“The Bible tells us we are supposed to pray for our enemies — even the worst of them. Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden — there isn’t an asterisk that says, ‘… unless they’re really bad, in which case, never mind.’ … Hunter Biden isn’t even my enemy. He’s just a garden-variety dumbass with a very famous father. But it still isn’t easy to be sympathetic. Not for me, anyway. That isn’t something to be proud of. Whatever the madding crowd may try to convince you in 2024, hatred is not a marker of moral seriousness, clarity, or urgency. It’s just a natural itch that it feels good to scratch, and we happen to live in a society that feels the need to moralize its pleasures.” (06/14/24)
