I know I know it's 2024 who even does flame wars anymore but I just couldn't help myself.

I posted that diatribe against organized religion on the facebook wall of a guy I went to grad school with. Guess I touched a nerve. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Those of us whose interests have never been served by this history—i.e., those of us who aren’t cis straight men (which, unsurprisingly, also describes almost every theologian he cites (I counted 2 exceptions?))—might be forgiven for not finding religion’s dictates & rituals terribly meaningful.

...misogyny, homophobia, and virtually every war of the past 2 centuries.

It’s extraordinarily disingenuous of him to extoll the virtues of religion’s historically embedded direction and community and tradition while ignoring the fact that this history is DIRECTLY CAUSALLY RESPONSIBLE for the worst of our human atrocities—for tribalism, oppression, colonialism, ...

But the more I think about it, the angrier I get at his defense of organized religion as a mature, intellectually responsible, historically embedded path to the sublime, while spirituality without religion gets unfairly painted as an ahistorical navel-gazing rejection of universal moral truths.

Opinion | The Shock of Faith: It’s Nothing Like I Thought It Would Be The word “faith” implies the possession of something, whereas I experience faith as a yearning for something beautiful that I can sense but not fully grasp.

Wes Streeting is gay. He claims to have spoken to young trans people; claims that he wants to improve their health care; claims that as a gay man, he empathizes with them. He also claims that this decision was “based on the evidence and advice of clinicians, not politics or political pressure.”

Identity Politics Is Dead—Except For White People If someone is racist and sexist then they will be inclined to look for reasons not to vote for Harris, and the left did and continues to do an excellent job at providing such reasons.
