An FB friend of mine with a religious bent posted this last week. Ordinarily I ignore syrupy religious postings on Facebook, and I don't argue with my friends who like to put them there--I have few enough friends as it is. But this one really struck a chord in me. Yes, I thought to myself--
WHAT IF WE REALLY DID TREAT THE BIBLE LIKE IT WAS A CELLPHONE?
WHAT IF WE REALLY DID TREAT THE BIBLE LIKE IT WAS A CELLPHONE?
We could:
Delete anything on it we didn't think was useful anymore.
Filter out the weird bits by identifying them as "spam."
Ignore any messages we got from it that we just didn't feel like dealing with.
Hundreds of different Bibles--hundreds of different cell phones! Pick the one you like the best!
Anytime it wasn't working for us, we could just say "Couldn't get a signal"" and not be responsible for anything we might have missed.
Using Siri is like praying--helps maybe half the time, on a good day, and it works much better if you ask for something that has a good chance of happening anyway.
But most importantly, WE COULD TRADE IT IN EVERY COUPLE YEARS FOR A NEWER BOOK!
