Whatever she had up her sleeve was good, because she smiled and her spirit filled the whole room during and after her prayer. As we walked to our destination, Sarah was singing to herself, and seemed to be mentally removed from the present, looking as pretty as ever in her red cap, and her red and white t-shirt with a white skirt that went past her knees with red socks and white tennis shoes, laced with red and white strips. She said she wanted to remind everyone of Christ white Rob of Righteousness and his Holy Blood of Redemption. It was a clear warm summer evening; children were playing jumping rope on the side walk. Sarah jumped in with a little girl for a round. Then we continued on our journey. One group went towards the North, one group went towards the South, one group went towards the East and the other group went towards the West of town. We stopped a few blocks down from the pawn shop, and beside the pawn shop was a liquor store, a gas station, a fast food place was a one

    The conflict between the Christians and the Jesus Seminar has been an ongoing struggle since 1985. The Jesus Seminar, founded by Robert Funk, originated in 1985 as around 70 biblical scholars set out to determine the legitimacy of Jesus’ sayings (Dart). The Seminar focused on the historicity of Jesus using the best methods of science and literary criticism as it pertains to the Bible.

The Jesus Seminar’s goal is to rid the historical figure of Jesus from “Christian legend and myth” and to find out who Jesus really was and what he really said (Craig).…

Besides that, my logic takes over and I question too many things.…

    The Boondocks has always been one of my favorite cartoons on television; a new episode was released called “A Huey Freeman Christmas”.

The administration, who insists that Jesus should not be black; was protested by Huey. Eventually, they grant him permission to do so; he then titles the play “The Adventures of Black Jesus”. This episode influenced me to think and do research, which in turn caused my love for Christmas to fade and trigger many other responses.…
