Sufjan's right: Christians create public space and keep the common good
jonnyrashid.substack.com
Advent and, in my opinion, Christianity as a whole, is about creating public places where people can experience the love of God. Unfortunately, the “state” has been propagandizing us to people that it is the keeper of public space and the common good. Of course, one could make that argument if he or she observes the public services that the state provides the propaganda does not seem so far off. Of course, it is also easy to observe our deficient and underfunded infrastructure, corroding public education system (that that same state is farming out to private corporations), and the fact that those that keep the public safe are more interested in keeping themselves safe.
