Francis Chartrand for Rivière-des-Mille-Îles

Why is it that Christian would be tantamount to stupidity? Already, Jesus wanted s'abreuve the sources of living water (water that is readily accessible) rather than dig (search, dig) land in search of new waters. Poor!

This game around the word "source" may go further. It takes a page from an evangelical site at random. What does this mean? Mediocrity. Scripture sloppy, always the same quotes out of context, always the same tone enough, and especially to the same sources. These sites build and support them, since nothing else supports their words.

You are, for example, before a colleague who breaks you ears arguments with its post-modern anti-scientific thing. "But who said it, exactly?" That is the question. And the answer may be "this or that evangelical Christian apologist", or "Saint machin", as appropriate. No surprise here.

After all, Christians follow Christ, ie they follow his message. Et le Christ ne veut pas qu'on se donne la peine de réfléchir. And Christ is not one gives himself the trouble of thinking.

In addition to the parable of the deep water and deep water, you can enjoy looking in the New Testament all occurrences of "knowledge", "thinking", "reflection", etc. Armed with a match, the work is done in 10 seconds. The conclusion is striking: these terms are still used in the same context, ie to talk about the knowledge of God, sometimes in opposition to the (unsuccessful) knowledge of things on earth.

Which brings us back to our original question: Does "Christian" should amount to "stupidity"? It would seem that yes. The True Christian (tm) is the one who is ignorant and blindly follows. Jesus compares the sheep, fish, the child. Jesus said that, not me.
