Bumper Sticker
I saw an interesting bumper sticker today. It said "My God is too big to be placed inside one religion". I really can't remember if it used the word 'my' or not. I liked the sticker, although my first reaction after thinking I liked it was, "is it wrong for me to like that sticker?" Why did I have that reaction? Am I conditioned? Is that a good/bad cautionary way to think? That's my food for thought today.

g-mama,
How you read it is how you read it, eh? What's important, I think, is how hearing yourself say that phrase makes you feel. What if MY God really is too big to fit into one religion? What might that mean if that feels true? If it feels true, is it just because it makes things easier for me and others? I find myself panning through those questions when I see that sticker. My "other" reaction is, "Easy way around a difficult question, dude." I like thinking about this because I'm not sure God "likes" the idea of "religion". I'll have to check it's definition, but, I'll for sure say that what Christianity has done for the world's impression of religion (I'm thinking of the Crusades and the "who's in who's out" game) is truly embarrassing. More later.
