"These believers ... detest the reality-based world. They condemn it as contaminated, decayed and immoral. This world took their jobs. It destroyed their future. It ruined their communities. It doomed their children. It flooded their lives with alcohol, opioids, pornography, sexual abuse, jail sentences, domestic violence, deprivation and despair. And then, from the depths of suicidal despair, they suddenly discovered that God has a plan for them. God will save them. God will intervene in their lives to promote and protect them. God has called them to carry out his holy mission in the world and to be rich, powerful and happy.”

Many thanks for this, anybody!!

I just printed it off (after skimming), so I can read-and-highlight it later today.

Thank you!

I think he makes some good and valid points, but in the end, he is another Christian who thinks his way of being a Christian is the right way.

He gets points for calling out the hypocrisy, but I don't think he makes the connection that people make their god fit the views they already hold.

Well,liberal Christianity isnt perfect, but it doesnt have a lot in common with wild eyed evangelicals and that was his point.Thinking you are right is hardly confined to the religious.

Christianity -loaded with corruption, hypocrisy, idiocy, and evil........and still vastly preferable to the scourge of even far worse Islam.

You can keep both of 'em.
It's a "tallest of the dwarfs" thing...they're all still awfully short. :)
