Cooties! The Future of American Christianity and Politics.

Hey kids.

Alicecheshirecat recently talked a little bit about what’s going on in christianity and the Millenials, by way of statistics. I wanted to follow up with a little bit of completely non-statistical business on the hoo-hah happening at the Episcopal Chuch. First, let me tell you that what has been happening there is very important for gay rights, for Christians, for Millenials, and therefore for America.

Soundbyte version: the Episcopal church consecrated a gay bishop, everybody freaked, and the church is probably going to split.

I think this reformation and split is unimaginably good, because (as I’ve said before) I believe that lasting meaningful political change in this country is probably not possible without a reevaluation of Christ, and that non-christians can play a role in that. (That is, that we christians must reevaluate Christ, and the heathens can help. Not that the heathens have to at all accept Lord Jesus as personal savior.) I’ll spare you that argument here, but for you extra credit kids, go here, or here.
