From The Philosophical Pastor blog.
Today, “religious people” are not hard to find. In the United States, we have religious, irreligious, and post-religious people. But who among them are actually being shaped from the inside out by their religion? Moreover, who among them, having taken shape, are imitable personalities?
A person who is, in reality and truth, being shaped by a vibrant relationship with God in such a way that anyone “out there” would be impressed and desirous of the same is a rare find today. The solution for many has been to put a bumper-sticker on the car that assures everyone behind them that they enjoy forgiveness for their lazy attitude about sacred living.
