Second Place?

[Neo-skeptic]

Just when I thought things couldn't get any crazier, along comes this weird-ass website. Guess I had it wrong all along; apparently we should aspire to become slaves.

 

Actually, this is exactly what they taught us in youth group at church. Same shit, new shiny package. Hell, even the package isn't that revolutionary. It's an extremely scary thought to see people taking to this stuff willingly. Hope this laughable campaign dies a quick death...

 

And now, for the website:

Yet another time when I read something and feel like the only sane person in the room.

Hey, at least these people are second. A friend of mine used to go to a summer camp as a kid where they'd tell him that he's third. http://www.sb2w.org/index.cfm?p=73

I used to go to a camp like that! It was called Kanakuk. The highest award you could get at the end of your term there was the "I'm Third" Award. It's based off of a passage in Matthew that says "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments"

 

The idea was put jesus first, others second, and yourself third. Not a bad idea, as far as xtians go.....now if only they'd actually pay attention to the whole "love your neighbor" bit.. =/
