Yep. That's right. You can buy not only the Bible at Wal-Mart, you can buy god and gender too. And they've gone through some effort for all of us to know that. Which is so convenient, because I was getting really tired of having to look for those things.
I hope everyone knows that the owners of Wal-Mart take up four slots on the list of the world's top ten richest people.
I hope everyone knows that communities around the world continue to boycott the presence of Wal-Mart because of its unfair trade practices, shoddy employee treatment, and obliteration of independently owned stores.
Rather than go shopping at Wal-Mart, I challenge all of us to go out into the world and see god in a leaf. To find the feminine in our fathers and the masculine in our mothers. To find both ends of the spectrum in ourselves, plus everything in between.
While we're at it, let's find god in our mothers and fathers. And, yes, in ourselves.
We can do it.
