A very good book on the evolution of Christian churches away from the New Testament and toward the political right is The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory by Tim Alberta.

Formatting note. I'm using substack app on Android with dark mode. I didn't see any dividers between sections. Just noticed a slightly longer break between paragraphs.

The rate per 100,000 of murders committed by Blacks is also "disproportianate". Depending on location by 10, 20, 30 times.

Murders do not kill because Mommie denied them another cookie.

The murderers get the attention for only one reason - they are still alive to interview. There are no victims to defend, interview, and make fame and money off of. IF THERE WERE, you would, I'll bet, be covering their lives.
