Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Disenthralling Of The World

At some point, religious organizations need to really - and I mean REALLY - examine why they tend to attract people like this.

Given the strong support that Donald Trump enjoys among Evangelicals, despite his demonstrably immoral behavior, it's fair to ask whether being an Evangelical represents some sort of clinical disorder along the lines of delusional ideation.

Or perhaps it is simply that most theologically conservative institutions are at their heart authoritarian institutions unable to change with the times because the men - and they are always men - can't bare a world were they aren't God's chosen leader.
