Perhaps you've heard that the people from the Make A Wish foundation just spent a fortune, and thousands of unpaid man hours from "flash mob" volunteers, to fulfill a young cripple's desire to be Batman for a day:
Batkid saves San Francisco from villains for Make-a-wish dream
Batkid in San Francisco draws large crowds, wins over city
Basically, they had actors playing super villains such as The Riddler, and tons of people along the route of this phony adventure cheering the kid on as he "arrested" the super villains and "saved" San Francisco.
There's just so much wrong with this, not the least of which being the fact that this little cripple did not earn anything that happened on that day! He was never in any real danger from those crooks, who weren't even real crooks, and there was never any question that they would surrender to him, because everything had been orchestrated in advance!
So the lesson they're teaching this soft young man is clear: Be a freeloader. Expect praise you haven't earned. Just give the appearance of making an effort, and everything will be handed to you on a silver platter.
It's a shame I wasn't allowed to organize this event, because I would have done it the right way!
First of all, we would have started the day with a breakfast of hardtack and black coffee, during which I would have given that boy some straight talk about the fact that his parents must have truly angered the Lord something fierce, otherwise he would not have been born a cripple.
Then we would have spent at least an hour reading the Bible, with a special emphasis on Leviticus 21:17-23.
Naturally, the child would not have been wearing any kind of Batman outfit, and instead of the Batmobile, we would have gotten into my Faithmobile RV and journeyed to where the REAL criminals are, that being Sacramento.
Once there, the young cripple would have carried picket signs with me in front of the state's capital building. I figure the signs would have either contained anti-taxation messages or graphic images of aborted fetuses.
There would have been no phony cheering crowds, and at the end of the day, that little crip's only reward would have been knowing he had used his special day to serve the Lord!

and repents for his sins?
