The wife and I were discussing our houseplants. I says "I like them here because they add life to the place". (She didn't like how you have to clean up after their life). We have a combination of real and synthetic plants around the house. I said "I wonder if the real plants get annoyed by the fake ones?". It must be kinda like getting on the bus and looking for a seat, but the bus has mannequins sitting everywhere. Artificial representations of something real. Do they always flatter that which is real? or do they sometimes mock it?

If i met someone who looked and acted exactly like me, and did the same kinds of things i did, and i knew that I definitely was not a twin separated at birth, I bet it would be creepy to see that... uncomfortable. Possibly because deep down we all want to be unique. You ladies hate when you go to a party or some function and there's a another gal there with the exact dress you have on when you were convinced yours was an original. How much more disturbing when it's someone exactly like you? It was fun as a kid to imagine it being true, the urban legend that somewhere in the world everyone has a double. But now we can take heart knowing that in reality, God has made each one of us unique and special like snowflakes. We're everyone of us, "fearfully and wonderfully made".

There's just something irritating about a charade of something you are,...or aspire to be, being in your face.  ESPECIALLY if that portraiture is a gross misrepresentation.  A drastic example for a Christian, would be the "Westborough Baptists" who picket military funerals with anti-gay hate demonstrations. Even most non-Christian and secularists know they are really the lunatic fringe. They are the descendants of those who perpetrated bloodthirsty wars in God's name during the crusades and burned innocent people as witches in Salem. These people though claiming to be Christians, and NOT Christians, yet atheists and those aggressive in their attacks on Christianity love to point out these black eyes of our faith, but it's only intellectual dishonesty and mudslinging based on emotional bias when they're trying to lump all of Christendom together with those bad examples and make it seem like that we've done more harm then good. That's a lie. Yet it can still be an embarrassment.

There also is a practice in our time that is evil, when people deliberately make an issue out of one thing, and attempt to sway the tide of opinion or paint a bad picture based on it. It's seen in political spin doctoring, but also in everyday life when someone intentionally elevates a negative thing and deliberately forgets even an overwhelmingly larger amount of good things the person is or does. You want people to see you as you want to be seen. You don't want to be caught in an awkward moment doing something you're ashamed of, and have that image burned into their mind forever. When that happens to me...it drives me crazy. At work i want my co-workers to think i'm just as capable as them. One of the guys. It's a kind of peer pressure that stayed with me since high school i guess, you fear being singled out by the group. Being whispered and talked about or worse, being rejected. So when you finally show your true colors and make a mistake, you do everything you can to cover it up or fix it before anyone notices. (True colors in the sense that we all are indeed imperfect, not true colors that you are revealed to be inferior to their cliques.)

But getting back to the subject of imitators, the most sinister of ALL doppelgangers, is the one coming who will trick many people into thinking HE is Jesus Christ returning to the Earth. Often when all attempts at sabotaging the credibility of a person have been exhausted, the next move is impersonation. What better way to slander and defame someone, then to masquerade as them and do things that are inappropriate? First you must convince everyone that you're really the one you're impersonating. He wants to steal the Lord's thunder, but the REAL Messiah has a copyright that no one can infringe upon. Don't buy into this impostor, the genuine and authentic Jesus Christ is alive today and seeks to have a personal relationship with you. Do you know Him?
