The gun fetish movement is growing in political power and hold over the debate. It seems to me another word for a fetish is idolatry. We have elevated something to its highest, almost sacred status that it can't be touched or challenged anyway. Anxiety is actually the main emotional driver for people to have the need for guns.
This week, Curtis kicks off a two parter on the tough subject of guns in America. Part 1 is a Good Faith Classic where Curtis and David explored the tensions between gun culture and gun control in our hyper-polarized environment. They help us take a step back to think through the “how” of approaching such a complex issue versus just the “what” of our preferred policy outcome. Stay tuned for next week’s Part 2 episode where Good Faith explores what a Christian response to gun violence could look like.
