And i argued that 9/11 was a seminal event in our period, which was 1991-2014
It was, as I called it, a 600-pound gorilla
“It
was like a movie.”
But
the effects of the 9/11 terror attacks didn’t end in 2 hours.
It’s
forever
tattoed
into U.S. popular culture.
From
movies
to national
defense, 9/11 rocked us. It exploded
our arrogance like jet-struck skyscrapers.
We
made
two wars and locked
down
constitutional freedom.
We
even pray differently. The chosen nation is humbled.
We Live in Fear Amid an Infinite War on
Terror.

FOUR WAYS 9/11 CHANGED RELIGION:
•The
Chosen Nation is Humbled,
so we pray.
•Muslim Intolerance Urged
by Patriotic Evangelists Franklin Graham & Pat Robertson.
•Interfaith Activists
Become Cool, Accepted.
•Atheists
Come out of the Closet. Claim saying,
“God on our Side” is Religious Extremism.
That’s worst than Islamic
State rhetoric,
and it’s all hypocrisy.
