Slick Slogans by Steve Higginbotham May 5, 2007 | ||

During World War II, armed Nazi SS
guards herded thousands of Jews into box cars, and amazingly, they went
cooperatively, putting up no resistance. Many of the friends and
neighbors looked on with wonder as to why this was taking place, but they
told themselves that things would be fine. They told themselves that
they were in good hands. How could they believe that? Well,
because neatly printed in French on the door of every boxcar was the
reassuring logo, "Charitable Transport Company."
Come to think of it, we too can be deceived
and lulled into apathy by the slick advertising and slogans of the
world. It may be time we open our eyes to some of the things that
have been pawned off on our society under such slick slogans as...
reproductive freedom, alternative lifestyles, separation of church and
state, no-fault divorce, social drinking, and a host of other
matters.
Friends, you can call a skunk a kitty-cat if
you want, but you'll soon find out it's still a skunk. And you can
call sin by any other name, and you will also find out that it is still
sin. | ||
