A Thought

While responding to saskia139 I found myself writing this:

There are probably a lot of people calling themselves "Christians" whom Jesus would like to sue for defamation of character.

This makes me think of some lines by William Blake

"The vision of Christ that thou do'st see
Is my vision's greatest enemy...
Both read the Bible day and night
But thou read'st black where I read white."

I like that.

Now if we only knew exactly which ones....

Which is why I did not elaborate on who "they" are.

I have my own opinions, of course -- but part of the point is that I'm sure that whoever the defamers are, they are sure they are not "one of them." I'd like to think that I'm not. . . . but there are thousands, if not millions, of Christians who would strenuously insist otherwise.
