A. Unabashed Pacifist:
We don’t need propaganda to convince us that peace is what we need.
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
When the roll is called up yonder???
When the saints go marchin’ in???
You know those images no longer work for many of us, as I imagine they would not have worked for Jesus. He said “Whenever two or three are gathered in God’s name,” we’re already there, Heaven on Earth. We’re already in that number.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“I wear this rabbit’s foot around my neck to ward off evil spirits.”
[One of the many sayings you won’t find in the texts.]
D. Blog: Word of the Week – “fidimplicitary”
Meaning: having faith in someone else’s views.
Originally applied as criticism of academics who put implicit trust in the work of earlier scholars, I think it fits a lot of the general population who rely on others to determine what they think or believe. Some who come to mind are those who get news from Fox and information/opinions from Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. I can think of others... They’re all pretty much fidimplicitary.
