“I just want to add something that I don’t think was fully explored in Episode 5 when talking about the guy who shot up the massage parlor:
The delusional cycle that allows that kind of thinking is rooted in the Heroic personal narrative of evangelical white culture:
One is at war with the devil, sin, and the World (whom the devil is the lord of.)
Therefore if you are succumbing to sin, you are under *assault*, and the heroic narrative also lionizes martyrs.
So enacting an act a violence on the source of your sin is an act of martyrdom against the fallen world.
I hope you will explore this kind of thinking at the heart of evangelical thought in the future.
Good luck to you and all your endeavors, this is a tour de force of research and presentation.
Bravo.”
