I found this on the GetReligion.org website... the story it's attached to isn't even the issue. The drawing is funny & sad & all-too-true... all at the same time.
What's your favorite pair? (If you're like me, you're not going to post that publicly.)
If we claim that we're free of sin, we're only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won't let us down; he'll be true to himself. He'll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we've never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.

The real trouble is when we start triangulating:
ReplyDeleteCEG = George Bush
AEF = anti-American terrorists
ABC = corporate CEOs
ABD = runaway consumerism
("A" shows up a whole lot, doesn't it? Fancy that...)
