How can the author not see that Woke is exactly the kind of rigid all-encompassing religion that he claims is the draw for the people he cites??

Additionally, it has the draw of being cool and ascendant. It controls every institution in America. It allows you to metaphorically stone to death apostates. That’s mighty attractive to a lot of lost angry people.

Wow, what an interesting post. Just because much of Christianity has gone soft in accommodating way, I see no reason to abandon orthodox Biblical Christianity. I have never understood the faithful evangelicals who convert to Catholicism because it involves the adoration and virtual worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus. To convert to Islam because it takes itself seriously strikes me in a similar way. I am interested in the truth. Islam and the Koran have not proven their authenticity while the Bible is the most authentic and true of ancient literature. Yes, there is a certain beauty in the liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox Church but does that Church provide a better path to the deep truth represented by Jesus? I do not think so. It is good for people to pursue religious truth.
