This is a fascinating story about the Christian culture warrior penchant to not know exactly what's going on... But somehow be offended by it newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
For example...
And without missing a beat...
I know that several people who share my faith tradition believe that ignorance is a spiritual attribute...
I come to bear witness... It is not
When in reality the truth is a revelatory device for our own prejudices
For religious leaders who suggested that his election as leader of other Chaplins was the seventh seal... Did y'all double back and apologize???
Or are y'all just gonna keep it pushing????
While persistent superstition is enthralling it's not an actual tenant of faith... Repentance on the other hand .. Is.
There is something else here... And y'all playing with something extremely harmful
What if your presumption was in fact true?
What if a secular humanist was as one outlet suggested "president"?

Does his election impact your faith
Moreover... What does your rancor say about how we treat people who do not share our faith tradition?
Are people who do not share your faith unworthy of care?
Or is care something that only straight, White assimilating, well to do, bible toting, neurotypical, people deserve?
What do we owe our atheist siblings?
You're going to have to find a way to love people who don't believe like you
Y'all probably owe that person an apology... And your congregations a retraction...
Yikes...

When we use "both sides" we need to take care that we are not using rhetorical devices to exempt ourselves from accountability
You can hear difficult truths. The presence of a difficult truth is not harmful to you
The existence of two sides does not suggest equal culpability

Being on the other side of some things... Brings clarity. Having that conversation in public spaces can be helpful
Now self reflection... That's your work and your business... But it won't be said that we didn't have the conversation
We are making room for us to divest from harmful pathologies
