You know they don’t want to hear that!
A church in Virginia has decided to remove a plaque honoring George Washington–who helped found it–because… get this… its presence makes idiots and jidrools “feel unsafe and uncomfortable.”
Yeahbut, yeahbut! George Washington owned slaves! A hundred and fifty years ago. Damn this stinkin’ country! It had slaves in it! Naturally we feel threatened when we hear the name of Washington! Oh, if only we had communism! Blah-blah-blah.
I venture to say George Washington on his worst day was worth more than all the nitwits at that church put together on their best.
“I venture to say George Washington on his worst day was worth more than all the nitwits at that church put together on their best.”
Amen!
I know longer use the noun Christian because it has become meaningless. I say I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Even Taylor Swift says she is a Christian.
We don’t have to believe her, though.
Sad, but true. A few years back, a friend of mine started seeing a young lady who was a “worship leader”. They talked about getting married, but she insisted that if they married, he would still allow her to see other men, at will, including sex vacations to Mexico. Apparently Acts 15 doesn’t apply to her.
I’m guessing the prospective groom changed his mind.
He most certainly did.
Washington inherited his slaves and aquired the rest through marriage. He put in his will that all his slaves were to be freed after his wife’s death. People today impose their 21st century ideals on 18th century people and expect some sort of unrealistic moral perfection. But I would bet that if they were alive during that time, they would have had slaves too.
Their ‘about us’ page says: “An inclusive and diverse congregation that offers Christ’s welcome to all, regardless of age, race, or sexual orientation.” They tells you everything you need to know. I’m also willing to bet they don’t teach much about sin either.
Ah, “welcoming and affirming”!
Jesus Christ has left the building.
