The religion columnist for the NYT decided to weigh in on the importance of Lent in Christian theology. She warned of false idols and as the column progressed she compared Americans' worship of guns as equivalent to the false idol analogy. Still a fair critique as far as i am concerned, but then the argument went off the rails.
After identifying the gun idolatry as a primarily right wing problem, she immediately stated the left was equally guilty of setting up idols. She did not provide a single example of left wing idolatry and concluded the column exhorting "both sides" to examine their adherence to the teachings of Christ. Case closed.
