Christians and Culture

I posted a link to an article yesterday about Christinas and chulture by Jonathan Dodson.

Later in the afternoon, I went to Starbucks and was studying when a girl came in that I knew from Pompano High School.  She is catholic.  She taught confirmation classes and even recently was a teacher to one of the "baristas" at that particular starbucks.  When I asked her about it, she told me that she has been teaching Sunday School at her church for several years.  Then she goes on and on about how she doesn't believe in organized religion and that Jesus, Yahweh, and Allah are the same.  Most of what she said comes a desire to be (or sound) enlightened.  It was funny at how all of these arguments were following the same path as many teenagers I have dealt with in the past who wanted to run their own lives and their rebellion was often against the oppressive regimes of religion (which in some things I found myself agreeing).

I do think it is good for Christians to think critically about culture. I also think that Christians should work hard at earning the right to ask culture to think critically about Christians. At least give them right reasons not to like you.
