The Coldplay Kiss Cam Couple: More Than Just a Meme
Sponsor: realestateforlife.org
The viral reaction of the Coldplay kiss cam couple—fleeing in shame—exposes a universal human awareness of moral guilt, not just fear of being caught. This points to a deeper spiritual truth: we are alienated from our own nature and haunted by an ideal of what we ought to be. Unlike animals, humans carry shame and self-judgment, which materialism cannot explain. Only Christianity offers a real solution by addressing this rupture through the redemptive work of Christ, rather than merely demanding moral effort after the fact.
