RJ and Church

Submitted by Chris on 5 December 2007 - 10:53pm.
That Jensen joined a church doesn't surprise me in the least. One of the things that I kept on thinking while reading the book was how much he reminded me of certain religious figures who manage to be arrogant and self-righteous about how humbled they are before the might of God. You wouldn't think it would be possible to be arrogantly humble, but it's quite common. Similarly, Jensen spends a great deal of time confessing his own sins, telling us about how he's engaged in "rape-like" behaviors, flaunts his anguish about the misogyny of himself and other men, but in the end comes off as singularly self-righteous, the more so for all his self-condemnation.
