Re: Fwd: Would You Run?

By Ryan, May 4, 2007

I could go on forever about things I hate about e-mails. (Guess what, CalTech! I’m still not interested in you! So stop e-mailing me!) I despise college mail, as I informed the general public in the post Nobody Cares. I fervidly loathe chainletters that tell you that you have to forward this to 37 girls before midnight and make a wish about your favorite college mascot. I detest those annoying messages with more than one “Fwd:” or “Re:” in the subject. I also happen to hate forwarded e-mails where you have to open fortyleven attached e-mails. And I passionately spit upon forwarded e-mails where the whole thing is in a PowerPoint or something that loads in the time it takes to take a nap*.

But one forwarded e-mail with an ungodly large-sized PowerPoint show caught my attention. The PowerPoint said this:

One Sunday morning during a service, a 2,000 member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black and carrying submachine guns. One of the men proclaimed, “Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ, remain where you are.” Immediately, the choir fled, the deacons fled, and most of the congregation fled. Out of the 2,000 there only remained 20.
The man who had spoken took off his hood. He then looked at the preacher and said, “Okay, Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites... now you may begin your service. Have a nice day!” Then the two men walked out.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about this, but I have to add on or else I look like a blogger who doesn’t have any material. And I’m already a comedian with no material.

It’s easy to wear a shirt that supports my favorite Christian radio station. But how many of us, when our faith is truly tested, will actually step up to the plate and do what we know is right? Would you run with the deacons and the congregation, or would you keep your seat?

Honestly, I would run.

Yes, the title of this post is a joke.

No, Kristin, nothing happened in the world of basketball last night. Nothing at all.
