Hard Core

Have you ever heard of "thin slicing"?  It's when our bias's, prejudices, backgrounds, worldview, upbringing, social status, economic status singly, or in any combination causes us to see something or someone and come to an immediate judgment or opinion which in all likely hood is completely off base.

Because of our pride, I am inclined to think that most, if not all do it almost daily in our lives.  For example:

• how us guys view women (and maybe even our wives???)
• how we view those less fortunate than us
• how we view other Christians (yes, we do)
• how we view others of other races
• and more.

You can see an excellent example of some hard core thin slicing here. 

After seeing that....how do you think you might react?  Does it coincide with how you would really act faced with a similar situation?  Did you thin slice?

What are some of the areas in your life where thin slicing goes on automatic?
