Pet Peeve (and a disclaimer)

I love (read: hate) these “let’s see how many Christians there are…Click like if you’re not ashamed” or “let’s see how many of you aren’t ashamed of Christ and forward this email message”. Yeah…I’m sure the white throne of judgment will include a section on how many Jesus based Facebook groups did you join or how many emails did you forward in my name. Ugh. I love Jesus it’s just that I’d rather live it out than spell it out on Facebook or an unwelcome email to a non-believing friend. It’s not that I mind your stories/groups/picture groupings or emails. It’s just that coercive bit at the end basically saying that someone must not really be that into Jesus if they don’t do what you say is the kind of super religious hyperbole that’s caused a TON of  problems in the past.

Disclaimer: I’m sure the people who create those emails/groups and those that forward/join genuinely love Jesus.
