Jesus is a Loan Shark For The Soul |
I've been amazed lately to see how many evangelicals are using the
analogy of money to explain their bizarre and warped doctrine of
christian salvation. Invariably it goes something like this. Every
time you sin, you run up a big bar tab. Eventually, you will have to
pay that bar tab. But most people don't have a big enough bank account
to pay off the bill and heaven doesn't take American Express. Anyway,
unless you want to spend eternity washing dishes in Hell's Kitchen then
you gotta do business with the son of the barkeep, Jesus "bloody palms"
Christos. This guy Jesus is a strange supernatural loan shark for the
soul whose vig is a life time of obedience and the enslavement of your
immortal soul. If you do that then he alleges that he'll "make things
right" with his old man after you've snuffed it. But if you cross him
(hehe) foget about...he'll get more sado-masochistic on your ***** than
Mel Gibson...
Has anyone else encountered these rather bizarre money references
and other "hol(e)y economics analogies" used to explain morally bankrupt
christian dogmas like salvation?

"It is fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the
threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, 'mad cow'
disease, and many others, but I think a case can be
made that faith is one of the world's great evils,
comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to
eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins
