Simple Lies

Here's a ridiculous article on a ridiculous idea: bringing God into the 21st century by pretty much forgetting Who God Is.

I miss the good old days when people were more discerning in terms of the heresies they adopted. There once was a time when people wouldn't listen to just anyone. False prophets had to cast their message in terms of some authority (and claim that they had the true message of Jesus Christ or the real content of the Bible, for instance) because the masses would not listen to just any old gobledy-goop.

Now, all a false prophet has to do is say "God is in all" or "the End is near" or utter some such stupid slogan and his books fly off the shelves. I bet Arius is spinning in his grave. At least his heresies had a degree of thought put into them.

Well, let's all have a hand for public schooling and the current state of American education, which has made it that much easier to dupe well-meaning people.
