Hannah, the first half of this article https://web.archive.org/web/20250828212822/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/opinion/trump-faith-humanism.html reminded me of what you've been talking about regarding tech bros and the ones who say "men are natural leaders," etc. It's an insightful read. BTW, that's an interesting quote by bell hooks.
Discussion
That's an interesting article. And I'm a fan of Brooks, I've enjoyed some of his books. But... my experience with Christianity is that it is very much about domination and authoritarianism. The Churches that I've experienced were very patriarchal and preached an abusive relationship model of the universe. Obey or suffer hell fire. I understand that Jesus said some amazing things, but that is not what was discussed in the Churches that I've been to. And so a Christian revival does not bring me a sense of hope, it brings me a sense of terror.
O, you noted the first half of the article! Yes, the first half nails it!
