Coexist or Contradict?

March 28, 2017 Leave a Comment

Version 2

While stopped at a red light on my way home one day I noticed that the two cars immediately in front of me had the same “Coexist” bumper sticker. You’ve probably seen one like it. Each of the letters of is a symbol representing a major religious or spiritual ideology. For example, the “C” is a crescent moon symbolizing Islam, and the “X” is a Star of David symbolizing Judaism.

This was a particularly long traffic light, which gave me time to realize that I was mistaken. In actuality the bumper sticker on the car just ahead of me did not read “Coexist” but “Contradict.” Underneath that it read, “They can’t all be true-John 14:6.” Despite my early days of earnest scripture memorization I couldn’t recall this particular passage, but I had a hunch it was the verse in which Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” I was right.

Please head on over to Feminism and Religion to read the rest of this post.

    Amen, Katey. That rings with truth, as always so transparent and vulnerable. A man told me once that my vulnerability (in a sermon) let truth shine through. Your unique combination of openness and lack of shame do so and prompt honesty in others. IMHO Love you, Judy

    Thanks so much, Judy. These times we are in having me reflecting on my own stereotypes and biases more than ever before. I consider it a blessing, though a painful one at times. Much love.
