Seminal Enlightenment

When I was in an interfaith seminary I noticed three models for understanding a faith community's purpose in a democratic and diverse society. 1. Conservation of SelfRighteous Anger To compete with, and thereby degenerate the powers of, sin and evil and ignorance in a monoculturally untrustable hedonistic degenerating society destined for just rewards of hellfire and damnation because untrustworthy and untruthfully obscuring privileged eco-political capitalist patriarchalism. 2. Liberating from EgoCentered Fear To rescue us individual sinners, benighted Earth defilers, from our capitalist-patriarchal competitive oppressive suppressive anti-feminist homophobic racist ageist anthropocentrism; To redeem our hopelessly negative deviant bad health choices, monoculturing, left-brain dominantly encultured verbal miscommunications, disunions, despairing experience of eternal apartheid, loneliness, unease and disease. 3. Empowering win-ego/win-eco CoMessiahs To cooperatively enlighten each Other to grow in compassion and non-violent integrity of communication, internal communion experience and external harmonic community for active eco-political hope, cooperatively empowering faith, deep learning multicultural love. When I went to Public Administration graduate school, I, thereby, noticed three models for understanding a democratic constitution's purpose in a healthy society. 1. Red Anger Management 2.
