Seems as though some not so fun fundamentalist Christians are going all out against retail stores who replace 'Merry Christmas' with 'Happy Holidays'. I'm not one for all the stupid hubub of political correctedness, but man we like to be nit picky about silly things.
Well apparently there are some pastors out there who are turning to scientology to help solve some of their problems. Is it just me or are some lines being blurred here..... here's a line from the article....
"Kennedy knew that before he could introduce any Scientology-related text to his congregation, he would have to prove that it did not contradict his Christian beliefs. And so, he found Scripture to match each of the 21 principles."
Because it's just more authentic that way.....Looks like a new TNIV audio version of the Bible is coming at you with the following:
The Old Testament version features the voices of over 400 distinguished African-American actors, musicians, personalities and clergy, including 2007 Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker (Moses), Angela Bassett (Esther), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jonah), Denzel and Pauletta Washington (Song of Songs), LL Cool J (Samson), among others.
That's all find and dandy, (I'd buy it just for the Song of Songs.... :D), but what's with the TNIV translating father with parent?
Someone actually made a study stating the obvious, ok, that's not new, but take a read at this.
Seems as though more and more non-Christians are worried Christianity no long looks like Jesus and aren't convinced Christians do a good job representing the real Jesus. WHAT? YOU NEEDED A STUDY FOR THIS?!
Let me get this straight, Christian fundamentalists, or whatever you want to call yourselves, are first to point out the faults in other people but can't be bothered to recycle pop cans? What bums.
I'm not about to go 'righteous' about we have to recycle all our waste, but please, take a bit of responsibility to the vast amount of garbage you needlessly throw away. It's good stewardship and in the least you get 5cents per can.
