Yeah, but what was the question?
On my way home from work, I drove past this church, the sign of which bore the following message:
Drugs and alcohol are not the answer. Jesus is the answer.
The problem here, of course, is that without the inclusion of a question, this is just patently untrue. Drugs and alcohol are the answer to a lot of questions. For instance: What has been responsible for a good number of high-profile celebrity deaths? What does the D.A.R.E. program warn kids about? What does Christa blog about 95 percent of the time? (All right, maybe drugs isn't exactly part of the answer to that last question, but it sure ain't Jesus, I can tell you that.)
So remember, kids, although Jesus is the answer to a lot of questions (among them: "Whose birthday do we celebrate on Christmas?" "Who was the subject of a recent film that made Mel Gibson shitloads of money?" and "What do people often say when someone cuts them off in traffic?"), it's probably not safe to assume that he's the answer to all questions.
