BPWATDS Encylopedia: “I have a personal relationship with God”
|
“I have a personal relationship with God” \Ī\ \hav\ \a\ \pur-suh-nl\ \ri-ley-shuhn-ship\ \with\ \god\ A phrase common among black Christians when caught doing something they have no business doing (e.g. stealing macaroni from the church kitchen, making a porno with the church’s AV equipment, etc.). Regardless of the offense, said phrase allows the offender to take a complete dump on the Bible in good conscience. By delivering it, the speaker implies having a “direct line” to God, in which God apparently consents to any and all deliberate foolishness so long as permission is asked beforehand, or forgiveness is asked afterward.
