Today the Revelife team, bless their souls, had an entry about blasphemy and humor. Which I found fitting, as a repairman came around the orphanage today to fix the internet.
He said to me, that like Christ, our connection would be coming back, but unlike Christ, it'd be in the next couple of days.
I am ashamed to admit that I chuckled for a moment, before realizing the utter blasphemy of the statement. The sheer presumption. For all I know the Rapture is tomorrow. And what being a good Christian means is being
ready for the possibility of the Rapture at any moment, on any day, with the strength of our Lord strong within us.
It is times like these I do wish I was a better Christian man, in that I would not find the humor in the blasphemy. I am understanding of the unbeliever's lack of sanctity, but I did not wish to commit an act of collusion with his heresy. God can forgive him, not I, for I am just a man, not the Lord.

well... for all i know, Rapture might be even today.
and, don't want to sound odd (although i am a total misfit anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of anymore)... the joke actually sounded funny.
IMHO, God's got a great sense of humor (i see the demonstration of it every morning when i get up and look at myself in the mirror
)

i find no blasphemony whatsoever to be slightly humorous. I am so offended by any form of attack on our religion.
I think one needs to be secure in what it is you think is blasphemy. My understanding of it is, attributing to the devil the works of the Holy Spirit.
I'm glad for your sensitivity.
We're just gonna have to pray for open eyes and redemption as widespread as it can possibly go, huh?
