Do you remember the days when people stood on curbs holding signs that said that? And did that imply that, if you didn't honk, you didn't love Jesus?
We now have the world of social media where people are welcome to post on Facebook and other such sites what is going on with them at any moment of the day--as if we should all care if one's day is going well or badly... I succumbed to Facebook when I retired because my students begged me to create an account so they could keep track of me. But, as a member of that "society", I am now subject to posts from "friends" saying something like, "Jesus died for you. If you care, repost this. If you don't, just keep scrolling". Hello?? This is extortion, with the exception that it doesn't require a monetary donation. I refuse to be bullied! My faith--and my politics, by the way--are quite personal to me. I don't re-post anything, and I won't "forward" anything that I haven't already checked out on snopes.com or truthorfiction.com to determine the validity of whatever is being promoted. I respect the rights of others to do that, but I won't be a party to it, thankyouverymuch. I do make it a point to correct people who have forwarded nonsense. So sue me!
