I see. Well, that makes me feel much better about this site in general -- I was worried that you were actually saying that this was something worth doing, and that the emphasis added was because you thought it was the most important part, not the most ridiculous. Which would be a sharp departure from what I have read here in the past. I guess I should have read the previous post about the glurge business ;) Oh… I see.

I receive a bunch of these every now and then which is why I categorise them as "glurge" - sappy manipulative stories which associate christianity with the most awful and simplistic message imaginable. So feel free to voice your criticisms. Greg, that is kind of the point.

Not because it says I love Jesus, but because it is unneccessarily dramatic and cheesey. Plus it has a bad use of "..." and reeks of inauthentic-chain-letter Christianity that has more to do with saying the right thing than being the right way. I'm not accusing you of anything, just saying that I would definetly be ashamed to post this on my blog or send it to my friends but that has nothing to do with how much I love Jesus.

I only wish I had a blog to post it on. I think you missed some of the 'beautiful' analogies though. Maybe you are saving them up for a rainy day. Or maybe Phil bagsed them to use in his masters.
