Joker

“I must say the Christian part of me was having a fit throughout the movie,

due to extremely graphic violence, stabbing, shooting, blood, everything you can imagine.”

From a positive “Joker” review at ChristianAnswers.net

you say, as if of two natures,

“… the Christian part of me …”

as though one part of you

is God’s

and another part of you

is not

(but you’d be wrong

there is no Christian part of you

there is only just all of you

whether all Christian or all not)

and, being of two natures, are able

to enjoy good as you condemn evil

in what must be seen as either one

to own such dispassionate doubleness

to say on one side “I am God’s”

and on the other “I am not God’s”

as though the God’s part had no care

on what the not God’s part enjoyed

I had not known that this could be

I had not known there could be both a Christian part

and an un-Christian part to the same soul

had always believed, and still do believe

being a Christian is either all or nothing

of who a person is

but of a Christian’s maturity

your doubleness speaks silent volumes
