Nobody’s happier about this win than me but can yall please act like you’ve been there. It’s Tennessee
Only thing we accomplished by pinning them inside the 5 was giving them a chance to run the clock out.
Paging @scottderrickson to the black phone please
This type of stuff is why Christian movies and music are terrible and almost never get mainstream attention
The left gained control of Hollywood by putting their messages subtly into stories most people could relate to
For example, I had to explain to my poor devout Christian brother that George Harrison was a Hindu and My Sweet Lord is not about Jesus, but it doesn't become obvious until the final part of the song
But as a Christian, I can still relate to the feeling he's expressing in that song because Harrison was a great songwriter. Apart from the last verse, it is hard to tell which Lord he's talking about because good writing requires that kind of subtley
Traditional Western horror has always been subtley pro Christian
Think about what hurts vampires
Crosses. Holy water. Churches. The reason they can't see their reflection is because they don't have souls. These are all essential staples in vampire lore. Bram Stoker was a Christian
Who are the heroes in The Exorcist?
The priests
In fact, The Exorcist is about a priest struggling with his faith and he comes back to God after encountering true evil. Reagan's mom in the story starts out as an atheist, and she gets blindsided by the reality of spiritual warfare when she realizes secular doctors can't help her daughter. The author of the book and screenwriter of the film, William Peter Blatty, was also a Christian
Ed and Lorraine Warren were devout Christians who wielded their faith to save countless people from demons
The point of horror is to show how evil the world can be, and that good prevails if you're willing to fight for what's right and true
Christian authors used to understand the importance of subtly in storytelling (Lord of the Rings being another fantastic example), and secularists in Hollywood learned from their craft
But now thanks to people like Allie who have a proverbial stick up their butts, modern Christian authors are scared stiff of writing anything with more grit than Veggie Tales
Until Christians are willing to write stories about people who cuss, people who cry, people who fornicate, people who scream and suffer and are damaged and make horrible decisions that put themselves in such a deep hole that only Jesus can pull them out, our stories will always be boring and unrelateable to the average person
What's funny, though, is now Hollywood is making the same mistake by forcing woke nonsense into everything, which many Christian conservatives will correctly make fun of, but then they don't see the irony in that their own creative works have the same artistic problem

Being told what it's like to own an EV by people who have never sat in one is a core part of being an EV owner

I think I’ve struggled with this team because I’ve never seen anything like it. They’re clearly talented, and it’s more than underperforming. Success rates are great! But it’s hard to win when 17 different players have exactly one mental lapse on 17 different plays each game.
