Who Thinks At Your Church?

Whether you believe it or not, what the books and magazines and now the internet is telling you if you read it is this-

let us think for you.

And, even if you think you go to a movie or a show for entertainment only, still, the message is

let us think for you.

People in the modern era (which will be ancient times before too long) worship books and art because it is where they received their thinking (if but second hand for most of us). People who study art write up what they think about it for readers, to swallow. Or, talkers, who study some art or another tell what it should mean to an audience of listeners.

Look for this one. If I tell you what I think and you react by strong disagreement I am controlling what you think as surely as the one who agrees with you.

Who among us refuses to tell us what to think? Who leaves a gap in every tale out of respect to allow the receiver to fill in the truth for himself? Who in other words, offers no solution? Who says every time, “You Know.” (A good comedian?) (Not if you only think it is funny.) (A good one also makes you cry.)
