An Open Letter to White Evangelicals: We’re Done With You

An open letter to white evangelicals: we're done with you

I found an interesting letter from Christian pastor John Pavlovitz. He speaks to what’s clearly wrong with Christianity in America. He called it “An Open Letter to White Evangelicals: We’re Done With You.” He was trying to point out what he sees in the evangelical movement today and why it is problematic.


Dear White Evangelicals,

I need to tell you something: People have had it with you. They’re done. They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why:

They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy.

“Violence is the Last Refuge of the Incompetent”

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent

When someone does not have supportive arguments for their ideals and plans, that leads to them implementing their very ideals and plans through force.  This is exactly what I think the January 6th insurrection was all about. To me it’s down to just plain ignorance. As Issac Asimov said, “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov famously called violence “the last refuge of the incompetent.” But violence — self-defense excepted — is also the last refuge of the loser, the last gasp of those who have no more words, the tacit confession of those who know, but are loath to admit, that they got nothing’. If you can’t win the argument, win the fight. A mantra for thugs, bullies, and many Republicans. This is now normal politics. Republicans no longer talk policy or ideas; they only threaten to take away your rights or punish you if you do not bow down to their way.

Hello world!

Welcome to my site. I use this as a place to just write down my thoughts about things going on around the world.  Do not take anything as personal, remember, “It’s My View”.
