What He Said:  Monkey Theology
I grew up in a home with Bible verses everywhere. So I assumed that the figurine of three little monkeys over our kitchen sink - "See no evil; hear no evil; speak no evil" - represented a biblical principle: if you don't expose yourself to evil, you won't be evil. Later in life I discovered that the monkeys came from an ancient Chinese proverb that is actually opposed to Christ's teaching - that what comes out of a person is more telling than what goes in. While I can usually choose my level of cultural engagement and must assess it from a spiritual standpoint, I'm not always able to choose what I'm exposed to.
