Following my Sydney excursion I was off to work. A Polynesian woman saw me waiting for a bus, and came up to talk to me. She said she wanted me to know Jesus loved me. I thanked her, telling her I was an Evangelical Christian, and asking her about her church. She said she was a grandmother from Brisbane and she was visiting her grandchildren. Then she told me the world was ending in three and a half years. She asked if I knew of Daniel and prophecies and I said it was not something laid on my heart. She noticed I had Pokemon Go running on my phone, and she spoke of the evils of computer screens. I smiled pleasantly and she wandered off, wishing me well. For a person of faith, she does the work of the Devil. It is disappointing that some church leaders encourage such behaviour. But, part of the success of the Christian church is from hell fire sermons. July 8th, 1741 had one such sermon where the preacher spoke on sinners in the hands of an angry god. Only that sermon was based on scripture whereas the babbling grandmother just wanted to bully people that listened to her. Pokemon Go is not my salvation, nor my condemnation. I'm saved. I have every confidence in that, and am happy to say why. I thank Greg Sheridan and the IPA for their talk on Tuesday night in defence of faith and freedom. She did not tell me her church. It might have been JW, but it might not have been. I've heard evangelicals at churches I attend say such absurd, hurtful things. But, even were church leadership competent, and the church everywhere, such people would still exist, convinced of their own importance.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
