One saturday morning, PG was editing pictures from The Library of Congress, and enjoying himself. (The pictures illustrate this post.) He made the mistake of looking at facebook. He saw a post about a new teenage game, knockout.
It seems like some young men like to go up to strangers and hit them on the jaw. It they are hit hard enough the fall to the ground unconscious. This is called a knockout. The young men have a good time.
While watching the video, PG remembered an incident from when he worked at redo blue. A professional Jesus worshiper shouted down and humiliated PG. When it was over, the preacher got a phone call. He picked up the phone and screamed “I never felt better in my life.”
There are many reasons why the young men like to attack strangers. Violence is glamorized, glorified, commodified and celebrated. The pain of the person attacked is not a concern.
One of the institutions distributing verbal violence is the Jesus worship church. Many believers see it as their christian duty to shout down those who disagree with them. Even the sunday morning faithful are yelled at. This verbal violence has an effect on our society.
After PG saw the video, he took a look at the rest of the page. A screen shot is included today. An ad for gospel music was next to the knockout video. You can’t get away from Jesus.
