Far-Right Newspeak and the Future of Liberal Democracy edited by A. James McAdams, Samuel Piccolo.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

I am so backed up on my reading. I'm nudging through Dallas Isom's Midway Inquest, I've got Prange's Miracle at Midway up next, and then a couple of books from Dr John McManus about US Army ops in WWII. There's a couple of other books lower priority than those, I'm stacked up three thousand pages or so to get through.

Philippians. I'm alternating a book of the Bible and light genre novels. This is an interesting verse, Philippian 1:18:

"What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."

You'd think it would matter where Christ is preached in pretence or in truth.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I held off for a while but have started listening to the new books in the Lizbeth Salander series. The original author (Steig Larsson) died after the first three so I was hesitant to go on. Book four was good and so far I am enjoying book five. It helps that on Audible, the same person is narrating the books. I did notice that author number two doesn't do the next one in the series, so we'll see how that goes.

The first three were about 24 hours long where the new ones are half that length. I still need to make sure I have something to listen to on my drive next month.

Fascism on Trial: Education and the Possibility of Democracy by Henry A. Giroux. It's depressing read.

Chapterhouse Dune (again, it's been 15+ years). I like Franks stuff best but this last book of the series is a bit dull.

"The Heart's Invisible Furies" by John Boyne

It's interesting right from the first sentence

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
