YS Update 2 (Campolo quotes)

Campolo Quotes From YS

• (Regarding Apologetics) "The conflict is not between Christianity and science... Science is no longer on the throne"
  
• "If we are conditioned by our past, we are more influenced by what we anticipate in the future"
  

Paraphrases of Campolo statements (because I didn't write them down exactly and don't want to misquote him)

• Don't presume that just because your ministry is producing pious kids who don't use 4-letter words that they are "Christian". Christians pursue justice for the poor and oppressed.
• In a city in England, there was a rule passed that you could no longer refer to the decorative seasonal lights as "Christmas Lights". They must now be called "holiday lights" so as not to offend Muslims and Jews. The Rabbis and Imans were the first to protest, because 'if the Christians can no longer express themselves in the public arena, how much longer will we be able to?'
• If I was forced to choose between individualitic salvation and social justice, I would have to go with individualistic salvation. However, you do not have to choose. We must pursue both.
  

I also got to hear Tony do a couple of his famous riffs, i.e.

• "It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming"
• "...[a large number of] children die every day of starvation and you people don't give a [expletive]. What's worse is that more of you care that I said [expletive] than about the starving children."

Good stuff.
