Now, I don't like to preface my opinion with explanation because its my opinion. Its what I think and if anyone doesn't like it they can kiss my ass. However, this is a subject in which I'll preface...
I'm not, in any way, saying that I don't believe in God or Jesus or any of the rules they supposedly came up with before some guy wrote them down. I believe that there is a higher power of some sort. I don't necessarily agree with most of what organized religion says or tells us to do, but I'll give God the benefit of the doubt. How else could you explain the euphoric substance that is orange juice? Come on now...
So, onto the point....the whole W.W.J.D. thing. It used to be a lot bigger than it is now. T-shirts, bracelets, tattoos (which makes little sense when you think about it), all that crap. Its not as prominent now as it was five or ten years ago but it still gets an honorable mention every now and then. I don't know who came up with it but I'd be willing to bet they made some serious money off of it (not exactly what God would've had in mind, but who am I to judge). Let's get one thing straight here......if you're looking for paradise in the after-life while having absolutely NO fun while you're here on earth, then What Would Jesus Do is the perfect motto for you. Would Jesus have a beer after a hard day? No, probably not. Would Jesus go out for a night on the town bar hopping with six or seven friends? Nah. Would Jesus go bungi jumping? Well.....maybe, but let's face it......its not like he'd have to worry about surviving the fall if the bungi snapped. Would Jesus binge on cheeseburgers and ice cream when having a bad day? Hell no. Jesus would just pray while eating that crappy bread with no yeast in it. Jesus would preserve his after-life. But..........in the immortal words of......well, I'm not really sure who originated it but........."Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways- beer in one hand-cheeseburger in the other- body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming- "WHOO-HOO, What a Ride!"
If you're looking for a boring life with barely any fun and lots of people telling you to lighten up, then What Would Jesus Do is definitely for you. But if you're looking to have a blast in your life.....if you're looking to have a night where you have the chance to wake up the next day with six friends in a jail cell wondering what the hell you did last night, each with different tattoos on different parts of your body......if you're actually looking to have outstandingly fun stories to tell for ages to come...........I highly recommend a different approach......W.W.J.D. works..........but try this one..........
