I find it extremely upsetting to see so much christianism in politics.
First, it was the accusations that Barack Obama was not a Christian. Apparently, he had joined the church over 20 years ago because he was secretly a Muslim from Kenya plotting to take over America and I remember some older church goers speculate his being the anti-christ- WTF!
The Christian's are at it again. The right wing race for nomination is now "who's the most Christian." In my understanding, the nominee may win the ticket if he can prove to be the
Today's "CHRISTIAN" is nothing but a government, just as it was before Jesus came around; they aren't christian, aka Christ Followers.
What is the point in calling your self Christian, aka a Christ follower by choosing to govern by the Bible?
The most IMPORTANT thing about the bible is found in the gospels. Its the message of Jesus! Did Jesus ever one tell people how to govern (like Moses)??
The gospels doesn't adhere to the old law. Jesus taught you can live within law, but you will not be at peace in your heart if your mind and heart isn't good (He's not much different that the Buddha).
Jesus BASHED THE CHURCH!
He taught to mind your fucking business and stop the hypocrisy!
As soon as he died, they started up the church again but in his memory and called him a God, a Saviour.
Jesus would be disappointed in what happened since his death, in his honor law and bigotry was resurrected.
Public portrayals of Christianity are why the numbers of church-goers have diminished drastically. I forget the percentage now (it was quoted many years ago in my college religion classes), but they were dropping like flies. With easier access to information and more education for everyone, I think we all expect more from religious leaders. Hypocrisy isn't one of them.
ReplyDeleteCompelling post, Pet! I believe that there's A LOT of legalism in the world today. And when you read the Bible, legalism is something Jesus was against.
ReplyDeleteThat's my two cents!
