Whacky Stuff

A FB friend of mine posted a link to this.
[I]t is rather silly for people to focus simply on the red letters (a recent American invention). Of course, what is equally silly is this notion that everyone seems to know exactly what Marxism really is, and the fear that so many people have of it. Further, what surpasses silliness is the notion that ‘red-letter’ Christians with their focus on the social aspects of the Gospel cannot be Christians.

Of all the things for a conservative Christian to get upset about, a red-letter Bible?

Now the whole "liberals aren't Christians" thing isn't exactly new; I've heard it before. While I applaud the writer of the post for pointing out the variety of reasons why this is wrong, my guess is it will fall on deaf ears. These folks, assured in themselves of their own salvation, convicted of their own righteousness, have no need to listen to heathens, heretics, and false teachers.

This latest iteration, though - the preference for red-letter Bibles is a sign of false faith - is just about the silliest thing I have ever heard. I had always thought conservatives were the ones who loved their red-letter Bibles!

Anyway, whacky stuff from the Church of Crazy, to be sure.
