I hear a lot in religious...and other....circles that we live in a world that is too 'gray' or that there are too few absolutes. i'm going to propose that the opposite is true...let me explain
moses was on campus today. he is a crazy, judgemental, annoying, un-christlike figure. However, as i was listening to him, he started talking about how you have to love your enemies (he talked about Bush and himself as some of those you have to love--he's harder i think ;) and he talked for about 5 minutes and i agreed with pretty much everything he said! amazing, i thought...but then he said "i think catholics are going to hell" and i don't agree with that at all!
my dilema here is that if i were to say something disagreeing with Moses, the people listening to him would automatically assume that i disagree with everything he says. which isn't true...but if i jump in and say that i agree with him on any point, i might get mobbed, i dunno.
my point is that we are too quick to assume that there are only 2 sides to any argument or issue...when i really don't think that is ever the case. I want people to know that I love my Lord because he made me and saved me, which is what Moses alludes to sometimes, but I want people to know that I am altogether different from him in other ways...how do i do that? how do WE do that??
Moses is giving Christianity a bad reputation on this campus, i want to show people that being a Christian is so much more
