Wanna see something really funny? Especially for those of you who know me well?

Go here. Scroll about halfway down the site, look at the right hand column. You’ll see the title “Fundie Blogs.” Now look down that list.

There you go. Now before you fire off an angry email/comment at Eric the Preacher (the guy who runs the Evangelical Underground Blog) observe the post at the top of the page. He means it as a compliment. I think! haha.

I’m going to email a screen shot of it to all my wonderful friends who think Christian pastors who have an earring, listen to U2, Sting, and anything made in the ’80’s, play Halo, and are okay with tatoos (but would never get one because he is a pansy) are liberals.

It’s actually a pretty good discusion. I love much about the Post-Modern movement. The openness to spirituality, the deconstruction of long held traditions/beliefs, the stress on experience. Post-Modernity has rekindled my love for Jesus - in a good way.

Yet, Jesus’ claim to bring division and Paul’s assertion that He would be a stumbling block to the wise - has proven to be just as “universal” or cross-cultural as His redeeming act. There are points in Jesus’ story that trips up both the Modern and Po-Mo.

And it seems to be it is exactly at that point where He stands and waits.
