What do you wear on your sleeve?

A few quotes have jumped around in my brain like a crackhead in a rubber room. I have heard worthless  words of religion constructed and displaced into everything around us. They continually explode in my brain and echo more reasons why Christianity is mediocre. Christianity is replicating mediocrity and indecisiveness. Maybe a better phrase is, Christianity is gettin Ho’d out!

Ho’d out in the sense that Christians only take the parts of the Bible they like and quickly move on. Ho’d out in the sense a young man or woman hangs out with another man or woman who they “just like to have fun with.” You know the Sex and the City mandate; “friends with all the benefits”. You get all the fun with minimal responsibilities. You have tons of friends with zero depth. You have a belief in the Bible because you think it gets you into heaven, but don’t know what it says. Am I getting warm yet?

This morning I read the entire chapter of Psalm 119. It – is – a – beast! But worth getting your mind, will and emotions entrenched every bit of its meaning. This particular Psalm is masterful and full of everything about everything, it even includes the word hate.

Before I record which verse it was, I think it would be a good idea to reintroduce yourself to something you hate. You may hate flying American or United airlines. You may hate red light cameras which are instinctively set on timers to collect more funds from you. Maybe you hate humidity or people who hate humidity. I have heard of plenty of people who hate traffic, politics, churches, preachers, priests, old people, young people, white people, black people, asian drivers, healthcare, school, voting, war, yellow school buses, welfare, drug dealers, communism or barney the purple dinosaur.

I would love to hear your thoughts concerning your response to people who ask you about church or God? What do you say to them? I would like to include a quote from President Obama initiating some of this thinking. How does church, God or the Bible affect your decision making?

This includes you who do not attend church or God as well. What do you say when someone asks you about your faith? How do you respond to others concerning Islam, Agnostic viewpoints, Buddhism or Hinduism. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and record your thoughts and beliefs.

UPDATE: Obama spokesperson responds to survey: “President Obama is a committed Christian, and his faith is an important part of his daily life. . . The President’s strong Christian faith is what guides him through these challenges but he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve.”

NOTE: This is not a site designed to be a battle ground. We have enough wars in the world and enough places where you can fight with someone. I ask for you to be civil with each other and treat another as if they are “created in the image and likeness of God”. Thank you and God bless.
