“The Way You See It” - Your Starbucks Quote

As most of y’all know, on the side of every Starbucks cup is a section called “The Way I See It.” It is simply a random quote by some random person.

Simple right? Well, the catch for The Way I See It is simple as well: thousands upon thousands of people read these quotes daily.

Thus:
If you could put any quote on a Starbucks cup, what would you put? And why?

Live Like Christ

I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
-Mahatma Ghandi

Why is that?
Why did Ghandi, a man who virtually accepted all religions as ways to heaven, say such a thing?

Let’s consider a few things.

Many people who claim to be ‘Christians’ curse, have sex out side of mairrage, get drunk on a regular basis, and simply don’t act like Christians! We are the salt and light of the world (Matt. 5:13-16) - why don’t we act like it?

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12:2

God tells us, through Paul, not to “conform to the patterns of this world.” We are not to ‘do as they do.’ We are to stand firm in the faith (1 Cor. 16:13) and be different (Matt. 5:13-16). Let’s be different than the world. Let’s truly strive to live like Christ.

I urge you, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, do not do as the world does. Be different, stand out, and show others what it truly means to live a life filled with Christ.

Bill O’Riley vs Richard Dawkins

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tRsnm45OVY]

Bill O’Riley and Richard Dawkins go head to head.
I think O’Riley makes some good points, but where Dawkins has O’Riley is his uncertainty. O’Riley is ’sticking with Judeo-Christian philosophy’ but doesn’t quite own it completely.

The Dawkins Delusion


I think this video just about sums it up - Richard Dawkins does not exist.

Iraqi Determination and Education

“I’m going to bomb, bomb, bomb the school with everybody in it.”
-Five Year Old Omar Hussein at his kindergarten graduation in Baghdad
[thx World Mag]

Ok, is it just me, or is that incredible?
Incredible in two ways:
1: Incredible that a five year old wants to blow others, and himself, up?
2: That Muslim parents can give a five year old the drive to do such a thing and us American’s can’t get our kids to do their homework?

Now, let me put aside the shocking desire of the five year old, let’s take a look at his determination.

Here we have a kid, who is five years old and graduating from kindergarten, and he wants to kill himself in an explosive manner - just so he can kill infidels. If a five year old can obtain that level of determination, why can’t us Christians have that same drive, but to follow our Lord?

Think about it.
