Way back in 1988, at the height of his career as a recognized journalist (having made big money ghost-writing Donald Trumps biography, Art of the Deal), Tony Schwartz went on a journey to understand what was happening to the soul of America. In 1995 he published What Really Matters, an examination of the thought and practice of the leaders of the New Age Movement. He discovered a unique, made-in-America spirituality that joined Eastern and Western practice into a new American wisdom tradition that would save the world. On January 26, 2014, that spiritual tradition came out on network television in a resounding worship celebration of a new American religion.
Driven by the faith of the leading contemporary purveyors of hip-hop and rap, the moment was enthusiastically sanctioned by the prominently featured elder wise onesin particular Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Yoko Ono.
The religious service began with serious worship, led by Beyoncéat 7pm Central and 8pmEastern, while children were still watching, which is fine, since President Obama praised Beyoncé as an important role model for children, including his own. Her outlandishly sexualized dance routine, in a revealing black thong bodysuit over fishnet tights, simulating all the moves belonging solely to the privacy of the marital bedroom, was an act of heterosexual public debauchery. Her hit song, Drunk in Love served as an introductory hymn that set the worship tone for the evening. Ive been drinking I get filthy when that liquor gets into me [I cant bring myself to type all the words she sang] Drunk in love. Beyoncé proudly embraces her sexuality, draping herself in pseudo-ethical notions like pride and self-affirmation, giving the appearance of moral high-ground while groveling in the gutter.
The order of service continued with testimonies of deliverance. Ex-evangelical Katy Perry (famous for her song, I Kissed a Girl and Liked It) celebrated her apostasy, dressed up as a witch with a large red cross on her chest, and was symbolically burned at the stake. A sister in rebellion, Kacey Musgraves (who sang in church as a child) won the Country award with her ballad, Follow Your Arrow. The arrows were anti-Christian barbs at church-going and traditional ethics. Her song culminated in the exhortation to escape those old-time religion chains:
So make lots of noise, Kiss lots of boys,
Or kiss lots of girls, if thats something youre into,
When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight.
The three hour service ended on an ecstatic, unholy high note. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Grammy for Best New Artist), began the finale with their hit song Same Love, which has become an anthem in the gay community. Its religious overtones are easy to see:
America the brave still fears what we dont know
And God loves all his children is somehow forgotten.
Whatever god you believe in, we come from the same one;
Strip away the fear, underneath, its all the same love
About time that we raised up!

But there is hope. Those watching or attending the church of the Grammys are made in Gods image and will one day be disillusioned with the lie. Christians shine as lights by telling the truth in a dark world. This is our Think Tank theme next week. If you want to learn to shine, buy a plane ticket to Escondido, and come hear some true, good news!
