How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb to a new energy efficient one?

Question

This was asked before by another poster. What do you think of the answer that I found? Apparently it only took one Christian, Lewis Latimer:

"...the main weakness of Edison's bulb - their short life span (generally only a few days.) Latimer set out to make a longer lasting bulb. Latimer devised a way of encasing the filament within an cardboard envelope which prevented the carbon from breaking and thereby provided a much longer life to the bulb and hence made the bulbs less expensive and more efficient. This enabled electric lighting to be installed within homes and throughout streets Latimer applied for a patent for the "Process of Manufacturing Carbons" and it was granted in January 1882. "

After purchasing a home in the predominantly white neighborhood of Flushing, Queens, Latimer worked together with other members of this community to establish a local chapter of the Unitarian church. He believed that the Constitution of the United States guaranteed social justice for African Americans. In an eloquent affirmation of his civil rights philosophy, Latimer wrote, “It is necessary that we should show the people of this country that we who have by our martyrdom under the lash; by our heroism on the battlefield; by our Christian forbearance beneath an overwhelming burden of injustice; and by our submission to the laws of the native land, proven ourselves worthy citizens of our common country.”

Answer 1

Well, you know what the old saying is, "Ask a silly question......". :)

Answer 2

Ignoring the history lesson about Latimer, I'll directly address the question you asked: "How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb to a new energy efficient one?"

My answer -- 1 Christian. Who, probably, being a rational person, would stay focused on that task. On the other hand, it might take **ten** doltish PSEUDO-Christians of the RRR Cult to do it, since it's hard to break them away from their dedication to their hate-agendas against personal liberties of millions of other people.

Answer 3

well, ya got your "stewards of the Earth" type Christians and you're "end is nigh" type Christians.

the "stewards of the Earth type" Christian would likely happily install energy efficient light bulbs and work hard to undo the damages humans have done to this Planet. these are the Christians who consider the Earth to be a precious gift from God and care about the Planet their children and grand children will inherit.

the "end is nigh" Christians don't care about the health of the environment since they figure they'll be gloriously raptured to a brand new Earth, leaving the old one behind like a filthy disposable diaper. the "end is nigh" Christians hate this Planet and want it to die asap so they can get their heavenly rewards and be rulers over a New Earth. "end is nigh" Christians are selfish spoiled brats who imagine they deserve new toys after they've wantonly destroyed the ones they have.

Answer 4

Ummm... I've been switching my lightbulbs to the engery-saving ones as the regular ones burn out... Does that count?
