McDonalds! KFC! Subway! BK! Burger fuel!

Wouldn’t it be great if we could merge all our favourite food stores into one and call it food court. Oh wait we already do that. Or merge all our favourite clothes stores: Jayjays, surf stores, Helensteins, Glassons, farmers, warehouse and cal it a mall. Oh wait us already do that! So why not do it for the churches I propose something like this:


And what about our schools shall we join the private schools and state schools together have them in the same building too? or GP’s and hospitals shall we put them all in the same building and join the hospitals into one? Well how far do we want to go? If we are going to take this man seriously we should consider other areas of our society they could benefit from pooling their money together and being in one building.
 The name of my blog fits so nicely as a response to Martin Van Beynen's article. He gets a merit for his madness. He proposes that churches (Christians) not rebuild their facilities but pool all their money together and build an all-in-one building they share. If you read this article you can soon see he is just stirring people up, starting with insulting churches and then moving on to what he proposes they should do. We'll just put all the religious things we like in one building and walk into each like a mall store.  So God is just to be another consumer product?

the way poeple think

This blogg is set up for a communcition paper at Carey Baptist College. Yes, we are a bunch of christans. We are meant to write a blog and effectivily communcate about a different topic in the news every two weeks. As much as it is about how we communcate i can see it is als about what we communcate. (This is not a negative reflection on my classmates just an observation on how people think). To be honest I feel a little uncomfortable reading some classmates post as they seem to focus on the actions of this man (see post below). I dont remember or have a experienced a Jesus who saw people for who they had been. I know and  have expeirced the Jesus who saw people for who they could be through him.
I can see we have been given this topic in the news, told tocommunicate about it and without thought, thought our opinions, perceptions and judgments on this topic were the ones to share. Well, this makes us no better then the common media. Some how, there needs to be a change. I dont know how but I need to view theses topics as a person who is part of a group that has a relationship with Jesus and has God's spirit who can help us see it how God does.
