Martin – thanks for the comment. And I agree with what you're saying. I like the point about Bush's role in the media, it's true of every “celebrity” whose lives are on display all the time for us and yet they are not actually ourphysical”neighbor.” This makes it, as you say, much easier, and cheaper, to say we'recondemningthem, praising them and even forgiving them. I think it's always the Christian response to first look at the speck in our own eye, and to turn the question back on ourselves. It's really easy to dance around the issues. |
