THINGS HIDDEN 72: Chris Bray on Our Grey Gardens Nation
In this THINGS HIDDEN episode, David Gornoski is joined by historian Chris Bray for a conversation on the similarities between religion and politics. What does Chris Bray mean when he says our nation is a “grey gardens nation?” Why do rich people dress like poor people nowadays? Why does the US government keep involving Americans in endless wars? How do we regain family values in this current dysfunctional society? How do we regain the righteous protection of “the least of these” in a culture full of self-professing victims?
Check out Chris Bray’s Substack here.
Excellent and stimulating discussion, gentlemen! I appreciate the points made. I had never really thought seriously about this current cultural atmosphere being a religion to many. May God have mercy on us! Also, the idea of meaning in war and even the way that extends to all of government and life.
Thank you very much for your good thoughts! Keep up the great work!
