    I agree. Maybe even worse than the attack on his daughter and family is the lack of response by anyone else.

      The problem is that wokeness has become a religion with a whole set of beliefs that are dogma to the believers.

      I think people have religious impulses built-in, and they will look for something to satisfy those impulses. For example, for a while, I attended a Unitarian Church before I got frustrated with their increasing social justice fixation. One of the key moments was when I saw this white teenage girl breaking into tears about her white privilege in front of a whole group of other all-white people. It was grotesque, but, to her, whiteness had become original sin.

      These people genuinely believe that they are doing the right thing. That's what's so scary about it.

      Not all Christian churches are good. There are some Protestant churches worth looking into, but I’m only familiar with Anglicanism, because they’re the third largest religion in Ireland (after Catholicism and Islam). But I’m sure some of those denominations are pretty based.

      There’s also Christian Orthodoxy.
