You know when you walk down the street and a homeless dude or dudette asks you for money and you say no, but then you start feeling guilty and because you feel guilty you start feeling pissed.
Praise Jesus!
You know when your aunt or cousin or grandma or father sends you a card for your birthday or Christmas or whatever and you open it, hoping to find a little bit of money because you really need help paying this months rent, but instead the aunt or cousin or grandma or father says that you are in their “prayers”.
Praise Jesus!
You know when millions of people die in religious wars.
Praise Jesus!
When people fight over a woman’s body in the name of God instead of allowing her body to be her own.
Praise Jesus!
When thousands upon thousands of those non-aborted babies go hungry on the streets, go to war or prison just so they can eat.
Praise Jesus!
You know when you meet people who are Christian who have never read the bible but use it to justify why they will or will not do something, or why they are right and you are wrong.
Praise Jesus!
Or when people do read the bible and choose to take out the bits and pieces that relate to their situation or argument…often times ending the argument by saying something like, “well, it’s in the bible and the bible says it’s wrong.”
Praise fucking Jesus!
Righteousness, zealousness, fundamentalness. Knowing that what you believe is right, that it is the only way to believe and that you can not open your mind to any other way of understanding because the only way to live is with Jesus in your heart. When all you do is sit around trying to convince people that Christianity is the way and you block out everything the other person tries to say. When you can’t rationalize making your own life happen because god leads the way. When you are a woman and you let men walk all over you in the name of the Lord. When you are a man and you walk all over women in the name of the Lord.
Praise Jesus!
When all the stores are closed on a holiday when you need a drink more than ever.
Praise Jesus!
in response to your whole blog on the subject.... people (white, biblethumper hardcore christians who refuse to see anyother POV) basicly have no clue about other religions of the world. if they did they would not be as ignorant about what you have pointed out .
ReplyDeletenow mind you , some of us have enough faith and knowledge about our own cultural background to back up what we say.
(QUOTING HELLBOY 1 :
Your God chooses to remain silent.
Mine lives within me.)
*im using this in the context of bloodlines as set down in the old books of the Abramic/Babylonian religions *
sometimes like in the case of people who are from that particular race (semitic -read as MIDDLEASTERN, and including ALL cultures therein-) the faith is part of their race and they know the value of it
*inherently since they are the first among MAN to create civilization, historicly* ,instead of saying im "a believer" or such things that you can easily say you believe in one religion and turn to another when it suits you.
people of that particular decent are more adamant about their faith , and believe me i have had enough talks with people who you discribe in this to say without a shadow of a doubt i have put them in their place and walked out of the discussions the winner (and them sitting going WTF .. . in the aftermath)
you would be suprised to know what a TRUE CHILD OF FAITH can do to one of these people ( have had it out with Jehova witnesses, muslims, european Jews and everyone in between and you know what .... quoting actual religious texts i won my arguement, no contest.... because those who i spoke to were of the majority IGNORANT and follow the crowd sort .)
