I had an interesting experience this morning on the bus. There were two individuals who were discussing theology. It quickly became apparent that neither of them had a clue about Christianity (which is what they were discussing).
For instance, the woman in the conversation mentioned that “Christ” was not Jesus’ last name (this much is true). However, she said it was Greek for “Lamb.” Which I thought was ironic, considering that Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew “Messiah” which means “annointed one.” The guy, not to be outdone, responded with: “I don’t believe Jesus exists.” Later, he said, “Jesus never claimed to be God, it was something His followers made up after He died” (which begs the question, how do you make up something about someone after they don’t exist to die in the first place?)
Oh, the wonders of modern theology.
