The first thing I see when tuning in is some choir singing the Battle Hymn of The Republic.
There is something really perverse about taking a song about freeing slaves and singing it in honor of a man who is about to unleash fascist goon squads on immigrants.

“His truth is marching on”
is it!!??

Carrie Underwood singing “America The Beautiful” all somberly after Trumps speech full of racist dog whistles and petty grievances made my eyes want to roll out the back of my skull.
And I had to turn it off when the Rabbi and Reverend and whoever else were going to start leading prayers.

It’s all just show to these people…just ritual they never bother trying to internalize.
They don’t care about God’s Grace…or His Will…or Filial Love.
It fills my heart with such deep sadness, it’s hard to describe.

This is how we Hallow His Name?
I feel such deep shame in being a Christian and an American and a human.
Every day we fail him and it’s only by his everlasting love and steadfast mercy we will be spared.
