Ok, so we watched a movie in Bible called "Lord save us from the followers", I agreed with pretty much everything the movie talked about. The movie is about the clash between faith and culture. It was a documentary with a guy named Dan Merchant walking around America in a suit that was white and had a bunch of Jesus symbols, bumperstickers, and other stickers representing Jesus. He called it the Bumpersticker Man suit. He did this to start conversations basically so he could interview people who were part of religion, culture, gay clubs, homeless people, politicians and people off the street. He asked them of their opinion on faith and of evolution, and got some surprising answers. Like, there was this gameshow type thing that was like family feud, except it was scientists vs. philosophers, and the scientists (who were non-Christian) won. The questions were about culture and faith, like 'what christian movie seems to have caused the most controversy?' and 'what is the most interesting aspect of Christianity/evolution?'. I thought it was very interesting how the non-Christians seemed to know more about our God than the "Christians" did. Also, Dan seemed to care about people more than most Christians would. Most "Christians" would judge the people they were talking to, or tell them that they were going to hell for their ways. But this true Christian, he set up a confession booth in the middle of a Gay Pride event and apologized for the way the "Christians" and the church were acting. I thought that was really helpful and I think that if there were more true Christians, then they would be doing something similar. SO, to all of you "Christians" out there who are evangelising the wrong way, you are helping no one. You need to show love and compassion to anyone you witness to, no matter what they've done in their life.
And sorry, Mr. Mendenhall, for posting this a little late.
