God is clearly trying to teach me something new (for me) about himself. Maybe we can learn together.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137008679319158397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700298098866072045.post-69432051939237343162010-10-21T19:24:12.713-04:002010-10-21T19:24:12.713-04:00creatures*creatures*Jessynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700298098866072045.post-69546624811143625062010-10-21T19:23:34.104-04:002010-10-21T19:23:34.104-04:00I think God has a sense of humor.

On a more serious note though, I can see your point and that is actually one of the things I am still trying to figure out. I don't think I know God well enough yet to know whether or not he would laugh at an episode of Glee. I don't think I quite fully understand what it means that God is holy.Jessynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700298098866072045.post-63122752745422973762010-10-20T12:17:11.187-04:002010-10-20T12:17:11.187-04:00One more thing on this topic: I think the questio...One more thing on this topic: I think the question is not whether I was offended, but rather was GOD offended. I know He doesn't need me to stick up for Him--He is who He is, no matter what Glee says about Him. Still, though, the idea that HE IS HOLY keeps coming to my mind. I'm still working through what exactly that means, but my gut says that a holy God would not smile and laugh at that episode of Glee.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137008679319158397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700298098866072045.post-9394554013942008662010-10-18T09:18:58.729-04:002010-10-18T09:18:58.729-04:00hmmm. kristie LOVES that show. i tried it once, la...hmmm. kristie LOVES that show. i tried it once, last season, and i was not really enthralled. i usually don't like musicals, so i attributed it to that.<br /><br />good to listen to the Holy Spirit when he says 'no', eh? i hope i can do that with 'real housewives' when it comes around again. and someday, i may have to give up hgtv because of all the shrines to buddha that appear to be worshipped.bobbione8yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401427365798820490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700298098866072045.post-52575415706638481802010-10-17T20:04:58.178-04:002010-10-17T20:04:58.178-04:00Jessy,
You could never make me mad! I was hoping ...Jessy,<br />You could never make me mad! I was hoping for some dialogue on this post. I'm not sure I agree with you that they weren't mocking Christians, but that's okay. I have watched more Glee than I should (given that I am clearly convicted about it), and I have enjoyed the over-the-top portrayals of being a teenager, as well as the witty writing. I'm pretty sure that will be my last episode, though.<br />Thank you so much for commenting, Jessy! I think you're cool. :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401958443571750692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700298098866072045.post-24192466869640886812010-10-17T14:25:13.249-04:002010-10-17T14:25:13.249-04:00I am not sure how much of Glee you’ve seen, but I ...I am not sure how much of Glee you’ve seen, but I think it is important to remember that everything about this show is over the top. I’m pretty sure every minority represented in this should be offended. That being said, I think this episode was about spirituality and religion and not necessarily supposed to represent Christianity or be offensive. While the grilled cheesus thing is over the top, there are people (not necessarily Christians) who pray to status of the virgin Mary that bleeds tears and I think I have seen a man that claimed to have seen Jesus on a piece of toast. So, the idea isn’t that far fetched. I thought the church that the African American girl went to was not portrayed offensively. I do agree with you that Christianity seems to be the only religion that it is ok to mock these days, and that bothers me too. However, I don’t think the episode was intending to mock Christianity or those who follow it. I hope my post doesn’t make you mad. I love your blog and just thought I would voice my opinion.Jessynoreply@blogger.com
