This series of videos by YouTube user standinstan is practically made for me. Low production quality as it may be, Stan offers some of the most thoughtful discourse I’ve heard on the American evangelical movement today, and why it continues to be a source of controversy.
I urge you to watch all 4 parts, as the final video discussing the political and social implications of the evangelical movement is one of the better arguments against the politicization of religion (a major driver of modern politics, and a grave personal concern) I’ve heard articulated.
Click the YouTube logo in the lower right of the video to find parts 2-4.
This is kind of good.
