At The Border

A Meeting Place for Those Who Aren’t Afraid of the Border

We live in a “your way right away” culture. Question: to what extent does this cultural attitude affect our relationship to God? To what extent do we choose to view God through the lens of our wants and desires rather than through the lens of his Word?

And–think about this–to what extent, and through what process, are we able to overcome our culture-bound perspective?

With all this in mind, here is a clip from a movie I walked out of at the theatre. Nevertheless, I think this scene satirically skewers consumer-religion in a pretty powerful way.

NOTICE: This clip contains two mild swear words. You will, and should, find the attitudes displayed offensive. But the question to ask is: to what extent does this overblown portrayal hit the nail on the head when it comes to American consumer-religion.
