Meme-ing and Demeaning Scripture

Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M Rogers

Memes have become a near universal experience of contemporary life, at least for anyone who spends any time at all on any social media platform. They are print visuals, usually containing some caption that makes a humorous, poignant, insightful, political, or maybe even snarky message. The memes then "go viral" as we say, being proliferated on the World Wide Web. Nothing in Scripture suggests Christian believers should not meme, but as part of life in a fallen world, memes, like everything else, should be evaluated in terms of Scripture to assure that we are making memes that do not misrepresent, misquote, misalign, or demean Scripture. Since 2024 was a US presidential election year, political memes dominated social media, and for whatever reasons, Mr. Trump, by far, was featured in memes, good, bad, or ugly, more often that Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris, at least in terms of association with Christian themes. Some of the memes are in poor taste, some offer little more than civil religion, some, in my estimation, are sacrilegious.
