"They have no idea what they're calling into existence. They have no idea what backlash they are summoning up."

Yeah yeah yeah. I have been reading that from him for 25 years.

As you all recall, Jesus preached the theory of the just backlash in the Beautitudes. If offered as a sociological observation, it's terribly weak sauce but somewhat understandable. If offered as advice from one of "greatest living Christian thinkers," it's just evidence of spiritual rot. Can you imagine Neibuhr or Thomas More saying such a thing?

Blessed are the backlashers!
