And The Politicians And Journalists Go Along

"When people substitute wish-fulfillment for critical thinking, fantasy for imagination, self-validation for disciplined inquiry, you get the sort of tissue-paper-thin spiritual expression that ornaments current best-seller lists, talk-show platitudes, and church mediocracy. 'Wouldn’t it be cool if?' modulates into, 'As we all know. . .' without argument or examination.”

-- A.K.M. Adam, Biblical scholar, theologian, author, priest, technologist and blogger, on the Mystic Bourgeoisie
