I just read an article in the L.A. Times about a new publication for teen girls called Revolve. Take one look at the cover, and you’ll notice something isn’t quite right. Missing are the usual headlines about hot guys and sexy Spring fashions. Instead, you’ll find articles with titles like, “Are You Dating A Godly Guy?” and “Radical Faith – what scripture really means.”
Yes, folks, it’s a bible–the complete New Testament–disguised, oh so cleverly, as something a depraved teenager might read. The belief here is that kids today don’t read the Bible because it’s “too big and freaky looking.” So rather than let the girls make their own decisions about philosophy and religion, they slather the scripture with pink frosting and shove it down their throats.
I know I’m going to lose a lot of you with this entry, but this kind of stuff really pisses me off. Here’s a sample from an article titled “Top Ten Random Ways To Have Fun On A Date:”
5. Double date with your parents.
9. Taking cookies to a nursing home.
Give me a break. And I used to think Davey and Goliath was bad. Camouflaged Christianity sucks.
