Texas Monthly Magazine bum steer awards

Post by FCOCER »

The latest edition of TM came out and a coC made the Bum Steer list. They had a gospel meeting with the subject being dangerous isms. Included in the list were Islamism and Judaism. Left out of the list was racism.

I don't think 'islamism' is actually a thing.

I can't say I'm astonished though, that a coc would publish such a thing.
History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.

Congrats to them for making the Texas Monthly. That's big!! :lol:

I can think of several more that I bet they left off the "ism" list:

dogmatism
narcissism
fanaticism

This is awesome! And to think I just dropped my subscription.

My dad subscribed to TM from the very first issue. He didn't keep it more than 5 or 6 years, as I recall, but I've subscribed off and on through the years.

I remember after Jimmy Carter was elected that they ran an issue advising Texans how to be Southern. It was hilarious!

Without even googling that, I already know what that one is about.

I think it will be a cold day in hell when the C of C addresses the problem of racism in society.

Sadly I think I agree with that because rarely does the CoC speak as a group.

Individually members have made efforts but where I live there are some that still argue the state's rights issue was the core cause of the civil war in spite of the facts that most states expressly, Texas was one, offered up slavery as a primary objective of secession. It was written directly in to the state constitutions! Just because a state has 10th amendment authority does not give it the right to enslave someone else and violate the primary right of an individual to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Never understood how a "christian" could argue such positions.
