text: The same can be said of the pro-life movement, which is the Evangelical Right and the Catholic Bishops and those who believe their line. Both are entirely partisan and disgustingly authoritarian. The theology is pretty bad too about sex, including ordaining women. Someone like Russell Moore should talk about them too.
  
  Like E.J., I remember arguing with my father about religion and politics.  I think that fathers who allow this also allow their kids to become intellectual. He is correct on the need for religion and politics to relate.  Brooks is correct about the narcisism of writing. His experieces of spirituality are inspiring.  He talks about communitarian religion over utilitarianism, but I favor a more humanistic morality that is, essentially, utilitarian. If God is not a humanist than he is a fairy tale. Sin, therefore, is a problem because of its effect on us, not its effect on God.
