His demeanor was neither theological or philosophical, just from his point of view practical.


He sat in my study and simply stated he had wanted to say it to a preacher for a long time.


“Christianity doesn’t make good sense, this business of thinking of other people before yourself; giving away money instead of keeping it; sacrificing time and energy in some idiotic expression of benevolence; wearing out your heart and head over other people’s problems when you have enough of your own.


The only thing that makes sense is selfishness. Get all you can. Keep all you can. Let the other fellow get by as best he can. Create your own private little corporation dedicated to greed.”

It was a long winded expose’ of his thoughts and now he paused to see how I would respond.

 
My response did not cause him to perform a 180 degree turn around. I could tell however that he was listening.

“It always comes down to worship because the word actually means how much value we place on a person or thing. It may be God in heaven, or a NFL football team, but it always boils down to what has value and how much.”

He sat in silence. I continued, “Christianity is really only two things; it is either a challenge or a bribe. Take it as a bribe, you say “Alright, what can I get out of it? What’s in for me?” Approach it as a challenge and you say, “What can I give? What must I become? Wordsworth wrote “We live by admiration.”

Start by trying to admire God and one does not have to worry about spiritual inertia.”

A quote below from ONE A DAY blog entitled A LANGUAGE PROBLEM


I remember the first time I saw the word "adult language" preceding the showing of a film. Was it just that I would be hearing obscenity or was it a kind of permission time? Was it verbal pollution finally getting a stamp of approval in living color?
