Groovier than thou

Not a straight White male in sight.

Although not, apparently, official, this poster is telling. One commentor pointed out the more than 200 bishops for the 100 dioceses and 2 million Episcopals, saying that if they were organized proportionally to Catholics in America --65 million in 200 dioceses--- they'd have 8 bishops and 3 dioceses. Very good endowment management. An unfriendly commentor referred to them as a "Potemkin village."

Sociologists of religion tell us that for a religion to prosper, it must keep tension between accomodation to its culture and confrontation with it. I cannot think of a single left liberal stance that these folks do not embrace. Sorta like USA Catholic sisters...

Anonymous said...: The poster read closely is quite accurate: these Episcopalians do "like" Jesus, not as Jesus did. ... Jesus condemn'd, call'd out the Pharisees, did not "Resist!" them. e.g. "Beware self leavening or inflating via Phariseeism" not "Resist! the leaven of the Pharisees" -- as if Jesus crypto-depended upon the Pharisees' domination as a system in which do feign "Resistance!"

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
