So, what’s it like inside the heart of the operation of John McCain’s spiritual advisor? (And, does Schmuck Talk Express™ get a new spiritual advisor to add to his fleet every couple of weeks?)
Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone has the full lowdown, from sardonic snark on styles, to demon-cleansed women, on down.
You’ll get to read about the mashup of success Gospel/Christianized Hazelden recovery mush thought/Christian Freudianism and more.
But, then, you get into the real nutbarrery:
• Homosexuality? All caused by sexual abuse;
• “Family history”? Nope, all original sin, if not demonic influence.
• “Harry Potter” reading makes kids ill;
• Handwriting analysis is demonic
• So is philosophy.
Meanwhile, Taibbi works on developing a more convincing schtick for his drill-sergeant pastor and how to speak in tongues.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
