I didn’t take the opportunity to watch this as I fell asleep!
Maggi and Gary from MOOT did watch it and make informed comments.
I particularly like the reference to CS Lewis’ ‘We don’t need to defend the lion’.
Me personally … well no surprises that I am exasperated that again we can object over something like this while the majority of the church remain silent over 30 000 people who die each day from poverty.
The Shiny Headed Prophet 
It has frustrated me too Rob. It frustrates me that Christians get offended at the things of this world when they should know that the world has strayed from God. Frustrating that instead of praying for the lost of this world in such a situation as this Springer Opera, Christians are threatening to take the BBC to court because ‘we’re British, and that sort of thing shouldn’t be allowed in Britain’. Why are these people not getting offended that we still live in a world that permits poverty, slavery and injustice, and instead getting down on their knees before God in repentance, and going on to take social action?Instead, Christianity gets offended because the whole world does not think and believe like it does, because the world is full of sin, because the world is as Jesus said it was.What’s going wrong with the picture?
LucyI have no idea what is going wrong with the picture. One guess, and it’s only a guess, is that maybe it is easier to complain and argue about things like Jerry Springer, Harry Potter, The Beckham nativity etc etc because all we have to do if we do that is write a letter, or simply just moan. WE British do like to moan. It’s quite easy to sit back and moan about something that has happened.To complain about something like 30 000 dying each day necessitates some form of action. You can’t moan and sit back as it is current. It demands an action and that means time and effort and sheer flipping hard work.I don’t know, but I am guessing it is easier to give money or moan rather than make a difference.What do you think?
