Inevitable

The traditional perps have become the vics. We fall over each other to politely and politically talk about the “narrative that allows this to happen”. “How does the West address radicalism and social threat?”

“The normalisation of terror.”

“An attack on them is an attack on us”

Faith, peace, obedience, submission.

In the same month that two of the most senior reps in the Catholic church have been either indicted or jailed for sex crimes, is the same week that we see yet another mass-murder performed in the name of god.

Clarity and epistemology is required here. 

Faith is the enabler and found wanting.

These things could not happen in a secular, rationalist society.

If the response to the great spiritual and moral questions is “still working on it,” society will be a bit bland, but bland in the right way.

I am appalled but not surprised at what happened.

It will always happen when people can call “Faith” and abrogate responsibility.
