Osama bin Laden is in All of Us

This is a strange blog for me to write because I am sharing my immediate feelings about something I am experiencing right now. I know that good bloggers shouldn’t immediately put their feelings online but for some reason I feel I must do this tonight.
I guess this is a bit therapeutic for me to do as my heart is heavy and perhaps by writing my feelings down I will receive some form of healing. Then again maybe I won’t? In fact maybe I will get into trouble for being so honest with those of you who choose to read this blog. Either way I hope you don’t mind what I write.
UnChristian: Who Do I Emulate?
Monday, April 18th, 2011
I have been doing some thinking about the book UnChristian in which non – Christians had the opportunity to share their views of Evangelical Christians. Not surprisingly they are not too impressed by us. In fact the huge majority of them see us in a very negative light. Specifically, they see us a being homo – phobic, pro – war, insensitive and extremely judgmental.
When I read these accusations towards us I could not help but think of what would happen if we were able to go back in time and do a similar research project on people’s views of Jesus. What would the “sinners” in Jesus’ day say about him? I think that they would be very positive about Jesus after all they were always hanging around him (see Luke 15: 1 - 2).
