An unmatched guide to the religious dimensions of American politics, Jeff Sharlet journeys into corners of our national psyche where others fear to tread. The Undertow is both inquiry and meditation, an attempt to understand how, over the last decade, reaction has morphed into delusion, social division into distrust, distrust into paranoia, and hatred into fantasies―sometimes realities―of violence. Across the country, men “of God” glorify materialism, a gluttony of the soul, while citing Scripture and preparing for civil war―a firestorm they long for as an absolution and exaltation. Lies, greed, and glorification of war boom through microphones at hipster megachurches that once upon a time might have preached peace and understanding. Political rallies are as aflame with need and giddy expectation as religious revivals. At a conference for incels, lonely single men come together to rage against women. On the Far Right, everything is heightened―love into adulation, fear into vengeance, anger into white-hot rage. Here, in the undertow, our forty-fifth president, a vessel of conspiratorial fears and fantasies, continues to rise to sainthood, and the insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, killed on January 6 at the Capitol, is beatified as a martyr of white womanhood. Framing this dangerous vision, Sharlet remembers and celebrates the courage of those who sing a different song of community, and of an America long dreamt of and yet to be fully born, dedicated to justice and freedom for all. Exploring a geography of grief and uncertainty in the midst of plague and rising fascism, The Undertow is a necessary reckoning with our precarious present that brings to light a decade of American failures as well as a vision for American possibility.

Why is it when Christians decide that their religion is not about peace and love but killing war and forced conversion of people that I get really worried about my future?
Why do Christians say on one side of their mouths that they love their fellow man and out the other side say that they are evil and must die?
It is just the same as Islamic leaders calling for holy war and then saying they are a religion of peace.
I believe it is up to the true followers of Christ to speak up and defend their idea of love and peace. To do nothing is the same as agreeing with the ones that are using it for power.
The same applies to Muslims and all who follow any faith.
Those that do nothing to stop evil are the same as those that commit evil.
If I believed in God I would be worried about being judged for my inaction.

Yes, the Bible is great at telling you one thing like love everyone. Then tell you it is ok to kill them. Turn the other cheek then punch them in the face. Respect power but rebel at the first opportunity. Treat people as you wish to be treated then commit genocide. Yeah if you cherry-pick the Bible you can do anything. From sleeping with your brother’s wife to killing whole races. Not sure it is a good book for morals. Unless you want to kill your son for god.

Looks like ol’ semetic cluckers leaves the jews out of his equations of wrong religions…just coincidental of cluckers to do so, right?

bagelmonkey Since the book description deals with Christians and not Jews might just be reason enough. I notice he also didn’t include muslims or hindus. In America we have the most unique brand of Christianity in the world- Christianity without all that Christ nonsense.
“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between.” You can always count on Oscar Wilde.
