I want to ask a simple question to those of the Christian Faith, and in particular, those who would consider themselves Evangelicals or Fundamentals. Can a Christian, in good conscience, display this bumper sticker?
Thanks for the Novella...it's not quite a novel. :-)
So, you know I think I agree with you completely on this. As you may have noted, the post is entitled Christian Liberty. So with my agreement with your statement, my feelings of late is to emphasize your 7th and 8th paragraphs. It pretty much sums up my feelings. I would have no problems with someone displaying this bumper sticker next to "the Fish" but I know some would have a problem with it and others, and this is more concerning, might get the implication that there are other paths to God. Consequently, I like the bumper sticker from the perspective of going into the world and living among those who have other faiths, as we are called to do. And to do effectively carry out the command of Jesus to His disciples, this requires a level of coexistence. However, I would never display it as it may cause many to get the wrong impression.

Whoops! I just noticed your 'about me' says that you're a Christian. My bad! : )
