The Mocking Bird Blog has a great thought provoking article on the Carrie Prejean controversy. Here is the opening to the article:
The following quote appeared Wednesday on a tabloid website:
"Exclusive: Self-proclaimed bible thumper Miss California, Carrie Prejean, should start pointing the finger at herself for her own indiscretions. [We have] received exclusive images of the homophobic debutante that would clearly strip her of her Miss California crown. So much for being a good role model for the state of California Carrie. Looks like your photo shoot makes you a sinner too."
I am not bringing this up because I'm interested in commenting on Miss California per se (I think the media has that covered!). I bring it up because this snippet brilliantly highlights a common misconception in our society today: that Christianity is somehow about being good enough to be a Christian, when it’s actually about understanding that we're bad enough to really need Christ.
