I recieved this cartoon in an email from a wonderful parishioner this morning. There were several others attached but this one gave me quite a lot of thoughts.
- Do Christians really want to be the lions? It seems that the past 3 weeks in the lectionary absolutely state that because we are Christians we are not to become “the lions.”
- What about liberal Christians? Or are liberals exempted from being Christian?
- How sad is it that we have become so polarized in this country that the angry Christians in the cartoon actually resemble much of the anger (and hate?) I saw in the folks at the GOP convention? How are we to come together when this kind of rhetoric continues to get expoused?
- Lastly, liberal media? Fewer and fewer every year it seems.
I’ve actually been having nightmares about politicians and this ugly “war” for the presidency. I’m just not stomaching the election process this year. Whoever made the comment about being “Americans” rather than dems vs. rep. had a good thought, but unfortunately it was way too shallow, all that person meant was Republicans are US Americans and the rest of us aren’t. That kind of thinking is getting us no where.
