Has Jesus sold out?

Chris,

Another well written article!  Did you learn to write from the Profs at James Madison University?  Anyway, as a Christian it does not surprise me how many ways people try to cash in in “religion”. Even the atheiest do that LOL! Anyway, let’s not forget that the minature Budda statues with incense holder holes was around well befor the plastic Jesus dashboard mounted statues my grandmother had in her 66 Pontiac.  Remember Jesus was turning over tables in the outer courts where the peddlars hawked sacrificial doves, oils and a host of other items to “please God”.  Even back then they did’t get it that being “religious” by following the strict law was not the way to get to heaven.  Keep up the fine writing!  Peace!
