But whether he wants to or not, Rogan doesn’t need to play politics to influence it. His whole ethos — curious; not particularly ideological; biased toward things that work; baffled by the state of both parties — is where so many Americans are right now. And that’s his power. He’s a mirror, when so many publications are broken glass, capable of reflecting only a shard.

 I liked this – they didn’t exhibit a desperate and almost neurotic need to be liked; therefore, for the first time in my life – I heard the truth. Yet, their words, as difficult as they might have been for me to hear, did not elicit a flight response inside me; I didn’t want to throw myself upon the churning waves once again. I wanted to remain nearby. After being lost for so long, and nearly dead, I knew that these men could help me survive. Anyway, I had nowhere else to go – like the ancient mariners, beyond the Pillars of Hercules, I knew there was nothing except an almost endless sea.

Even the fact that this traditional Christianity evades easy polarizations can hinder as much as help. It belies an underlying cherry-picking, a dominance of a valuer deciding which things she likes while discarding that which is less appealing. One advantage of ‘Nicene orthodoxy’ to contemporary believers is that its positions can be held apart from any cultural or political context, which allows one the freedom of being ‘orthodox’ in terms of Christology but thinking as one pleases about most other things. Thus many young people today, especially in mainline traditions, embrace the old ‘weird’ doctrines of resurrection and two-natures, while they either ignore the cultural and sexual mores taught by those who developed those doctrines or reinterpret them as somehow post-modern before post-modern. (E.g., the oft-repeated quip that ‘Augustine and Foucault agree: everyone is queer.’)
