balmofgileadWhat a cool guy. I heard part of an interview with him on TV tonight. He's an evangelical Christian who "actively eschews political labels, but his advocacy tends to focus on issues of peace and social justice." It bugs me a bit to realize that I have some strong hatred for religious people in general because of the religious = right-wing conservative = bad bit. In truth it's not their religion (or religiousness) I hate, it's some of the values that they espouse.
If my brain were less mushy I'd link this to the concept of having a sense of communion with the world somehow. When religion (or political consultants who convince religious people that God's top issues are preventing gay marriage and abortion) divides people, it interferes with that.
I'm having one of those "everything I say or write feels like it's phrased poorly" days.
