The Big theme for me this week, is over and over, the need to identify with those "outside". AND, I just discovered Peter Rollins. His name seems to bounce around the blogosphere a bit - but until now I'd never heard him speak or read any of his stuff. I think that's gonna change!
Enough from me - have a listen to this parable. How does it sit with you? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I think he will make an excellent atheist once he gets over his attributions to his invisible friend. Elevating his social conscience propels him to do the right thing for the wrong reasons and deflects his honest caring and compassion for others to be in the service of god rather than in the service of others. Why this point continues to elude so many otherwise intelligent people is a great mystery to me.
