Re: COVID-19 The 7th Part: We're Gonna Be Number One Soon!
Dietrich Bonhoeffer referred to the millions of German "spiritual corpses" who worshipped in the pews of German churches while all around them the Nazis defiled Christian ideals and practices. For many in America it's the same thing. The jingoism and cheap, phony grace (to borrow a concept from Bonhoeffer) displayed at virtually every sporting event in major college or professional leagues is in my view nothing more than an insult to anyone who put on a uniform for the right reasons (whether or not I agree with their own personal or particular path at arriving at the "right" reasons). Instead of cheering for them at the first media timeout of the second period, let's instead make sure the VA is funded so well I never again need to see Trace Adkins beg me to send money to the Wounded Warrior Project. In an America that actually honored service, an organization like that would never have been formed.
