"Whatever."
After my fifteen minute tirade as to why it is never 'whatever' we calmly decided to ban the use of the flippant phrase from our vocab.
‘Whatever’ is lazy, disrespectful but most of all, and this is why we want it squashed from our daily discourse, ‘whatever’ says, "I've decided to live in a world where nothing is certain, nothing is absolutely true, anything is acceptable and anything rejectable."
Ever heard it from a kid doing his homework? “Hey Johnny, this answer is wrong. 3x3 is 9 not 11.”
“Whatever.”
The worlds of science and math abhor the stupidity (oops, that's another banned word) of relativism. The shrug of ‘whatever’ belittles and defies reality.
When it comes to matters as critical, as constant, and as absolute as God, ‘whatever’ can be deadly!
You got your truth I got mine. You say it’s wrong, I say it’s okay.
Jesus saves? ‘Whatever.’
Jesus is 3 x 3. (and I don't mean in the Benny Hinn way...who claims each member of the trinity has a trinity...but that discussion is for another time...and with Martians.)
The resurrection of Jesus is a frustrating fact in 'Whatever World'. In its light 'whatever' is anti-truth.
“The times of ignorance (‘whatever’) God overlooked, but...He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world...by a Man whom He has appointed; and has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead." (Acts 17:30)
Whatever World and its citizens have, with lazy, pragmatic ease populated school boards, congress, courts and, most astonishingly, pew and pulpit.
Welcome to Whatever World Assembly. Come be a part of...whatever it is you think it should be.
