"Read. Nuff Said."
So says a button handed out as part of a teen reading program sponsored by a public library.
When I first saw it I didn't see any problems with it. After all, reading is good, right? Better than all the trash on TV and the many revolting modern movies, for sure! Better than wasting time on Nintendo, Game Cube, and PS2, definitely!
But are they saying reading is good in and of itself? Because if so, they're wrong.
Here is my interpretation:
Reading can't save you. [public library]
Art can't save you. [NEA]
Education can't save you. [public education]
Government can't save you. [all of the above]
God can save you. [see the Bible for more information.]
Reading, in and of itself, isn't redemptive or good in any way. It can in fact be harmful- a steady diet of anti-God propaganda will affect you, whether its through movie, television, book, magazine, or radio.
