Frustration With Christian Language
Okay, so my pack of gum says it’s “Clinically” proven to blah, blah, blah. Now, if something is clinically proven, that means it’s been proven in a clinic, which means nothing at all. It also doesn’t suggest to what degree the product works, doesn’t explain whether it’s clinical test was an A+ or a D-. So, when I see the word “clinically” it basically tells me “hey, stupid, come buy this and we’ll make you feel better.”
Likewise, “medically documented miracle” is a Christian term that makes me want to tear my hair out. There is no giant file cabinet somewhere in Washington, D.C. filled all the “medically documented miracles” that have happened in America. It’s something pastors use because they think their audience won’t believe them otherwise.
This is just a rant, but still….
i hear ya. i hear ya.
