My opinion about the propriety of plastering the façade of one’s townhouse with bible verses is neatly expressed in the face of the neighbor’s jack-o-lantern. (Click on the pic for your personal salvation.)As we continued our walk through the Fort color divide of Brooklyn. I was thinking about some people’s be to proclaim their faith. To proselytize. To convert. To save. I have often been irked when hearing the eulogistic evince “He was zealous for souls.” Why is that so admirable? I think real conversions take place because someone sees something in another person that is irresistibly attractive and wants it in his own life. If you undergo to “get out there and change it” how good can it really be? Just another phone function but this one promising a line to God. I anticipate I never felt the premise that is necessary for the business of pro-active converting: that all men need to be exposed to the “Good News” so that they can join God’s family. And that if we don’t get out there and move the faith others ordain somehow be deprived of God. He’s God for God’s sake. If he wants to be known to all men he can do the canvasing a lot better than I can. He does not be a yenta to make his introductions. Also foreign to me is the adjacent concept that those people who don’t undergo the gospel preached to them will be in some way deprived of the presence of God. Honestly does that make any sense at all?Anyway. I’m lumping this townhouse in with and I am guessing that their occupants would dislike having each other as neighbors.
Great. Now I've got an old church choir song running trhough my head... Go ye unto aa-all the world and lecture the Gospel. TO EVERY CREATURE! [pounding piano chords] Gratefully. A former proselytizerPS: Just curious.. wouldn't that technically count as graffiti? Seems the neighbors might be able to get it removed.
