I'm a Jesuit trained Catholic, and I can understand how so many have given up on anything that smacks of religion. Consider how Christiani
ty has been trashed in this country ever since Conservati
ves used it to justify slavery, the slaughter of Native Americans, segregatio
n, an unwillingn
ess to fund the government
, the blatant hypocrisy of "prosperit
y gospel" preaching megachurch
es...
And now, the "religious right" has merged with the Tea Party and replaced the Gospels with the propaganda of "Atlas Shrugged," and supplanted Jesus with the Jesus-hati
ng Ayn Rand, whom they've made the "Goddess" of their movement.
There is definitely a difference between spirituali
ty and religion. But the cult followers of Ayn Rand have created what I call, "The Spiritual Path of the Sociopath.
"

ty, Tea Party Cult, & The Left."
