Christians seem to be a plague on the Earth, you know? Even since day one. Back in Rome, what did they do? Spread propoganda and knocked on doors and spread papers... they chose to continue living in the Roman cities and tell everyone how it was going down, how God hated Rome, how it was the most wretched empire and would be destroyed in the wrath of God...
And nowadays there's the born-agains, pushing all up in everyone's busness and screaming to love the Lord and NOT walking as they should. My mom is a Catholic Nazi, if you'll excuse the term. She is avadly militant about Jesus. Can't even talk to her about other religions without her saying, "No. Because the bible says that's not true." "Mom, they don't BELIEVE in the bible." "But the Bible is the word of God and he speaks truth and wisdom and his word is infalliable blah blah blah..." "But they don't believe in the bible. Besides, it's not really the word of god, PEOPLE wrote it." "but it says if someone changes the words..."
etc.
But do they behave the way they tell US to behave? No. Maybe instead of going to Africa to force conversion upon people and in exchange build a bridge or well, why not dig the damn well, build the damn bridge and when you leave, leave some bibles for them. Then people see what a decent person you are. 'Maybe there's something to this religion, makes such good people...'
And then the shit where buddhists and stuff will be in hell. From what I've learned (although I admit it isn't too damn much) they have the same 'golden rule' type things going down. The only thing is no god, right? Why should a person be denied "eternal bliss" because they don't dig some dead fellow?
Thats another thing. Why would this God only show in the middle east? Surely he isn't so stupid as to think hitting one place a few times (depending on beliefs, one two or three) will cut it for the whole world? Does god hate asians? Africans? Indians? Eskimos? Mexicans? WTF?
I dunno. I'm ranting again, but it's just so damn FRUSTRATING.
Priests, though. Yeah, I've met two good ones. And seven bad ones. Not likeing them odds.
