I read it hoping it would have some funny stuff. It didn’t. It was just bad sentence after bad sentence and in the second half of the article Brooks whines that more Americans should be religious Christians and he praises the “Judeo-Christian ethos”.
Something’s going on in our culture. The decline of religious participation, which was so rapid between 2010 and 2020, seems to have stopped. There has been a relative surge in religious interest among young men. According to research by the evangelical Christian polling group Barna, 66 percent of Americans say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus — a 12-percentage-point jump since 2021.
Christian nation elects a man with overwhelming support from Christians on the basis that he would do things according to their Christian principles, which he then proceeds to do
“What are we, a bunch of Pagans?”
their Christian principles
What is that they’re yelling? It’s too far away. Is it love your neighbor? Nope. Getting louder but I can’t make it out. Feed the poor? Nope. Heal the sick? Nope. I can almost make it out. Welcome the stranger? Nope. It’s… Oh…
“DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE!..”
The Biblical story of Amalek involves God punishing a dude for not genociding thoroughly enough. Christianity considers the total extermination of foreigners to be in some circumstances not just morally permissible, but the only righteous act.
Judeo-Christians, popularly known for not celebrating power, manliness, conquest, ego, fame, competitiveness and prowess.
It’s praise HIM not praise HER Liberals!
There are a lot of pagans in Ukraine too and there are Christians who like using pagan runes.
I’d bet money that Brooks thinks he’s oh so clever by starting his column on a pagan theme before seguing into how the US should be more religious and in particular more Christian. In fact - maybe he’s got a “Paganism” book in the pipeline.
Throw David Brooks into a volcano
He’s a witch! Drown him to see if he floats or something
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Remember the original meaning of pagan:
c. 1400, perhaps mid-14c., “person of non-Christian or non-Jewish faith,” from Late Latin paganus “pagan,” in classical Latin “villager, rustic; civilian, non-combatant” noun use of adjective meaning “of the country, of a village,” from pagus “country people; province, rural district,” originally “district limited by markers,” thus related to pangere “to fix, fasten” (from PIE root *pag- “to fasten”). As an adjective from early 15c.
TL;DR: OOP is effectively calling him a country bumpkin.
While high yesterday, I decided that the language of heroic mythology is what chuds use to describe/relate to Trump.

David Brooks must be so fun at parties
Hell for me would an eternal party where the only guests are me and idiot pundits like New York Times columnists. And even if [redacted] - it wouldn’t matter. They’d reappear instantly as if nothing had happened. And if they were in midsentence before [redacted] - they’d carry on right from where they were stopped as if nothing had happened.
oh, well if evangelical Christian polling group Barna says that 2/3rds of Americans say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus representing a 12 point jump in under 4 years, then that definitely, most certainly happened exactly like that.
What are we a bunch of pagans?!
