Context

Everything we do is about the right context. The story of the woman giving all she had in Luke 21 seems out of context. A purple cow (thanks to Seth Godin) in a field of all black and white cows seems out of context. Me talking about engineering or computer programming on this blog would seem out of context. But, if we knew that Jesus was actually not talking about giving, and that he was talking about the hypocrisy of a religious system it makes much more sense. Or we said the purple cow was actually an advertisement for a purple shoe, or engineering was talked about on this blog because I had interviewed a Christian engineer it all comes in to context. Christianity/scripture/religion, in the wrong context, seems all too wrong. People are becoming more devoted to putting back in the right context. What ways do you see Christianity/scripture/religion in the wrong context?
