re: "The Atlanta Massacre and the Media’s Morality Plays" (The New York Times, March 23, 2021)
But religious mania loves its morality plays. Perhaps the media remain too much under the thrall of unreason that founds all religious mania?
More regular doses of critical thinking, perhaps by reading the great philosophers, might help to both treat the lingering after effects of exposure to the same toxic religious ideology that prompted the killer to commit his murders and also provide a therapeutically broader perspective of how such events reflect on the society that births them.
