Too many choices. . .

I have written before about the empty vanity of self-identity and our delight in using these invented categories as the way we see ourselves.  You might have thought gay or straight might have been enough but then came GLBT as an additional subset.  But as if that were not enough, no less than Facebook has entered the fray and come up with a stunning series of options (no less than 58!) of ways you can self-identify on their social media.  It seems as if the promise of Scripture is true -- from two can the many!  If you can make any sense of this, explain it to me.  Could it be that we are so self-absorbed that we really think like this?  As they say, if it is on the internet Facebook it must be true!

Was't it C.S. Lewis who said that when the focus turns from God all we that is left to us is sex?
