Bad Religion

Posted by SelkirkTMO on Tue Mar 20 20:03:32 2012

Since one poster here says we're not supposed to talk about religion, here we go! :)

Bad Religion

Coming next month: Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics by Ross Douthat.

The author explains how American Christianity "has gone off the rails -- and why it threatens to take American society with it."

New York Magazine: "Heresies, in his telling, include Eat Pray Love, Jimmy Swaggart, and, say, the notion that Jesus would have signed Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge."

NY Magazine is a joke. Thanks.

It's not about NY Magazine, it's about Douthat's BOOK. And he's a rightie. But hey ... don't read any of it. Wait for the Dailycaller spin. :)

And here I thought you were talking about the punk rock band.



Have to laugh at Wikipedia calling Douthat a "conservative" too . . .

Not many come up to the politics of Vlad the impaler, but he ain't no librul.

Douthat wrote a quite positive column about Santorum's religious views the other day. His religious views aren't quite as conservative as Santorum's but they are conservative.
