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 6^th 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.

Attack on the United States Capitol Washington, D.C

June 16, 2022

Honorable Members of the House Select Committee —

A stake was driven through the heart of American democracy on January 6, 2021, and our democracy today is on a knife’s edge.

America was at war on that fateful day, but not against a foreign power. She was at war against herself. We Americans were at war with each other — over our democracy.

January 6 was but the next, foreseeable battle in a war that had been raging in America for years, though that day was the most consequential battle of that war even to date. In fact, January 6 was a separate war unto itself, a war for America’s democracy, a war irresponsibly instigated and prosecuted by the former president, his political party allies, and his supporters. Both wars are raging to this day.

The Jan. 6th Insurrection

A violent Jan. 6th insurrection engulfed the U.S. Capitol just seventeen months ago. The January 6th committee is about to have public hearings on the subject next week. Many Republican leaders are already trying to rewrite the history of that day and what led up to it. This is an effort to deflect from why it happened. Ben Jealous wrote an op-ed on the Jan. 6th Insurrection a while back that I feel is the real reason many Republicans want to re-write history.
