And it's not that I don't think that the religious conservatives in the main are largely right about those areas or youth transition for minors, et cetera. voice-verified

It's that that then becomes the thing, the thing, the unconditional thing. voice-verified

And an enormous amount of human misery generated by injustice, violence, and corruption in other areas is just sort of not as important. voice-verified

And that's the thing that really stumps me and really, I think, is a gigantic failure of moral reasoning. voice-verified

I'm voice-verified

And voice-verified

Well, and also here's the interesting thing about it to me, or a very interesting thing, is that the more holistically you will talk about politics, the less effective the church will be as a partisan. voice-verified

Exactly. voice-verified

And the reason for that is the more holistic and the more broad minded and sort of the more you sweep in like matters of justice, which the scripture talks about more than it talks about matters of sexuality. voice-verified

The more complicated it gets and the more difficult it is to sort of forge this artificial unanimity that has been forged in the church. voice-verified

Because if you're talking about how do we alleviate child poverty, voice-verified

if you're talking about how do you preserve peace and prevent war, if you're talking about how do you create a greater sense of equity and justice in the American prison system, those things are really hard, really hard, and people with good faith are gonna have lots of good faith disagreement on how to do it, which would make us in the long run voice-verified

in the long run, far more a home of real cultural and political influence because our engagement will be thoughtful. voice-verified

It'll be driven by knowledge more so than impulse. voice-verified

But if you can boil it down to row or no row, voice-verified

right, then you can forge an 82%. voice-verified

Or if you boil it down to trans in sports or no trans in sports, then you can get your 82%. voice-verified

And so that's the kind of the catch 22 that we're in. voice-verified

If we become more holistic and more biblical, we will become less unified and potent in partisan politics. voice-verified

But if we're more holistic and biblical, it's going to be better for everybody, including our partisan politics. voice-verified
