One thought on “What we learned last night, above all, is that democracy is stupid and should be universally banned. The solution is to abolish democracy completely, and replace it with nationalistic, populist authoritarianism.”
"The religion of evangelicalism was invented by and for baby-boombers. It is basically a feel-good ecstasy cult. These churches all have rock n’ roll music. Seriously."

Evangelicalism, Evangelical Christianity, or Evangelical Protestantism[a] is a worldwide, transdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity maintaining that the essence of the gospel consists in the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ's atonement. Evangelicals believe in the centrality of the conversion or "born again" experience in receiving salvation, in the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity, and spreading the Christian message.
It gained great momentum in the 18th and 19th centuries with the Great Awakenings in the United Kingdom and North America. The origins of Evangelicalism are usually traced back to English Methodism, the Moravian Church (in particular the theology of its bishop Nicolaus Zinzendorf), and German Lutheran Pietism.
