What’s next for Ukraine? Let’s remember what this war is about

“However, faced with brutal repression by the Russians, then the Nazis, then the Russians again, and now Putin (Russia again), the record is clear: Whether it was from Lenin and Stalin starving the Ukrainian people to cow them into submission, or from death squads during World War II, the Ukrainian people have suffered and yet retained a distinct Ukrainian cultural identity.” - World

“Today’s Christian right is an unfamiliar force with its own distinct, and often unsettling, priorities.”
Well, it’s RNS (and also ‘opinion’), but there’s a lot of truth in that observation. I would just insert ‘quasi’ before Christian, I think. Or maybe ‘culturally Christian’ would be a good term… or better yet, “people vaguely theistic but fond of speaking Christianese.” The new right has lots of those.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

The new right also has many people from our churches. I recently unfriended 3 BJU graduates who are pastors at IFB churches, because I was tired of their posts embracing the craziness of the far right. I can just guess what their congregations are like.
