 years of so-called Section 1983 civil rights lawsuits against public officials, SLF Litigation Director Braden Boucek said in a press release.

People misunderstand that commandment. It isn't about cussing. It is about using Christian identity for your own vain purposes.

Woke pastors, media hell hounds and the various fashionable perversions attacking the body of the church should stop and reflect. The pervert the Word to justify their perversions.

A lot of mill stones are due for a lot of people. Reflect and repent.

477 Ex-CNN producer John Griffin, who reached a plea deal late last year with federal prosecutors on child sexual abuse charges in Vermont, is asking a judge for more time to challenge a pre-sentence report in the case calling for up to life imprisonment, based on federal guidelines.

Griffin, 45, formerly of Stamford, Connecticut, pleaded guilty in December in U.S. District Court in Burlington to one of the three charges brought against him of “using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to persuade, induce, entice or coerce a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity,” according to the indictment against him.

Which is why Calvinism is passing out of style.

It doesn't describe a God who is sovereign and "wishes that all men should come to repent". IMO, it makes God sound like a bureaucrat who really kinda-sorta "wishes"--in a way....

"Yeah, I wish there was something I could do so that you wouldn't be destroyed...but...destroying you is kind of my choice!"

I don't agree with your premise here. To believe this is true then you have to first agree that conservatives have the same mindset and morals as liberals, and that is as false as David French's faith.

483 I think there is an answer here in that God doesn't exist within the bounds of time.

So, we make our decisions as time passes and can choose good and evil right and wrong, but from God's perspective he already knows the story of our whole lives.

But if you dare question the results of a stolen election, he'll call you a bad Christian. This is the same guy who oversaw drone strikes, defended torture, insisted that the Iraq War was a good idea, and proposed waiting until after the 2020 election before appointing the next Supreme Court justice. He's a weak, stupid man.

492 There is a priest and a monsignor here that do a weekly video during Lent. One of the things they discussed was complaints from parishoners that homilies are boring, music isn't good, they don't get anything out of going to Mass. They said that the younger generation has this attitude because they expect to be entertained. I have to agree.
Posted by: Jordan61 at April 12, 2023 01:38 PM (DRSnL)


I'd grant the complainers the point that the music isn't good. In the "spirit of Vatican II" the traditional hymns were jettisoned in favor of insipid songs. I'm in a fight with our Parish's music director in trying to get more traditional hymns restored.

As far as "not getting anything out of Mass," that's decades of bad catechisis and improper treatment of the Eucharist talking. What you "get" is an opportunity to commune directly with Jesus Christ since he is present in the consecrated Host. He tells us that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to get eternal life.
