From GQ:
For what it’s worth—and since I actually looked it up—the violent-crime
rate here in America has plummeted since 1990, even as church attendance
has stayed the same. And, of course, Phil is conveniently ignoring
centuries upon centuries of war, bloodshed, and human enslavement
committed in the name of Christ. But I doubt any of that would sway
Phil. And anyway, I’m a guest in his house and he is my welcoming host,
so I smile politely and nod like the milquetoast suburban WASP that I
am. If you can’t reconcile some of the things Phil says with his
otherwise friendly demeanor—perhaps because you are gay, or a duck—I
don’t blame you.
