John the
Baptist was not cool, I mean locusts and honey and a hair-shirt? That’s never
going to catch on. – and yet, he did draw the crowds.
“He who has
two tunics let him share with him who has none.” Well that’s kinda cool, but
how about Jesus: “…from one who takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic.”
That is rad man. Cool? Well I don’t know about that.
Was Judas
cool? Maybe. – but betraying your master with a kiss after he has poured his
life into you for three years and finished by washing your feet? That has to be
the height of uncool!
And then
there is Jesus saying, “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you shall
not have life within you.” Not cool!
And yet
Christians have been doing just that for more than 2000 years.
All rather
puzzling: Perhaps the field of “Coolology” lies virgin and open for conquest by
aspirant theologians.
