As an aside, each paper I read gives me 5+ more papers that sound interesting/relevant. I may very well spend my semester break reading those for fun!

I did not anticipate this when I set out with this as my topic, and I am grateful to all the authors and thinkers and contributors who have brought up these incredible (and important!!) points.

And if you haven’t read Jesus & John Wayne yet, plz go do so. It traces the incredibly relevant history of the rise of christian nationalism.

The only thing that was consistently good about Lost was its music.
