Lord Snow Presides… Over a “Love Quiz” that Mark Driscoll Fails Miserably. (#21)

I just can’t stop laughing today over Mark Driscoll’s current post. It’s about a Love Quiz that he presents to his readers that he himself could not pass in a million years.

Today Lord Snow Presides over Mark Driscoll and his hypocritical Love Quiz.

A “Second Glance” at the Subculture That Produced Roy Moore.

When the accusations began flowing against bigot-for-Jesus Roy Moore, that movie showed us exactly why Roy Moore almost certainly committed the crimes he is accused of committing.

I’ll show you those roots today, and why they inevitably lead to such abuse.

Worse, I’ll show you how Roy Moore may well have himself a lucrative career in politics thanks to how his broken system works.
