And because I hate having peripheral stuff like hair getting confused with Christianity, I was going to cut it.

Then I sat down and thought logically about it – if it means that people come up to me and ask me a Christian, why not? – not only do I have the opportunity to point out that hair is irrelevant to Christianity, but I have an opportunity to point out that Jesus *is*. And *I* am not confusing the two, nor am I doing anything that should encourage anyone to do so. (In some cases, it’s like saying Christians should stop drinking coffee because that could encourage non-Christians to confuse Christianity and coffee – I’ve actually heard people suggest total caffeine abstinence for that very reason!)

The problem comes, however, when Christians confuse two almost totally unrelated things. The way that the owner of that car has juxtapositioned those signs certainly would indicate that he thinks that loving Jesus and loving his brand of politics are one and the same thing. He (or she) certainly seems to *hope* that people confuse Jesus and George Bush/John McCain.

So, I suppose there’s a balance between doing peripheral things without shame – I’m certainly not ashamed that I wear long hair or that every Christian I know drinks coffee – and doing them in such a way that non-Christians are giving encouragement to confuse two non-related things.

And thanks SmartLX, always love having you around I will respond to your last comment btw, and that’s a promise!

I disagree. Those the father has called will come. I don’t think human stupidity will thwart His plans for the elect.

Though, I agree that some of those stickers are absolutely ridiculous and offensive.
