'MythBusters': Christianity Edition
Eric Hogue
Have you ever watched TLC's program called "MythBusters"?
It's an interesting show that features a group of men and women who set out to disprove, or prove, a accepted societal belief. It makes for great TV, and for great thought. How much do we believe to be true, is nothing more than a myth?
While watching Myth Busters via TiVo this weekend (I love technology), I stumbled upon a simple thought; As Christians, how many "myths" do we hold as "truths" in Graceland?
For many who have been raised inside of the church, we have adopted certain beliefs that are simply not true - just myths.
In order to delete some of these myths, I offer the first thread in what could be a series of "Myth Busters for Graceland".
God doesn't hate me, He actually likes me.
No more formulas for the Christian life, just a real relationship with Jesus.
Knowing the Bible is not knowing Jesus' love and grace personally.
We shouldn't despise people who call themselves 'spiritual', they are hearing the voice of an unknown Father.
Prayer is a easy constant, not just a set aside segment of time.
If you are to preach to people, you need to die to the need to preach to people.
We are to be like Jesus, not religion.

I agree with other comments here--this article is not clear at all. Many of the comments the writer claims are myths (I think that's what he's saying) seem like legitimate statements to me, but I can't be sure where he stands because the writer doesn't elaborate at all on why he believes these are myths to be discounted.

I understood this was going to be like MythBusters, where a satement or belief was presented, and then through whatever means was either busted or proven correct. The only thing I got from this article was confused.
This should of, in no way, been compared with MythBusters. I understood the premise of the show and the results were clear, but this just appeared to be a running group of random statements.

This was an article with a lot of promise that fell flat. There is no closure. There is little by way of explanation. It's like the author was on deadline and had a half-baked idea that he couldn't follow through on. Amazingly disappointing.
