Idolatry, Take 2
The issue is not a political one. Republicans or democrats, no human can stand in the place of the Savior. And yet so many of us turn to them in worship. Eighty-five thousand people did on Thursday night. Idolatry, ultimately, is a flawed, failed attempt to find salvation. Golden calves, sex, money, Obamas, McCains. Though people turn to these idols positively--they do so for the sake of happiness, love and acceptance--the result is always negative. Idols are only able to offer promises. Christ gives life.

I'm assuming you're familiar with "A Savior on Capitol Hill" by Derek Webb. Great song. In fact, the ablum it's on, The Ringing Bell, is a great album.
Yeah, great song Annie. BTW Ryan, I love the video too: "He Completes Us". Oh my goodness.
