File Under "Taken in Vain"
A stray moment finds me on YouTube. Across the top I see "Imitation of Christ Feature."
Wow! Cool! Thomas à Kempis classic work, eh?
Ah, no. A fashon show with goth models walking over bones ("road-kill looking") and texting on their phones. And crosses in the background.
Not to, um, stifle anyone's creativity, but "Distortion of Christ" is a little more appropriate.
The designer: "...might be the mood of what's happening in the world, what's happening politically ... and a little bit of hope."
In a free country, anyone can abuse Christ's name. Sad, but I won't riot or threaten anyone with death. (If we Christians are anything, it's predictable.)
