"Son of Sam" born again in prison. Praise the lord. Forgiven for life, realmedia. I like the guitar gently playing while he tells about his introduction to the lordy lordy. "Suddenly, tears began to well up in my eyes"..."and I felt the desire to talk to the lord". Always lots of feelings involved. Sticky mess. Worship is tacky at best.
And at worst, it's mass psychosis.
Hitler wasn't doing this in a half-empty coffeeshop. There were people there. A lot of them.
Only now, that sort of people looks more like this.
We still have icon-worship. We say it's different this time.
This passes as funny.
We're all wearing the blue dress now.
So now the VFW is mad because "Kid Rock" dressed up in the flag at the super bowl.
But what does the flag mean anymore? In a sentence, "Get pumped up to fight", as far as I can tell.
Even war is dull. We need to call it Superwar now. Selling a war, though unneccesary, makes for high presidental approval ratings. Not that he needs our approval. He didn't during the last election.
And it would take the world's bravest journalist, but I'd like to see him cruise around America, (which we stopped calling the united states at some point, if you hadn't noticed) and ask people which they love more: God, or America. I would quit my job to come home and watch that footage.
