I'm struck at the irony of it all: God-haunted white Christian America unwilling even to entertain what one man says, in characteristically biblical fashion--taking a page out of the OT prophetic tradition, John the Baptist and Jesus--shows that America, by and large, is enthrall to a form of national idolatry.This is a warning born of love; but for idolators this is seen as a threat or for for those whose god is the polis, who only see things in terms of political motivations, a reflection of a massive narcissistic ego (the pot calling the kettle black!).
