In this video:- As we face challenges posed by authoritarian group Inc we have to ask the question about why people sign up to anti-rational anti-intellectual authoritarian orthodoxies that are so destructive and dangerous. Dietrich Bonhoeffer in his opposition to the Nazis suggested that confronting evil was painful, dangerous and difficult but at least it was possible. But confronting stupid people was virtually impossible and a waste of time. What was needed was a moment of moral disclosure which took place when God became the first choice in their mind and heart, and only then. The difficulty of a Bonhoeffer was that impossible that stupid people were impossible to talk to and impossible to argue with and what was needed was this moment of moral revelation to set them free.
