Satirizing Post-Evangelicals

December 2nd, 2010 | 1 min read

The below video has been making the rounds.

Substantively, it can't seem to figure out who it's satirizing. I get the sense that Wendell Berry readers (and I am one!) aren't the sort who will run around calling themselves post-Constantinians, wearing graphic t-shirts, and going to churches that meet in bars. And turn toward sexual repression at the end is just odd.

Even where I agree with some of their satirical points, I'm not generally a fan of anonymity in such matters.

What do you think?
