She doesn’t really understand what Christianity is. People like this brings to mind what Flannery OConner said that “In the absence of faith, we govern by tenderness. And tenderness leads to the gas chamber.”

Good quote. Flannery always sort of grossed me out, but I should reread.

I love that Flannery O’Connor quote. She reitered the same idea several times. See tagline.
