Good Morning, God,
The headlines spoke about the right way to argue about religion. They came with those little word bubbles saying things like, "God must love stupid," "Who are you even talking to, you stupid moron?" and "Your beliefs are evil."
The story is about "Holy Trollers," folks who follow a particular blog online and comment, one after another, about religion. The article speaks of those who can come across as "The Streetcorner Prophet," "The Provoker," "The Atheist," "The Scholar,""The Peacemaker."
The Streetcorner Prophet predicts gloom and gloom and going to hell. The Provoker loves to preach about the stupidity of religion. The Atheist says there is no such thing as you, God. The Scholar has the biblical proofs for everything biblical, including all the symbolism in your book of Revelation. The Peacemaker is content to not argue any points even when the points disagree with the Peacemaker's view.
Lord God, you knew that this is the way faith would be, yet you left the book open for it. Perhaps we need all five of these characters to make faith real and our minds. But, Lord, we ought to echo the words of Scripture: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." May it be so.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
