Chrisitian-Correctness...always more forceful than Poltical Correctness

And before someone points out how under siege straight white Christians are (while their religious doctrine is being put into law all over this country) think about the following and tell me it’s not true. This country will elect a woman, an African America, a Muslim and maybe even a gay person to be President before it EVER elects an Athiest.

The irony of all of this is Griffin was pointing out (in her special way) the very Unchristian way that people ostentatiously thank Jesus for their Emmy, Grammy, Touchdown or Homerun.

As I’m sure you are well aware, the Bible is pretty clear on this ostentatious display of religion/faith:

Matthew 6:1-16

Concerning Almsgiving

6‘Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 ‘So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. 3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.*

Concerning Prayer

5 ‘And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. 6But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.*

Concerning Fasting

16 ‘And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.*
