Holy Cities???

Every time I turn on the news, I hear about some "holy city" in Iraq. The truth is they all seem to look like Harvey, Illinois.

Why can't we have some holy cities?

Let me nominate a few:

Newark, New Jersey - I've heard Newark referred to as the "murder capital of the Northeast". With that many people meeting God, it's GOT to be holy.

East St. Louis, Illinois - There are places in East St. Louis awash in raw sewage. It looks like you're walking on [brown] water.

Fremont, Ohio - With a volatile mixture of Catholic migrant workers and indigenous Identity Christians, you won't see that level of religious tension west of Najaf.
