today in moderately psychopathic baptist billboards
I realize church billboards don't offer a lot of space for text, which inevitably leads to ambiguity (somewhat like Twitter, actually), but today's was particularly aggrieving:
"Feb. is the month of love.
Do you love Jesus
Or your spouse?"
I don't know how comfortable I am with the word "or" in that sentence. I'd like to think that's one of those situations that can be a both/and rather than an either/or, but they said "or" so I'm going to have to assume that they mean it. Which brings me to my broader point:
If you call yourself a Christian and you love God to the exclusion of everyone else, you've missed the point of pretty much everything Jesus had to say.
