@JYSexton 2/ Going further still, our root challenge is not so much with American religion as much as it is with the consciousness of religious ethno-nationalism in its entirety, worldwide. Though, of course, it’s perhaps fair to assume that where American religion goes, so goes the Earth.

@ShaneClaiborne 1/ We’re not alone or special in this regard: Crusaders, Jihadists, Zionists, Hindutvavadis, 969ers...everybody’s at it. So, given that the threat such universalism represents is to the entirety of life on earth, perhaps a fix is required and occurs (only) at the planetary level?

Quoted by@scott_m_coley @UniteThePoor 2/ The threat posed, not only to church and country, but universal and planetary, too. Indeed, religious fascism, a raging, global phenomenon, just now. As such, we should hardly be surprised a coherent response involves transcendent political intervention at the planetary level.Quoted by@stewartdantec 2/ Cone’s spot on. World-reality includes and transcends theology within the living experience as distinct from concept of God. This, a universal or ‘planetary’ claim: the contemporary Indian master, Mata Amritanandamayi, revered by millions: “Experience is the only true Guru.”
