I got the idea for this sign of mine pictured above by combining
two different signs seen in front of two different Baptist churches.
Clairmont Hills Baptist Church, located just around the corner from where I live, has irritated the fuck out of me for years displaying this one quote over and over again; apparently a favorite of theirs.
I had been raised by the public school system of Prescott, Arkansas, population four thousand, to take pride in the fact that the United States of America considered itself a plural society; despite being a predominately Christian nation. That it was America being a plural society we credit for it's exceptionalism; not the "real" American Sarah Palin and the likes of her want to believe instead.
So...
when I came across this picture of a sign from a different Baptist Church someone had uploaded to the Internet, couldn't help but wonder just what kind of Christians were the target of this sermon.
Would these Christians be the cafeteria Christians?
Can a Christian be dangerous and still be a Christian that counts toward "a nation being blessed who's God is the Lord?"
Although I'm okay being labeled a Methodist as that actually tells you something about my upbringing...
absolutely refuse being labeled a Christian.
Christian...
such a meaningless, useless word.
Although a driver's license will not stop someone from becoming a reckless driver...
sure would be nice one having to pass a test before becoming a reckless Christian.
