Spengler: Neocon Gelernter Writes "Utter and Complete Rubbish"

David Gelernter in Commentary thinks the Puritanism of the founders shaded into modern Americanism,
but Spengler is having none of it.
Puritanism dissolved into Unitarianism and Boston
Brahminism after the revolution, he writes. It was replaced on the moral-cultural stage
by the Methodists and Baptists of the Second Great Awakening
who swore to end slavery and did so in the Civil War.
Now, Spengler says, we have a Fourth Great Awakening of people who
“have risen up against a soulless secular culture.”
This is not quite utter and complete rubbish
but it is not the whole story. The fundamentalists in James M. Ault’s Spirit and Flesh were
not born again because the secular culture is soulless, but their lives were wrecked, and they needed
to be born again in Christ through His sacrifice on the Cross to get off the rocks.
