<a href=”http://rudini.com/internet-marketing-news/all-about-internet-advertising-methods”>internetl be a page full of my opinions and ranting. If you don’t
like what I say on this page, I don’t care. If you don’t like foul
language, leave immediately because I’m perturbed and probably will
use a few choice words throughout the course of this little article.
I am damn sick and tired of hearing Pagans complain about Christians
and Christianity. This complaining includes, but is not limited
to….”Christians are mindless fools who follow the lies of the
church…….” or, “There is no such thing as a true or good
Christian because none of them are living as devoted followers of
Christ……” or, “Christian churches are organizations of greedy,
dishonest fools……” or, “Christianity is a close-minded system of
beliefs and those who follow it are also close-minded…..” etc.,
etc.
Blah, blah. Why must Pagans constantly try to prove to the world how
“stupid” Christianity is?
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow…..
On the topic of money and offerings in church and within Christian
organizations….I hate to break the news to everyone who complains
about this, but every organization needs money. Churches of all types
take up offerings to pay for maintenance and upkeep of the church,
which usually includes paying someone to clean and remodel, paying
for electric, gas, and other utilities, paying for any dinners or
special gatherings, paying the pastor for his work (yes, pastors get
paid because many of them consider preaching their full-time job),
paying to support missionaries or mission groups that travel, give to
various charities, and the list goes on. Are Pagans really aware of
what it takes to keep a church financially sound? Apparently not.
Yes, there are greedy Christians out there, yes, there are churches
and organizations that just want your money, etc. Look around, there
are “bad” people everywhere. What dumbass can’t see that, yes, the
world is full of greed and dishonesty? But the majority of Christian
churches just want to take care of their church in a fair and honest
way. That’s what the offering is for. When a church asks for an
offering for “God,” this simply means give some money to help keep
God’s house a nice place for everyone to visit. See? Is that
difficult to understand? How can an organization function without
money? It can’t.
Yes, I know there have been idiots who, while posing as Christians,
lied to the public and stole money from everyone who donated to them.
There still are idiots like this. Why hold this against all
Christians? If you do, you’re a jackass.
You’re Not a Devoted Christian
Many Pagans say it. They are Pagans, (or at least non-Christians) yet
they seem to be authorities on who is a devout Christian and who is
not. Pagans know how every Christian thinks, how they pray, what
their true motives are? No, they don’t. Mr. Joe Christian down the
street got caught speeding….holy crap, a Christian broke the law!
“He isn’t a ‘real’ Christian!” My ass. I’ll tell you what he
isn’t…..he isn’t a perfect human being. Know why he’s not a perfect
human being? Because no such being exists. Christians disobey their
God’s teachings at times, Christians make mistakes, they might even
break the law sometimes. They might cuss now and then, they might not
“do unto others” now and again, they might covet their neighbor’s
car…..or wife, they might forget to pray before bedtime, they might
punch someone out for acting like a jerk instead of turning the other
cheek…..they’re human. The difference between a Christian human and
a non-Christian human is that the Christian’s general attitude will
be to do his or her best to follow Christ’s teachings, to do his or
her best to live how Christ might intend. For some, their best isn’t
that great. For others, their best means being damn near perfect. But
being imperfect, breaking a rule here and there, being a little “bad”
once in a while….it happens to Christians and non-Christians alike.
It’s human nature. This does not mean a person is not a devoted
Christian.
Phobia
Why are Pagans so offended by Christian organizations- almost afraid
of them to the point that they create paranoid theories about them,
even create little “mottos” about Christianity that they think are so
clever and insightful? Ever heard of homophobia? You know, how people
say that certain straight folks are afraid of gays, thinking the gay
lifestyle will “rub off” if they get to close? Usually, homophobia
includes verbal attacks against gays, creating paranoid theories
about them, displaced anger and unnecessary hatred toward them. Hmmm.
Well, I think a lot of Pagans have “Christophobia.” All these Pagans
with their meaningless hatred (they say they don’t hate, only
disagree, but I think it’s bullshit), paranoid theories, all their
little mottos about how stupid Christians are….I think they are
afraid. Afraid that if they try to be nice, try to understand, and
try to be open-minded with Christians, some Christian ideas might rub
off. And how uncool would that be for a hard-core, greenman loving,
goddess worshipping, athame-wielding Pagan to actually have nice
things to say about Christianity? What would everyone think? To
actually shut your pie hole and stop verablly bashing
Christians…..well, that would be almost un-Pagan!
Well, some Christians don’t like us! They say we are going to hell!
-So I guess that means all us non-Christians should act like immature
asses and create ideas about how stupid Christianity is, right?
Oh no, there are people in the world who give Chrisitanity a bad
name. Oh no, the Christian religion doesn’t suit you or your
lifestyle. So freaking what? Just because you think Christianity is
stupid, this doesn’t make it so. If you don’t like Christianity,
don’t like the way Christian churches conduct themselves, don’t like
Christian political views, moral views, and just generally don’t like
the religion….isn’t that why you are a non-Christian? So…..why
can’t that fact speak for itself?
And if you think I’m stupid for complaining about this topic, then
feel free to clicky clicky on your back button and find something
else to read. This is my website and within these pages, I am God
(dess).
By the way- another peeve I will mention- “Xian.” I hate when Pagans
spell Christian this way. Morons.
Yes, anyone is free to be “Christophobic” if they want. Just seems
there are more important causes to devote our time to.
Thank you, thank you very much.
