Why Multicultural is Good.

My Career Assessment says I should be a Flatulist. I’ll keep my day job.

“The reason I don’t buy “trickle-down social ethics” (besides that fact
that it clearly hasn’t worked in the past) is because “trickle-down
social ethics” was conceived within the consumerist church model. In
this model the church produces a product that it markets to the people.
This product has good intentions, it is after all “the gospel”.
However, it is often neutered or watered down in order that it may be
consumed by more people at a faster rate. People then show up at the
appointed time and consume the product for their own personal benefit
and continue on with their own enriched lives. The idea is that the
product is so good that it will cause the people to share the product
with other individuals, who buy into the system and then share it with
others and it goes on. This product is so good that it will change
society. (The real “product” is that good, but no one lets it out of
its cage).” (read more…)

Here’s a Checklist for Reading through the Bible (no plan, just a list of all the chapters).

“I would even go so far as to suggest that our moral decadence is partly
responsible for the wrath we’ve incurred from Muslim extremists.
Without in any way condoning their violence, one of the main reasons
they see America as “the great Satan” is because of how we’re
influencing the rest of the world with our debauchery. It’s undeniable
that wherever American influence is evidenced, sexual morals loosen.
They disdain our “freedom” because to them it’s inseparably wrapped up
with freedom to have sex outside of marriage. When they hear George
Bush announce that we’re going to expand “freedom” around the globe,
what many hear is Satan announcing he’s going to spread debauchery
around the globe.” –Greg Boyd
