Don't always agree with Jason Whitlock, but this is one hell of an interesting article. Through his analysis of the murder of former Tennessee Titan quarterback Steve McNair, Whitlock dives into death's effect on one's memory and the role of father in modern America. All-in-all at least raises some excellent questions.
No matter what varying degrees of God complexes each person possesses, in the end, we are, in fact, human. No one is perfect, mistakes are inevitable. However, there is a large difference between forgiving the dead of their pass transgressions and building them up to be martyrs. No matter how untimely and tragic your death is, there is no reason to make that person into a saint if they didn't deserve to be (and I think very few are). We are not saints...we are human...and that is a two-way street. Check it.
