I recently described why I think “woke” has become a vacuous word that means little more than “libtard” in modern parlance. It seems apropos, then, that Christianity Today also recently released a piece that saw the editor-in-chief claim (in a previous NPR interview) that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right.
It turns out that Jesus’s teachings are increasingly considered by many Christians to be too “liberal” and “weak.”
If the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan, then Satan was the first liar, told the first lie, and humanity doomed itself by believing that lie.
These people listen to and believe liars who tell them to, among other things, “drill, baby, drill,” which will surely doom us all if believed widely enough, so the comparison is apt.
