This week’s scripture: Good advice from J-boy that the Xians ignore
26 October 2003 by Ron It’s Sunday, so it’s time for a new bible verse. Today, rather than giving you one of the endless stream of absurdities, cruelties, and horrors of the goot book, I’ll share a favorite of a different sort: Clear and decent advice from J-boy which is blantantly rejected by the Xian theocrats of our day in their attempts to insert prayer into the school day, government proceedings, football games, and every other public venue they can:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men… But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret… (Matthew 6: 5-6)
