a weird one about Waco, Texas (that incident that I vaguely know of but, because it happened when I was less than a year old, means nothing to me) and how it would be useful to see from the point of view of a religious person? i agree with the sentiment to some degree but i don't really see how it connects to Waco. i also believe in a more nuanced understanding of religion but i think his personal balancing point is a bit off

the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind

the heavy eschatological issues that lie just below the surface of religion are simply too icky and troublesome to think about
