Christwire.org: Conservative Values for an Unsaved World

I was just introduced to this website via an article about Glee. At first I was like, "omg this is real!" and then I read some more and I wasn't so sure... and then I read comments and I was less sure. Anyway, I do think that it is satire, and in any event, the articles on the website are likely to make you cry and laugh equally....

Be Entertained!

It is funny because it is true....

Interpretation de Confounded Christian

The other day I was doing a little bit of that Bible reading and such, and I chose to read the Gospel of John. I chose this because I am in a class on liberation theology, and I tend to enjoy the hippie version of the Jesus story, i.e. John. I read the first few chapters, and it has kind of been a while since I have read the Bible for personal revelation (instead of for class, or church, etc.). There was personal revelation, but at the same time, even in the loosely written John, I found myself going verse by verse, "I agree with that... I don't agree with that... I think there was a contradiction there... or wtf." So I wondered, what would happen if I took the Bible and made a list of what I agree with, and what I do not agree with. I wondered what the ratio would be... Just taking the Word and my experience, and seeing what makes sense to me, and what doesn't.

Yesterday, I was talking with my friend, and we decided that we would be happy even if just a fraction of a percent of what we think about God was true, we would be happy. For example, if a fraction of what I believe love to be, God also is, there will be joy to be had over this.

Usurping Man's Authority

I don't know if you know this, but I am kind of a big deal. Yeah, I got cred. When I finish my program, I essentially have the potential to be a full time minister, and I got more cred than most probably have. I told my sister, "I am highly flauntable."

However, where I come from, there is no point in a woman studying God. You can't really talk about it, you can't preach it, you can't teach it... oh wait, yeah you can--but only to other women, your husband, and very small [unbaptized] children. Things are changing a little bit now, there are some churches desperate to incorporate women, and it is nearly impossible to find a woman from the same tradition that is seeking to be a minister (cause we're not allowed!).

This is why I am highly flauntable. I am a woman with an awesome education and a desire to serve in a time where women are being sought out specifically. See you on the ministry frontier.
