Polite people don't talk about politics and religion!

Fuck that! This is an absolutely fascinating segment of Fresh Air, with former evangelical Christian Frank Shaeffer. The headline says it's about abortion, but it's really about much, much more. I don't know if he just hit his head, or somebody spiked his Jesus juice with truth serum, or what...but it's so interesting to hear someone who is

Thanks for that

Without your link, I'd never have heard the broadcast, and it was worth hearing.

Frank's book "Crazy About God" or "Crazy For God" or whatever is interesting reading, especially if you grew up in that stuff....

Ah, religion; how much oppression, how many atrocities are you guilty of? (smiling)

Seriously though, thanks for the link. It's very fascinating stuff. I tend to believe that the vast majority of people in this world who could live better lives by making a choice to change, never make that choice. But this is nice to hear.

It's especially interesting to me, since I am not old enough to remember a time where conservative Christians weren't whoring themselves out to politics. And Frank in this interview mentions of such a time.

Thanks again.

I think that's great and so true
