Jeremy has an interesting post up about his Buddhist friend John’s response to a Christian festival.
John was helping Jeremy demonstrate Chinese Juggling Sticks at the event. Jeremy was curious about John’s reactions throughout the event. Here’s John’s first comment along with Jeremy’s thoughts
As soon as [John] showed up, the first thing he said was, “I didn’t realize this was only for Christians. Am I welcome here?” Ironically, this was an “evangelistic” event, but every single person I talked to was already attending a church somewhere, while John, the Buddhist, immediately felt unwelcome. I think it had something to do with all the Christian music blaring everywhere, the Christian symbols on every square inch, and everybody wearing Christian t-shirts.
John also commented on the music and that the bottled water cost $4. Check out Jeremy’s post to see the rest of John’s comments. Read the rest of this entry »
