Saving us from ourselves on Bourbon Street
Aside from the bars, music and expected craziness on Bourbon Street, there are often those trying to save us from ourselves. Some are quiet, and want to talk calmly to you about your transgressions and win you over with the peace of Christ.
Some are there to hold prayer sessions in the middle of the street, volubly praying for them what knows no better.
But for sheer entertainment value my favorites by far are the out-and-out loons.
Let’s see who’s going to hell on the aptly named “Krazy Korner:”
(BTW, I do so love that the one guy took the time to alphabetize his list. Apparently OCDers are safe from the fires of hell.)
It really is an interesting list…
Some are straight forward- idolaters, abortionists, adulterers, and the blanket label “fornicators”- these are all to be expected on the express lane to hell.
But others…not so obvious. Sports nuts? Did some football widow come up with that one? And they REALLY don’t like Catholics- they make it onto both banners while agnostics, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses only make it once each. Pill poppers? What, any pills or just specific ones?
Why is it that I think they feel anyone not in their group to be a ‘luke warm Christian?’
But the one that gave me pause was “revelers.” Does God have something against revelry in general? I don’t remember that one. Plus it seems we’re getting on shaky ground here…after all, they were having a damn good time doing this out in the middle of a party zone. Couldn’t they, in their sad little way, be considered to be reveling?
Just a thought.
