EO posted a link to it, so it'll get enough press from that famous means. But for those who aren't checking EO out on a daily basis, I'll focus some attention on it here, a must-read reflection on one of the fundamental problems with modern Christianity.

I have nothing to add to it, it is so complete. Two millenia ago, we had a community of believers who were crucified upside-down to avoid being put in the same breath as Christ. We had a community willing to die for the gospel of peace. We have come to a community that uses His name in vain on coffee cups and novelty ties. What would Jesus do? Not license His name, methinks.
