You'll Never Guess What These Guys Are Doing... And Why
(See the "reveal" below.)
Alan: Too frequently, religiosity is a cover-up for cruelty.
Often this cruelty arises from the need for "salvation assurance." And one of the easiest ways to feel confident about one's place in paradise is to look down on the damned.
An unexpected "downside" to the innate superciliousness of salvation assurance is the correlative belief (typically unconscious) that if God "signs off" on eternal torment, surely we -- his designated agents on earth -- can not only feel good about the torment that afflicts "The Lost" but even feel good accelerating the speed with which lost souls receive their eternal "reward."
And so begin inquisitions, the Albigensian genocide and Islamist jihad.

The Hard, Central Truth Of Contemporary Conservatism
The hard, central "fact" of contemporary "conservatism" is its insistence on a socio-economic threshold above which people deserve government assistance, and below which people deserve to die.
The sooner the better.
Unless conservatives are showing n'er-do-wells The Door of Doom, they just don't "feel right."
To allay this chthonic anxiety, they resort to Human Sacrifice, hoping that spilled blood will placate "the angry gods," including the one they've made of themselves. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/09/harvard-study-45000-americans-die.html
Having poked their own eyes out, they fail to see that self-generated wrath creates "the gods" who hold them thrall.

The Evangelical Persecution Complex
(Projection's Finest Hour)
Almost "to a man," contemporary "conservatives" have apotheosized themselves and now -- sitting on God's usurped throne -- are rabid to pass Final Judgment.
Self-proclaimed Christians, eager to thrust "the undeserving" through The Gates of Hell, are the very people most likely to cross its threshold.
Remarkably, although they are prone to believe all manner of Trumpeted nonsense, none of them are tempted to believe in their own spiritual peril.
