Apostasy Watch!
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 2 comments link this postMy first clue that something was amiss was the use of frames in the web site design, making it nigh unto impossible to link to any article I might even find useful or interesting (such as one that questioned the Christian "foundation" of our nation, brought to you here, frames free.)
The second clue was the over-enlarged, out of proportion, stretched graphic of a man in a megaphone. That's just wrong, and clearly so.
I introduce to you: Apostasy Watch!
There's a heck of a lot of exclamation points over there. I mean... over there!! And oh yes, if you haven't had your daily dose of sand in your coffee yet...CRN!!
I think I'll categorize this meaningless post with all those grating Slice posts just because that's now become my category for such things, things that kill faith and sour the face.
I admit to reading the blog posts at the CRN antidote, yet rarely commenting. My comments, when I do take the time, tend to be less theological and more like the one on this post:

And yet again, I have no idea what Chris P. is trying to say. I pretty much choked right about here:
"The Lord never asked for opinion, although the postmodernists love to dispense it."
Or from this post:

"Don’t any of you have something to do that is actually useful?"
Why is it that the people who always leave this type of comment are usually the ones commenting on every post in an ankle-biting fashion, and leaving the longest comments when it’s all said and done?

"...just shows the lack of discernment among the Amen Corner here to which Chris P., Mike and I have become accustomed from you self-appointed watchdawgs of the watchdawggies here..."
There are a lot of Amen Corners on the web. They tend to shout at each other from corner to corner to see who can "amen" the loudest. The point of this is to accomplish nothing except say "amen" really, really loud.

"She is probably just raising money to build Rob Bell’s yoga parlors and Rick Warren’s coffee houses..."
But do they serve coffee AT the yoga parlors? Because that'd be a problem for me.
Seriously, now, I cannot fathom why it is OK to shell out $300 for one conference and not a mere $55 for another, why a huge church for one pastor is wrong and not another. That is screaming of inconsistency. How anyone can be fine with that is just...unfathomable.
I admit to paying about $55 for a Bob Dylan concert ticket. Was that wrong? Should I have held out for $300 Madonna tickets? I want to make sure I get the most truth for my buck…

Why be deep and meaningful when you can just be meaningful, instead?
Q. Why do you waste your time throwing chum?
A. Because the sharks fascinate me.

Julie. I love you.
I mean that in the most critical and orthodox of ways, of course.

Amen!
(Just kidding... I feel your frustration. My wife and I both find your observations quite humorous (the 'sand in your coffee' line just about resulted in my morning caffiene splattered over my monitor).
Hope all is going well up there in North Dakota (it's finally seeming like spring here in Indiana, but I'm guessing you don't want to hear that).
Blessings,
Chris
