Tyler O'Neil on the Afrikaners and the Episcopalian Double Standard
I'm not religious, though I'm not the evangelical atheist I once was. I'm very skeptical of religion, though I now incline to suspect that it's best to have a reasonably beneficial or at least benign religion taking up that cultural space and soaking up people's religious inclinations. And I think we got very lucky that Christianity is our dominant religion. Or, rather: we wouldn't really be who we are, nor as successful, without Christianity. Judaism: also good.
So anyway, I don't have a commitment to religion.
So why does it freak me out so much that political correctness / Woketarianism has, allegedly, been taking over many churches and denominations? Because they ought to be unusually resistant to this sickness. So, though I don't have a commitment to them, their downfall is particularly alarming to me. If the mind virus can infect even them, who ought to be resistant, we're in even bigger trouble than I thought....
Though, having now written that, I see you can also argue: they're already susceptible to (sorry, religious homies) superstition...so it's no big surprise that so many of them have swapped out their old superstition for the hot, trendy new superstition...
shrug
Could be.
