What the hell are patriotic symbols doing inside a church? After a grueling two hours struggling to keep awake whilst a soft-spoken priest talked about "christian morality," it was quite ironic to see the values of the "one-world-salvation" the Catholic church believed in shot to hell by the presence of an American flag by the doors past the baptismal font. Worse yet, for the sending-forth song they sang "America the Beautiful." Granted it's no "Amazing Grace", but it's still on my low list including "God Bless America" and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" for a song about the country.
I think I'm finally seeing signs of the things I wished would not re-surface; I fear the church may be approaching something like the Holy Crusades of medieval times. Afterall, why do you think the U.S. sided so vehemiantly with the Israelies than the Palestinians? Personally I don't buy that "making the world safe for democracy" reason.
... I was going to post about something more personal (concerning an old present) but it seems the affairs of the world are more important than the troubles in one's head. Or at least everyone says they are. Especially if the troubled mind is behind the movements of a country.
Yep, we're all relativists here.
