Not the Same as Church

"The performing of the National Anthem becomes the most appropriate time to protest." Years ago -- six, to be exact -- I posted that.

"So is the Sacrament the most suitable time to protest church policies?" a friend asked.

Today, I replied -- awfully late, but we still often think of the kneeling-during-the-Anthem controversy.

Alas, I'm just seeing this six years later as it comes up on my Memories. America is about protest, allowing it. It is about free speech. Church is not about protest. We don't protest what God has done. We can protest against our government, but we don't do that with our God.
