The New York Times columnist perceives a religious revival in the land, but despairs because it’s not of the mainline Protestant/liberal Catholic kind. Poor Nick Kristof. He perceives that the country is undergoing a spiritual revival, but he despairs that it’s not of the mainline Protestant-liberal Catholic kind. He’s afraid those of us who actually believe in the historical Christian faith will turn into Talibaptists. It never fails to amaze me how otherwise intelligent, sophisticated and worldly people fail to perceive the vast qualitative gulf between conservative Christians and Islamofascists.
