So I was thinking this morning...
I was sitting in my car at the top of mt Eden and there was this little old chinese lady with one of those awesome sun hats walking round giving out fallun dafa pamphlets and the old newspaper they hand out...
she came to my car window 2wice just to make sure that I was sure that I didn't want one... and then once again when I was wandering aimlessly around the mountain...
I said to myself how does this persistant lady think that she has the right to approach me and then attempt to force her beliefs dowm my throat unaware that I hold and value my own beliefs...
i felt revenge dwelling inside of me as I pictured me forcing a physical bible down her throat... (probablly a pocket sized cos any bigger would be nasty)!
But then i thought we live in this post-modern world where everyone thinks that they are right and as much as we get frustrated when other people attempt to inflict their beliefs on us we are reasonably open to everyone believing their truth. All truth becoming relative to each person...
Which I think seems openly fair and reasonably settling... it provides us with an everyone wins situation! But no no no my truth is THE TRUTH isnt is???
Living in this tension... ooooooooooooooo!

This is a real stumbling block for faith, isn't it? Jesus said 'I am the way, the truth and the life' How much does that exclude everyone else? Or is it an invitation?
