Baptist Pastor's Wife Warns of Google-Search Idolatry

[Reynolds]

Some people can carry off hyperbole and sarcasm. Others can't — and sometimes it makes them look like loons.

But to the ones that get it, it makes the ones who don't get it look like loons.

Also, in regards to turning to something else when you're lost instead of praying...So if I have someone in the car with me and I ask them which way to the store am I committing idolatry?

With her extrapolated "logic," perhaps even adultery.

If you are a good patrol officer, you know your entire precinct.

I imagine one would get to know his usual territory pretty well but people are doing things differently with technology and I'd bet a youngster could likely flash his fingers across a screen and glance at his his phone and tell you exactly where a place is at quicker than you could pull it out of your memory bank.

Nah. Good officers know their beat and know their people. A major reason l.e. is hated today is because they are distant from the citizens. They don't interact with the people in their precinct. They don't form relationships. Most of them never get out of the car except for enforcement action.

Mrs Salty has an interesting take on this

Did this lady come up with this on her own, or was it something her pastor mentioned/insisted/demanded?

If so, is this lady seeing her pastor as an idol?
