Wisdom of the Cherokees, part II

As I continue to read news stories about this Christmas season and commercialism and "holiday" vs Christmas and churches closing their doors on Christmas Day because it happens to fall on the Sabbath, I am amazed that the Lord does not simply end it all right now. If he did, however, I would have to think that He would be most displeased with those of us who claim to "love" Him but just, darn it all, cannot quite come to say that we "love" our neighbor. After all, they are "offending" us, aren't they??

The old Cherokee had it right. The wolf that wins will be the wolf that gets fed.

We know we are "right" and they are "wrong". Can we help it if they're stooopid??? Bless their hearts, they just can't help themselves. Why, if it were not for us, they wouldn't have enough sense to come in out of the rain. They should thank their lucky stars we're here!!

What rot. It is small wonder that non-Christians want nothing to do with Christianity. What is it that we are showing them that we would even want ourselves? "Get saved, damnit!!" "You idiot!" "You moron!" "You evil, narrow-minded, bigot!" "You racist!" "You homo!" "You heretic!" "You blasphemer!"

Exchanging ideas and perspectives is one thing. It is quite another to dismiss the person with the unusual idea as less than "of sacred worth".

I think I may start visiting some porno sights and blogs. At least I'll know what I'm stepping into.
