Welcome to Doomsday |
Welcome to Doomsday
By Bill Moyers
There are times when what we journalists see and intend to write about
dispassionately sends a shiver down the spine, shaking us from our
neutrality. This has been happening to me frequently of late as one
story after another drives home the fact that the delusional is no
longer marginal but has come in from the fringe to influence the seats
of power. We are witnessing today a coupling of ideology and theology
that threatens our ability to meet the growing ecological crisis.
Theology asserts propositions that need not be proven true, while
ideologues hold stoutly to a world view despite being contradicted by
what is generally accepted as reality. The combination can make it
impossible for a democracy to fashion real-world solutions to otherwise
intractable challenges.
