A TALE OF TWO CULTURES
Two written statements (one woke and one evangelical) resonated with me when I was recently in Las Vegas and in Albuquerque. A sign on a restroom in a public park in Las Vegas read: “All-gender restroom: anyone can use this restroom regardless of gender identity or expression.” I had never seen in person such explicit inclusive information about access to a bathroom. Across the partisan divide, I came across an Albuquerque born-again weather forecast site (weatherforyou.com) that ended with this unequivocally theological statement: “Like all things, this site belongs to Jesus Christ... He just trusts us to maintain it.”
We live in two radically opposed worlds seeking hegemony in America: let’s keep the battlefield purely verbal. As long as perceived inflammatory rhetoric is not a call to arms, and we don’t get buffaloed, viva la difference between the ultra-left and the ultra-right.
