Highlights
Section titled “Highlights”- Mortality is a good thing to embrace, like we all said on Ash Wednesday, until, well, our mortality becomes real. I’m allowed to contemplate my mortality with ashes on my head, but God can’t act in history to bring that mortality to mind. Because if God is involved in mortality then that God is a monster. So which is it, people? Is mortality a good thing or a bad thing? Here’s what I think. I think there was a lot of hypocrisy on Ash Wednesday. There we were, insulated by our affluence and the wonders of modern medicine, sharing on Twitter how good it was to contemplate our mortality. Then shit got real and we collectively freaked out. Apparently, all our mortality awareness was a bit of a show, a lot of theological virtue signalling on Twitter.
