The Bracelet of a Barbarian.
This post is brought to you in part by your local chain Christian bookseller and the letters "D," "J," and "W" (but not in that order).
On pomomusings.com , Adam Walker Cleaveland did it. He brought it up . The WWJD bracelet. Adam confesses of his subcutural tendencies stating that he wore (4) WWJD? bracelets at one time. He asked for comments about one’s previous use of the not-so-glamorous Christina fashion (that’s funny) trend. I responded as follows:

umm.
wow.
i had one.
it was blue.
navy.
i wore my one.org bracelet more.
and i had a shirt.
a cut off that i wore under my jersey for every high school soccer game.
what would jesus do?
compete in quasi-barbaric yet entertaining competition.
inflict intentional pain on others.
boast of a supposed athletic talent.
attack the integrity of a black and white striped human.
yeah.
that’s what jesus would do.

Of course Erwin McManus would argue for The Barbarian Way . Was Jesus a Barbarian?
I wonder if Jesus ever bought from a Parable Christian Store a bracelet that read, "WWCD?" (What would Caesar do?). Too frequently we ask that question.











Maybe Jesus wasn’t a Barbarian like John the Baptist. Just because they followed the same God with great passion does not mean they took the same path. As with today, I think it’s possible to be a barbarian and be effective, or not be one and also be effective. Just my opinion.
Not a wwcd bracelet…but didn’t Jesus ask that question at least once that we’re aware of?
