Seth Godin had an amazing post recently about those people. The idea is that many leaders believe there is a chunk of society destined to be those people, or as Seth describes them:
You know, the people who will flip burgers or sweep streets or fill out forms all day. The ones who will be brainwashed into going into debt, into buying more than they can afford, to living lives that quietly move from one assigned task or one debt payment to another. If they're lucky.
The truth is that the group that is the worst at this is corporate Christianity. Christian leaders who think the members of their church are only capable of paying down debt so they can tithe more, serving by helping park cars at the most and sitting quietly in the pews one day a week.
Do you realize in the Bible they voted a guy in charge of the canned food ministry named Steve and this guy kicked so much ass that somebody who later wrote half the new testament murdered him. That is a heck of a canned food ministry.
When England had gone too far a small group of people split off and eventually started the United States of America, when the Catholic church had gone too far a guy named Luther split off and and eventually the 500 Club was started. The question for today is, is it time to quit Christianity and start following Jesus again?
To the best of my recollection, Jesus only used those people, Jesus was one of those people.
