Maybe there is a reason for that. You see, earlier this week some friends of mine got into a discussion regarding books of the Bible.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>They are married, Christian, and very intelligent people. But alas, they started cutting apart the Bible like they were their own individual Magisteriums. Or better yet, like they were from the <em>New York Times Book Review <\/em>or something. You know, what they liked they fawned over. And what they didn\u2019t? \u201cGet thee behind me\u2026\u201d Here\u2019s an excerpt of the conversation,<\/p>\n<p><em>Her: \u201cI\u2019m not looking forward to this week at work. Sigh. But like Friedrich Nietzsche said,\u2019Whatever doesn\u2019t kill me, makes me stronger.'\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Me: \u201cHe said that, but in his case, what didn\u2019t kill him just made him an ass\u2014-. I prefer this from St. Paul instead: \u2018Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses.'\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Awkwardly quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Her: \u201cI\u2019m not a big fan of \u2018St.\u2019 Paul. His attitude toward women generally sucked. I like Jesus\u2019s teachings much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Me: \u201cGolly. You know, St. Paul wrote most of the New Testament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crickets chirping.<\/p>\n<p>Him: \u201cMother Teresa was a true saint, in my humble opinion. But I\u2019d venture to say that some of the Catholic Saints were probably child molesters.\u201d Grinning. \u201cI\u2019m a fan of Jesus, James, Amos, Isaiah, Mary, Mary Magdelene, Ruth, Ecclesiastes, and some of the other characters\/ books in the Bible. I\u2019m not a big fan of the \u201cgospel\u201d of John. And Revelation should never have been included in the New Testamant.<\/p>\n<p>Me: Quizzical look on my face, \u201cI\u2019m just a grasshopper, unfit to remove pebbles from open hands. But I am still trying to grasp them.\u201d Shaking my head while smiling.<\/p>\n<p>Um, if the Bible is the inspired word of God, then you have to take it all in. Whether you \u201clike\u201d everything or not. Conversations like this one make me glad I\u2019m a Catholic. Especially after a friend from Australia posted the words to the flash mob video, shot earlier this month, that I mentioned at the beginning of this post.
