Weird Enuf Fer Ya? News From Barbaria #93


Alan: I have long considered "greed" the deadly sin that afflicts American conservatives with greatest disproportion. I have changed my mind. Now I believe that the pathognomic sin of American conservatives is wrath. Almost exclusively, wrathful people are conservatives. Remarkably, the sinfulness of this behavior does not even on right-wing radar. Instead wrath -- especially "the wrath of (a putatively loving) God smiting the ungodly" -- is a virtue. 
A "virtue" at whose altar conservatives prostrate themselves.

"You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out God hates all the same people you do." 
Rev. Tom Weston S.J.
