14. If Chris showed up at my house...I might get into some Push Back on

some of what he says...but, in general, I think he's a voice that's been missing on the LEFT about the Morality of WHAT we are doing. If you check his background...you could see there's a huge MORAL tinge to all his posts.

For us "Unchurched" ...I've often wondered what would replace what we "Used to Believe."

I like Chris...because of that...even though I have some quibbles with some of what he says (going further) ...I think he's a VOICE for our AGE...of the "UnChurched."

There are many here on DU that to mention "Morals and Church"...would run screaming and in horror...about Morality and Stuff. But...I truly believe that's an underlying problem in our Dialogue with each other these days. We need some kind of consensus on "What Goes Too Far in Public Behavior" that is either Acceptable or Unacceptable....to move Civilization forward. The stuff over Anthony Weiner...is but one example..but, there are more.

Should Who we Elect be scrutinized...and through WHAT LENS? Our Morals, Their Morals...or the Morals of the "Commons." And...what would those MORALS be?

That's what I wonder about...going forward.
