Such a tragedy, such a waste of lives given by God.

Whenever we think we are God's chosen as a nation, let us remember behavior like this and ask ourselves do we really believe that.

Brilliant reference, brother. Even the Body of Christ needs to shop and find the bargains, but at the overhyped, uber-commercialism of a day as sacred as this?! No thanks!

Peace,

You are right that would make the ultimate statement.

Man, if there was any way Christians could make a statement to the culture, it would be by living responsibly, humbly and frugally.

I'm with you, Shane.

Unfortunately, we are too often just as materialistic and consumerist as our pagan neighbors.

I like your tack on the depravity of man. Lots of people try to deny it and assert that we are essentially good, but I would simply direct them to the headlines on any given day.
