Look, you are the one making the arguments ~ I merely responded to them. If you're just pushing rhetoric, fine, but when you personalize it, you own it.

Still, the WWJD stuff is idolatrous even if you, personally, don't do it.

So teenagers wearing WWJD bracelets are idolatrous heretics? I am sure most of them believe it is simply a mnemonic to remind them to act humanely toward other people. However, if you wish to judge them and call them names, I cannot stop you.

I am saddened, however, since that kind of obsession with legalism can turn young people off the Christian faith. The basis of Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If teenagers use a mnemonic to remind them of the behavioral standards of that relationahip, I have no problem with it. Nor do I believe that Jesus, in His infinite love and mercy, has a problem with it either.
