Always more battles ahead in the culture war

Friends of mine and I share almost identical theological views. Like me, they are concerned about the popular culture and what our kids absorb from it. When the Civil War epic "Gods and Generals" was released, we agreed that its positive portrayal of Christian men and women was terrific and very unusual in a mainstream movie. But they agonized over whether to let their children watch it because of the scenes featuring General Stonewall Jackson — and his wife — chatting quietly in bed together. I, on the other hand, was saying to my kids, "See? See? That's a husband and wife! That's how it should be! Isn't that great?"

It was not only Christian men and women who gave their all for the North and South. I once read the letter from a confederate soldier's description of a fierce battle his unit had engaged in. I was struck by his comment that went something like: " Minnies were flying like rain, through it all, our brave Jew major calmly sit his horse with cigar in mouth, rallying the boys to give it to them as the enemy charged,

Of course it would not be PC to portray Jews such as one mother who said, she would have disowned all her sons if they had not volunteered to fight for the South. Or that the only Hebrew military cemetery outside the state of Israel is the Hebrew Confederate cemetery located in Richmond Virginia.
