Don't blame God for the sins of America

About Me

"The congregation was much impressed with the miracle story and saluted the missionary couple with a shower of amens and praise gods. Then, as the husband commenced to speak in tongues and wail the name of Jesus just as they did that day in Africa, the wife pulled back a black velvet cloth off a big easel standing up on stage, revealing a five-foot rendering of Jesus' face that she herself had painted when she was "slain in the Spirit." She'd given Him these pretty blue eyes, and as the crowd fell in shouting that name along with the couple, alls I could think about was how in creation could she have got Jesus' eyes so wrong. It was the most wrong-eyed Jesus I'd ever seen. I wondered how they could be so blind as to not notice those ridiculous eyes and so I started hollering along with them, only adding the words "wrong-eyed" in front of Jesus."

- Excerpt from "The mysterious tale of how I shouted wrong-eyed Jesus!" by Jim White.
