And they wonder why I don't participate anymore?

Dear god above, please be real, and please STRIKE DOWN THE POSEURS!


I shall expand on this when I get home, but...



there is a reason why I dont go to church any more, and why I loath the main line "Christians" as I do...


More on THAT later... not too much later, just not now, the coffee shops about to close, and I wanna grab one more hit of the good stuff ^_^


[EDIT]

Ahhhh yes, THATS much better ;p


Ha, no not gonna comment on that exactly, but yeah...


Anyway, back to my little rant for the day.


I don't personally call myself a christian, I label myself as an "Indi-Christion" for the sake of others, and the explanation I give is simply "I believe In God, Jesus and the Bible, but I'm not too big on most churches for a few select reasons."


What do I call myself you ask?

I call myself a follower of Jesus, in that I try my best to live my life by the core values of his teachings, which boil down to living your life, in love, turned outwardly, onto God and to others, not unlike the hypocritical oath Doctors take "do no harm" and I do my best, as imperfect as I am.


What REALLY gets under my skin, is the so called "Born Again Christians" who use religion as a cloak to cover their selfish and ultimately self serving actions, because they will do all kinds of things to "further the Kingdom" and "reach out to unbelievers" and be it that person who says "Praise Jesus!" all the time for the most STUPID everyday things, to the people who street preach and sing at open mic nights basically, coyly, and rather rudely, shoving their "faith" (religion really, which is TOTALLY removed from true Faith) down the public's throats...


Why?

Because Christendom has become incorporated by MEN looking to either "further the Kingdom" or just line their pockets with the money of the masses.


I need to expand on this more, but I have lost the drive to write, so more on that later... again... whatever.


Blah blah,
