Religion is a central element in civilization that
propagates basic values and ethical codes which provide integration to
personality and cohesion to society. It plays an important role in the society.
This, unfortunately, is gradually
turning into an excuse to exercise appalling barbarity. “If Christ was here, there is one thing he would not be;
a Christian.”-Mark Twain- (he was an atheist eh?)
I do not want to stereotype a vast and diverse segment of
the world population, but from personal experience…those who purport to be
staunch “saved” Christians are the meanest pricks out there. Have they always been this harsh, judgmental
and intolerant and am I just starting to notice? Is Christianity deteriorating
into a phony empty and hollow to the core religion?
Who are these Christians? You pose that question.
These Christians who practice selective morality, where
what suits them and is palatable they
cling to like saran wrap and shove down other people’s throats then ignore
silently what is obnoxious, inconvenient
or self denying. Excuse: applicable only
to people who lived 2000 years ago. These bible thumping Christians, who will test you and
wear you down to a few vertebrae and a pool cerebral spinal fluid, with
randomly crammed verses to appear more superior in knowledge of God’s word. These Christians who give to the poor to be recognized by
fellow men…posting your visit to children homes photos on every social site you
can find.
Let one with no sin cast the first stone? That verse has obviously been omitted in most of your holy books. Born again Christians, quick to condemn sexual immorality (homosexuality) but are not too concerned about their lust. I will stay on this…obviously. If I can remember from my scanty knowledge of the bible, it says, ALL sex outside marriage is a sin. It doesn't matter if you have a long time “saved” boyfriend/girlfriend, you’re divorced, widowed or having same sex relations. It’s all sin and no sin is greater than the other. So where do these Christians get off calling homosexuals all sorts of derogatory unprintable filth in the name of “hating the sin, not the sinner.” Treating animals better than fellow human beings. Appointing yourselves as judge, jury and executioner. WHO DIED AND MADE YOU GOD?
You act like you are immune to wrong doing and sin. One
barely sees past the huge mahogany logs jutting out of their eyes but they can
clearly see the speck in their neighbors’ eye? Eh? Do not lie to us boss; you
go on putting emphasis on the tiniest of religious details and ignore the most
important and basic truths that this Christ you claim has saved you taught:
love for God, secondly love for your neighbor.
I do not go to church. I did not like it every time I
tried. What with people prancing in like show ponies; cliques, I kid you not,
like high school. The preaching of two faced idealism then passing these
teachings off as “God’s personal feelings” (God hates fags). The intense focus
on getting converts which ended up making me feel like a target to fulfill a
quota rather than a spiritually impoverished human being. Being guilt tripped
from here to Timbuktu about getting “saved” or baptized. What of the speaking
in tongues, barking, holy laughter, convulsing and all that jazz…its loud,
confusing, I can barely hear my own petition with all that going on and its
arrogant to assume that certain spiritual experiences make you better than everybody else . Pride: one of
the seven deadly sins. It’s okay to be proud to be a Christian, but not en route
to a put-down of your neighbor; “I am saved because of it but you are headed
straight for hell to burn in sulfur and brimstone*smirks*.” All that and
etcetera was enough to turn me off worldly churches and into my personal quiet
time to commune with God without secondhand dilution by some middleman with an
agenda.
I am calling on all of you to question the validity of
calling yourselves Christians. Where is
the problem? Is your faith something you were born into; you know how to act,
what to say but it wasn’t your choice, consequently it’s not real? Do you view
your faith as intellectual knowledge and behavioral compliance, where you
follow all the given rules and regulations (loopholes) but your hearts do not
reflect that? Sowing seeds of tribalism and homophobia wherever you step, that
shit is not cool. You are risking peoples’ lives, especially those who are in
support of that Ugandan bill where homosexuality is punishable by death if that
bill is passed. Non Christians seem nice and more caring than you lot; probably
because their consciences are stronger and clearer.
Nothing seems to faze you though; your life is secure in
heaven. Who gives a flying rat’s arse eh? At this point those suicide bombing
jihadist people are looking pretty good from here. They actually give up their
lives for what they believe in…they die and go away. We are stuck with this
brand of mean spirited hypocritical cunts day in day out, with all that hate,
negativity and judgment.
Jesus Christ simplified it for all of us. LOVE. Spread
that gospel this election season, won’t you?
