Suskind, NYT Magazine

Suskind's article landed in my inbox somehow. I'll respect the copyright and not post it, but it is, as they say, a must read. Concluding passage, quotes from Jim Wallis, pastor and one-time Bush friend:

‘‘Where people often get lost is on this very point,’’ he said after a moment of thought. ‘‘Real faith, you see, leads us to deeper reflection and not — not ever — to the thing we as humans so very much want.’’

And what is that?

‘‘Easy certainty.’’
