I was riding along in my car the other day listening to
a broadcast of a Christian Talk show the name escapes me. It seems that
the focus of the show was to bastardize everything and everyone who didn't fit
their definition of "Christian" including other Christians. As a
result my Sunday radio broadcast dealt with prejudice.
I think it is interesting how people pay lip service to
not being prejudice. Unfortunately, that does not hold true across the
board with all forms of prejudice. Most people hate to be discriminated
against but fill perfectly justified when they project their opinions and
prejudices onto others. It is as if our ego plays this game telling us
that it is alright. I have to chuckle because at one of my discussion
groups this man who was homeless talked about another man who was also homeless
but came over and asked me for some change. Both of them are homeless but
the one before me felt superior enough to point out that he was not
begging.
You see our ego plays this trick on us. It makes
us believe that we are all separate and that we must compare ourselves to
others. So somehow you are better or worst, right or wrong based on some arbitrary
form of assessment.
The Christian broadcast spoke out against the
homosexual community, against the evolution of family, and certain other
denominations. They have judged against various groups and found them
wanting. Imagine that! Does that not totally go against what
Christianity is all about? Some Christians get into the habit of
demonizing the rest of the world.
Maybe one day they will come to realize that it is
really them that are the wolves in sheep clothing. Maybe one day they will
see how they have castrated God and rendered him impotent by second guessing the
order of it all. Maybe one day they will discover the message of love that
was being shared, not tolerance but love. Maybe one day they will no
longer need to see separation but will declare the at-one-ment.
Just a thought!
