DAISED AND CONFUSED

from Midwest Conservative Journal by The Editor

The Rev. Daisy Machado, academic dean and professor of church history at Big Bob’s Sports Bar, Grill, Bait Shop, Liquor Store, All-Night Laundromat, 24-Hour Wedding Chapel and Union Theological Seminary, brilliantly sums up the entire human spiritual impulse:

The bottom line is that religion is about human well-being.

Well, yes and no, D. Faith without works is dead and all that. But I’m afraid that you’re leaving out quite a bit

If all religion is about is alleviating human suffering, than no religious person should set foot inside a church, synagogue or mosque ever again. If I”m God and I see a bunch of my people performing ceremonies when they could be out feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, I”m going to be more than a little miffed at them.

At the end of the day, we Christians do the good works we do because of the infinitely great work that was done for us on the Cross. Why else would Christians of the past and today give up easy lives and go all over the world in order to exalt the God Who saved them?

True religion is about a whole lot more than mere social work. Mad props to DFisch.
