Now, if that feels like a prickly thought to you, I want you to know that that is entirely my intent. We are closer as a nation in terms of our ethics to the night that Jimmy Lee Jackson was shot at Max than we are to Paul's vision of our life in Christ. That this is true requires our repentance and then our desire to move closer to god and in order to make that turn, we have to give up very important things about how we describe ourselves to ourselves and to each other. But until we take on our own mythology, we will never be fully incorporated into the life of Christ.
