- HybridCurve 3y agoAmerican Evangelicals seem to gravitate toward their belief as a form of authoritarianism. It's less about compassion and more about incontestable moral authority over others.
- seti0Cha 3y agoAmerican Evangelical political influence has greatly waned in recent years and very little of our political discourse is now explicitly religious, yet our discourse is every bit as full of moralizing and condemnation as it ever was. I would suggest that strongly held moral beliefs always tend towards authoritarianism. Things we consider to be truly wrong we don't want being done, even when we aren't personally involved.
