This is wild - but it might actually be the perfect theme for a Fragments successor: religious #Fundamentalism, #Esotericism, and #Parascience. Interested?

β€œFragments #5” drops this week - and it’s all about fears.

In case you missed it: my review of Mark S. Massa's important book on "Catholic Fundamentalism in America"

I muse: how conservative Christians don't seem to argue, on the basis of #Psalm 90:10, that human lives should be terminated at age 80.
Now I'm not arguing they should be, but the text does make a basis for it which is stronger than for many of the positions they hold and claim are biblical.

"Sometimes, as I spent this morning listening to a podcast recounting abuse in conservative Christian communities (in this case, Amish communities) and how the Bible was used in these communities to excuse CSA and marital rape - I wonder - how can we even turn again to a book that has served as a sanction-er for so much evil. Is it even worth trying anymore?"
