Way Too Much Pressure
Some guy got arrested in Florida on drug charges. Usually not a headline. But when the suspects’ first name is God…. the media responds. Headlines like “God Busted” “God Gets Caught Selling Drugs” and “God’s Latest Run In With The Law.” It’s hard to blame the newspapers….how often can you get my attention with a headline like that. I blame his parents. Why not George? Adolph? or Lucipher? At least the expectations would have been lowered. If you name your son after a deity, the pressure will be immense to live up the namesake. Which, by the way, is impossible in this case.
