Last night, while on the eliptical at the YMCA, I watched Sean Hannity's program. Actually, I kept switching back and forth between Hannity and Larry King (on CNN), but King's show was about Michael Jackson, and I'm a bit tired of that.
Anyway, twice before going to a break Hannity said, "Let not your heart be troubled." Obviously taken from John 14:1. I wondered, What's with that? Because the rest of the verse says, "You believe in God. Believe also in me." So...is this what he was saying?
"Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me, Sean Hannity."
Whatever he was trying to say, I wish he'd stop. It's a biblical reference out of context.
He's already using Martina McBride's "Independence Day" totally out of context. That song is really about a woman's battle with domestic abuse and how she eventually escaped from it--her independence day. It has nothing to do with patriotism, as Hannity's usage implies.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
