The truth is it is not race alone that fuels the bias and hate of the right
It is the prospect of a world beyond superstition and the little brown church in the vale
This transition is at bottom spiritual and it has to do with things as simple as this
Is Jesus seen as the progenitor of democracy, tolerance and helpfulness
Or is Jesus seen as the vanguard of "Western values" who will whip every last enemy of the Cross and otherwise save a select number who make of religion a going business concern
Between these two poles are millions of nominal Christians
How this group keens in the coming years will probably answer whether the language of these worthies is passe or merely par for the course
Or whether the world incinerates itself or revalues values to conform with Abba's way
