re: #359 b.d.

I love Christmas time, a time where the ones who think they are better christians than anyone get to scream, get full of butthurt and act like 5 year olds.

This triggers a few thoughts I’ve been having.

There was a time when Christians were humble, meek, helpful, full of unwavering love and all that good stuff.

Lately they have become so full of themselves like they are the chosen, better than everyone, capable of judging and condemning, etc. Righteous to the point of just being in-your-face assholes.

Is a lot of that type of thinking coming from the newer Christian churches that have the arena-like sizes with the stages, sound systems and lighting? Are they all being turned into “Christian Soldiers” that are being taught to go out and proselytize and be more active.

It just seems some of these people just pound on their pumped-out chests and think they are saved and you are not and they just have to tell you.

Which all seems very different from “religion” as I remember it years ago. Maybe it is just the ‘net allowing them to be assholes, but I don’t think this is what the “Message” was all about. Seems to me this is all going to lead to something real bad. Just a feeling…a feeling that this is all so wrong.
