I remarked just a couple of days ago that cultural minorities, especially those who were once on top, often grow violent as they are pushed to the margins of civil life.
Well, what do you know? Now comes Scott Lively to instruct the Faithful that it’s getting to be about time to grab the pitchforks.
The natural family is the ecosystem of humanity! It must be preserved at all costs.
How? By a populist uprising! The elites need to see the angry mob — liberals and conservatives together — surging through the streets, pitchforks and torches held aloft, ready to tear down Frankenstein’s castle with their bare hands if need be. For Christians it’s Jesus and the money-changers time!
Lively says further on that he is speaking metaphorically — but how likely is it that somebody dumb enough to pay attention to Scott Lively would know what that means? This reckless and deliberately inflammatory language can have no wholesome end.
