thatChrisCocca: and, for a youth retreat in 1992, that was pretty progressive. But my denomination at the time ABC(USA) was and probably still is like that. One foot in evangelicalism, one foot in the mainline...so kind of a progressive evangelicalism. Tony Campolo and Ron Sider.

Ryan_LR: Anybody else reminded of that Tony Campolo bit? (Paraphrased) 30,000 kids died last night of starvation or malnutrition. Most of you don't give a shit. The worst part is you're more offended I said shit than that 30,000 kids died last night.

ReisEvan: Reminds me of the Tony Campolo speech where he starts by saying Christians “don’t give a shit” about poverty. Talks for an hour about poverty and ends the speech saying that what troubles him most is that “most of you are still most upset because I said ‘shit’ an hour ago.”

DavidDark: I imagine it's improvised, but if it isn't, it's rhetorically solid & necessary. Anyone who wants to come at him for his word choice is then obliged to acknowledge the contempt the gun cult & its hirelings have for the kids they slaughter. Tony Campolo made similar moves.

jojo71: Long ago, Tony Campolo was preaching and said, “And the church doesn’t give a shit about poor people.” [my somewhat rephrasing] and added: “Most of you will be more upset I said SHIT instead of the sin of aiding poverty. Things haven’t changed much re Beto last night.
