In case you hadn’t noticed, a new fundamentalist religion has been born in the streets of America. It’s the religion of Woke.


August 3, 2020 (Turning Point Project) — In case you hadn’t noticed, a new fundamentalist religion has been born in the streets of America. It’s the religion of Woke — the religion of people who believe they have been given a special revelation about the nature of society. They have discovered that American society is irredeemably racist and heteronormative and, therefore, must be torn down.

They were blind but now they see. They were asleep but now they’re woke. And they think you ought to be woke too — even if it takes the violent occupation of city streets and squares to wake you up to the truth of their religion.

As I said, it’s a fundamentalist religion. The religion of the woke people is narrow, puritanical, and righteous. Those who don’t conform to its catechism — the heretics — are quickly expelled or “cancelled.” As with other fundamentalist faiths, the new religion appeals not to reason, but to emotions. The proof of one’s faith is shown by the repetition of mindless slogans and by passionate demonstrations of commitment.

.....I could be wrong, but usually there's more going on in the minds of those who think they're going to "tear down" and "replace" some aspects of society than just cliche slogans and passionate demonstrations of commitment.

Anyway, they won't be doing any converting on me today. Probably not tomorrow either for that matter. :rolleyes:
