yo lucas! i'm always impressed with your passion and beauty of your writings.

i wonder what you think about this. in your article in Sourjourners, you point out the systematic nature of our depravity. our inner hydra often sets up beasts of systems that oppresses and perpetuates injustice, such a way that we're often born into a world where sin becomes inevitable. if we can admit to this, then, shouldn't we admit the idea that each person, in the 'right' system, would be formed into a person who would and could do the unthinkable? i too find sauls' defence of blackburn (not sure if he publicly defends her) or lack of rebuke disturbing, but your equating sauls' claim of possessing inner hitler to actual white supremacists attempt to make hitler acceptable... at the very least, not charitable? would love to hear more from you on this.
