i know the feeling of thinking everyone is an idiot. that thought goes through my mind any time i hear someone on the Left open their mouth to talk about what i consider half baked, not critically examined ideas or ideologies. However, now, since my baptism into a Greek Orthodox Church, I’m trying to do something i once thought impossible and almost unspeakable. i’m trying to learn to love them and repent my anger and hatred, and pridefulness. I’ve realized that until i can love them, I’m a toxic part of the problem. Thank you for your essay and vulnerability. It seems that people of all stripes are finding their way to Christ these days. He is certainly at work everywhere in the world. i hope it’s in preparation for his return - we need help.
