Some Standard Definitions From the Doublespeak Dictionary

Let’s play a game! It’s called, “Find the Bigotry and Intolerance”. Ready? Go!

We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We operate as a family business … our restaurants are typically led by families – some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that. We intend to stay the course. We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”

- Dan Cathy, COO of Chic-fil-A [source]

And:

I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about.”

- Dan Cathy, COO of Chic-fil-A [source]

Hmmm. I couldn’t find either, unless, of course, we designate anyone who disagrees with the LGBT movement a “bigot” and anything they say “intolerant”.

This artist commends Dan Cathy for his support of traditional marriage and family and for not being ashamed to make wonderful, positive statements in their defense. Little did he know that his comments would test the limits of free speech in New Amerika! But the subsequent reaction also made it obvious who the term “intolerant bigot” may be more apt to describe, don’t you think?

Qwerky Quotes for the Inquisitive: G.K. Chesterton

…the obstinate reminder continues to recur: only the supernaturalist has taken a sane view of Nature. The essence of all pantheism, evolutionism and modern cosmic religion is really in this proposition: that Nature is our mother. Unfortunately, if you regard Nature as a mother, you discover that she is a stepmother. The main point of Christianity was this: that Nature is not our mother: Nature is our sister. We can be proud of her beauty, since we have the same father; but she has no authority over us; we have to admire, but not to imitate.”

-”Orthodoxy”, chapter 7 by G.K. Chesterton

The “Heaven Bound” Hypocrite’s Highway Hello

click on image to enlarge

Aside from Jesus, there are no genuine heroes in the Bible. Each man and woman has their character flaw and it’s there in black and white for generations to take note of. Jacob was a cheat and deceived his own dad. Moses killed an Egyptian. Saul (the king) was eaten up with jealousy. David couldn’t discipline his children or curb his lust. Solomon was a little too ready to marry just about any woman. You can read all about it. That the Bible would record these things for posterity, I think, points to its inspiration. People typically try to make themselves saints on paper.

Nowadays, hypocrisy affects a lot of us. And that’s probably one reason why Jesus spoke a lot about it. In fact, it could be said that, generally speaking, the bulk of biblical narratives are accurate, faithful records about hypocritical behavior of hypocrites. But I say what better way to show us the reality of mankind than to focus it on that embarrassingly true element of each and every one of us — myself included!

But the point is not to try to downplay hypocrisy and make society accept it. Neither should we be easy on ourselves. No. We should pray for grace and strength to get rid of those bad habits, whatever they might be, so that they won’t distract from the Message. After all, if we’re going to point to Jesus, the Son of God, then let’s use our index finger, not our middle one.
