Thoughts on Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras... evangelical Christians greatly disagree on what to do with this cultural phenomena. Some embrace the fun without drinking and carousing and some think it is just an evil celebration.

Evangelical Christian groups come in from all over the country to do ministry over this long weekend. Some shout at people and tell them they are going to hell. Some come and love on people and try to share Jesus with them.

Disney World can be called New Orleans Southeast during Mardi Gras. Many evangelical Christians go there during this time to evade Mardi Gras, the traffic, and all the hoopla.

Some go to the parades with their families and enjoy. They act in a way that does not personally tarnish the name of Jesus (and in fact, lifts Him up through their actions)

I also know there are some Christians who fall into sin and get caught up in the debauchery of Mardi Gras.

Which position is right? Let me know your thoughts in the comments...
