Once again, politics, religion and entertainment have joined together to agree upon a message to massage the masses:
- No personal responsibility.
- No challenge.
- No questioning.
- No evolution.
- No real difference between evil and good.
The difficulty with this particular popular lie (thus POPULIE) is that when they seek a poster boy to represent their cause, they are shocked to discover that Jesus was actually a great proponent of hell. Now, maybe “proponent” isn’t the correct word, but since he was a common sense teacher, he realized there’s no yin without a yang, no heads without a tails, no day without a night–and no heaven without a hell.
The reason this “hell-free” populie is catching on so quickly is that it removes guilt, covers everything with some sort of universal blanket of grace, and makes everybody feel good about themselves.
The difficulty is that most of the time we are not attending pep rallies which encourage us in self-esteem, but rather, lying in the dark on our beds, trying to go to sleep and realizing who we really are, face-to-face.
Let me give you some simple points:
A. Effort without consequences eventually eliminates reward. Reward is a consequence.
B. Pursuit without a second mile leads to easily falling short of the first mile marker.
C. Salvation without responsibility generates lazy, self-righteous, yet unfulfilled disciples.
D. Entertainment glorifying the darker side of humanity discourages anyone from trying to be “the light of the world.”
E. Politics without progress fosters a ruling class of self-satisfied statesmen.
F. Parenting minus correction is the care-taking of animals which could have become human.
F. Romance without surprise is the doldrums of predictability.
And finally, heaven without hell is just a common bus stop for all travelers…instead of a new world for true explorers.
