The Map

it impossible for me to comprehend how a Christian can kill a non-Christian who is thereby prevented from turning to Christ, just as it is also beyond me how any Christian can kill another Christian at the orders of state military leaders.
A Farewell to Mars

Sentimentalists, still running on the fumes of Christian hope, love to gesture toward economies of "abundance." But their post-metaphysical worldview, which reduces the world to material competition in a world of scarce goods, actually lends support for neo-liberalism. As I describe in *The Slavery of Death*, as finite creatures in a world with finite resources, we are inexorably drawn into rivalry, fear, and violence as we try to allocate scarce goods. So if you're going to ask anyone in this struggle--individuals, corporations, or nations--to lay down their arms to embrace communitarianism and mutualism, along with creation care, well, you're going to need more than artistically expressed angst. You need to be right.
Put simply, if the world is going to change you need to proclaim a transcendent vision of the true, the beautiful and the good. This is true and this is false. This is right and this is wrong. This is beautiful and this is ugly.
