If someone is shouting, spitting in your face and gesturing wildly, I would expect one to become defensive. But there is a point when yelling back is not going to make the attacker listen.
Brother Jeb, Jed, whoever he is, decided to visit campus Monday.
In all fairness, Brother Whatever-His-Name-Was had a valid point. Yes, we are all born sinners in the eyes of the Christian religion. He had the Bible verses memorized to a T, his heart was in the right place, but the words he was using were doing more harm than good.
One student threw sticks at him. Another stood up and waved his arms back, shouting that sex before marriage was not a sin. A group of students ran by in hot dog costumes.
I felt like I was at the circus, watching the ringleader attempt to tame a bunch of lions. Amid all the chaos, what offended me most was that the true Biblical message of Christianity had been drug through the mud, beaten and hung up to dry. He never explained what the truth was. He never gave the gospel of Christianity. He only appeared as an angry bigot.
f one were to actually read Biblical scripture, they would find that the messages contained inside are focused primarily on love, faith and hope. Specifically in the first Corinthians chapter 13.
Maybe he keeps coming back because he gets a reaction. Maybe he feels this is his eternal mission (Paul always called himself a slave of Christ…) Either way, he’s not helping anyone. He needs to go back to Kansas or wherever he’s from and take a nice long nap.
