Arggh, can't resist blogging about this:
The Nation cites the question "What Would Jesus Do?" to justify a Wal-Mart protest!WWJD? Protest Wal-Mart! I have not read the article, since I cannot open .mhtml files on my office computer. I'll read it tonight and comment further if I feel the need to say any more.
It suddenly hit me what I don't like about this WWJD question being applied to issues like shopping and the car one drives. It's just another form of legalism. Good Christians are supposed to do this, avoid doing that. It's just more rules to follow, and all without asking God what He wants us to do. Just open your latest issue of The Nation, Mother Jones, or The Utne Reader, and they will all gladly tell us what Jesus would do if He were living here and now. And, get this, they do this while ridiculing people who actually read the Bible and endeavor to live by its wisdom!
