American Taliban 0

A caller shares some stories about the antics of what he I think most aptly refers to as “Talibangelicals.”

Aside:

I was brought up Southern Baptist before the Texans took over the Southern Baptist Convention, or, to put it another way, when the SBC was sane.

I’ve read the Bible multiple times (mostly the Jerusalem translation, because in my opinion it best blends modern English with lyricism). It was a great comfort to me when my first marriage broke up. Nevertheless, I must say I haven’t read it recently, mainly as a visceral reaction to the antics of right-wing they-call-themselves Christian evangelicals merchants of hate.

These “Talibangelicals” worship no Jesus that I know.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
