Halloween’s approaching!
Jesus warned:
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
How have things changed? Those Jesus was talking to thought they were doing good. Can we hear the warning?
What you see in this graphic cartoon is the version of Christianity that believes we have been commissioned to go into all the world and make everybody just like us. Like zombies, it is a mindless and inhumane affair, obsessed with consuming everyone in its path.
(NOTE: I’m toying with the idea of doing a whole graphic novel around this theme.)

My name is David Hayward, and I am the nakedpastor. I am a graffiti artist on the walls of religion.
I’m fascinated by this brand of Christianity. Jesus wanted followers who thought for themselves, who lived outside the boundaries of the day. Yet I see more and more mindless conformity.
Someone recently wanted to have an alter call during a funeral and i stated that this wouldn’t happen. first it’s not our tradition and second, it would be hitting people in their lowest state, akin to a kick in the stomach while they’re down. That’s not Jesus. Jesus offers them comfort and a hand up during these times. Our goal is service, not conversion.

LOL Nice deflection! Well, not really. Actually it is pretty obvious. But I guess it was the best you could come up with.
You are hilarious!
—-i’ll let your own words deal with your accusation of deflection.

That being said, unless and until something rational comes out of your posts, I think I’m done with you. You can call me a coward and say I “ran away” or whatever your malicious, childish mind wants to make up to make yourself feel better, but I prefer to actually have adult conversations with rational people who can articulate their opinions based in reasonable, rational thought
=========Apparently, since you are still addressing me, I must be “adult” in my conversation and displaying rational thought. Lest wise, according you your OWN WORDS, you would have been “done with” me. Deflection, I think not–however, it is obvious you speak “double-talk.”
Keith, you can’t help yourself. I know, I understand. It is in your bigoted and bully nature to threaten but no follow through. Hey Keith, you so adult, how does it feel to be brought down to my level???? You just had to say more. Hehehe!
Luke, I see you are United church of Christ. I am Church of Christ “Christian.” We are polar opposites I suspect in most things, but on the funeral thing, we agree. I will steal how you explain it; you do it much better than me.
Hey fishon!
Yeah, I always chuckle when people confuse our denominations. Glad to see we could see eye-to-eye though! Peace to you!
