It Was Inevitable

Is the NFL Reaping the Whirlwind?

I tend not to get outraged by our post-Christian society any longer.  A world without religion is a world filled with moral children, flailing about for something to believe in that is also completely under their control.  That is impossible, of course, so that leads to frustration and what educators and psychologists refer to as "acting out".  As the dominant feature of 21st century life is narcissism [The Age of Selfie], all acts of demonstration are primarily designed to draw attention to the demonstrator rather than his or her cause.

I am amused that, a mere two years ago, that ingratiating fellow who played for the Denver Broncos for a bit [Tebow?] knelt in prayer before a game and that outraged....wait, make that OUTRAGED!...the media and some politicians, with the giggling support of the late night court jesters.  Of course, that was genuflection to God, rather than to the god of the moment, whatever or whomever that may be.
