Social Perspectives vs. Christian Response
Some conversations I’ve had with a couple people during the past two days - that and a class session today - have left me wondering: how should Christians react when the media portrays them in a bad light?
Prominent Christian leaders have been known to go on the defensive or lash out at the press and their critics in fear, and this hasn’t impressed too many people in the past. I certainly wasn’t around for this, but I’m sure some of you will remember the general Christian response when Jesus Christ, Superstar came out in theatres.
A friend of mine is of the opinion that if Christians continue to claim that they don’t care about these spoofs and parodies and shrug them off, believers will end up being pushed out of public forums altogether.
Again, I ask: what should the correct Christian response be when the media portrays us in a bad light? Do Christians take their critics too seriously? Not seriously enough?
