Why I do not like the vast majority of Modern Christians.

March 13, 2007 10

Today I checked my email and I got a comment from someone on my last entry. The person told me that they believe Jesus is THE way and not A way. How cute.

I dont really mind Christians and I LOVE the history of Christianity. Anyone who knows me personally knows how much respect I have for Christian theology and Early Christian History. I know everything from the rarest of Christian Apocrypha and Jewish Psuedgraphia to the great schism, to the ecumenical councils and the councils of Nicea right up to the formation of Protestantism and what has become Modern Christianity, a sad, pathetic bastardization of what was once a great faith.

Now, I realize that I lost most “Christians” at “theology.” Now theyre just flipping angry that I called Christianity a bastard! lmao.

Anyways..
I dont have a problem with Christians and I really dont have a problem with Christianity on a general basic level.  I dont like belittling a faith because the faith is not what makes the religion a peice of shit. Its the people who believe in the religion. Everyone knows its true. Islam is not making people strap bombs to their chest and blow people up, its the stupid fucks who are misinterpreting their texts and taking it upon themselves to carry out sick actions for their religiously motivated political ideals.
There are Christians all over the world who fascinate and intrigue me, but my beef is really with AMERICAN Protestant Christians, and a little more widely, people who practice the modern Western form of Christianity. You know..the Ted Haggard, Benny Hinn, Jerry Falwell, Shepards Chapel type Christianity. So if you arent this type of Christian and you allow others to live and let live, then please, do not be offended because I am not talking to you.

I have a hard time relating Jesus to 1500 people worshipping in a multi million dollar man made building, singing songs written by white men, and listening to a guy whos driving the newest Jaguar bought with contributions from the people who are sitting there hanging on to every work hes fucking saying.

I have read the Nag Hammadi Library. I have read all of the secret “books” and Apocryphas. I have read the Dead Sea Scrolls and I just do not think that The Bible portrays Jesus in an accurate light. When you read on the history of Christianity and you see all of the rewriting and omissions that have been put into the “canonized” version of the Bible, you really have to ask yourself if you should believe what youre reading.  Im sorry but I just dont see the point in putting so much heed into something that is, very openly, written by a bunch of old dudes who literally sat around deciding what should and should not be put into the Bible. It doesnt make any sense to me and yet millions upon millions of modern Christians put stock into this crap and seem to totally ignore the history of their religion like it just did not exist.  You are RELIGIOUS for a reason. You are RELIGIOUS because you believe in what is written in your RELIGIOUS text. You believe the dogma and the doctrine, you put faith into it. There is no room for true faith or spirituality in something that has been 100 percent manipulated by man and continues to be manipulated by man every single day. Thats just a small reason why I dont like the vast majority of modern Christians.

The other reason, and the main reason, is directed more at “conservative Christianity” even though its really not something I have against the Conservative right, its just something that I observe.

Christians use the Bible as moral criteria and yet they dont treat sins equally as it says to do in the Bible. There is only ONE sin that should be treated ANY differently than the other ones and that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (guess im goin to hell, lol). So the same Christians who dont support gay marriage and burn down abortion hospitals are out there smoking pot and fucking before theyre married.
A lot of modern Christians are not philosophically consistant. They are philosophically  INconsistant in  their beliefs. They are cafeteria Christians who pick and choose what sins are RIGHT and what sins are WRONG. THAT to me should be the ultimate form of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. If there is ONE crooked fucking religion, it is the religion of Christianity. It has been manipulated SO MUCH that is has turned into a cesspool of hypocrites and perverts who use their man made religion to justify how inequal they treat people, or they simply use the Bible as a means to justify their own sick behaviour or to cover up what theyve REALLY been up to. Look at the “examples” of Christians in the American Media. We have Rush Limbaugh, the guy who believes that “drug addicts” should be put into labour camps, then one year later it comes out in the news that Mr. Limbaugh is an OxyContin (heroin anyone?) addict. Then we have Ted Haggard who spent his free time visiting gay bars to preach the Gospel to gays and try to convert them back to Christ. Then we find out that for the past three years hes been snorting methamphetamine and fucking a gay escort. Im not even going to say anything about the Priests. We ALL know what theyve been up to.  And if you say that these people cant be used as examples of Christians in the Media than Osama Bin Laden cannot be used as an example of Muslims in the Media. Maybe Christianity is so rampantly followed because its EASY. Being Christian is EASY. You can snort meth and have gay sex on Saturday night, go to church on Sunday morning and purge your sins and everything is ok.

Christian has given the word “religion” a bad name and pretty much anyone who is anti-religion can tell you that.

I dunno. Thats just my 2c. :)

By the way, I was raised Christian..so..dont give me any stupid bullshit. Ive been there, done that. Also keep in mind this is MY site and if you dont agree with me then you can keep your ideas to yourself because I didnt ask your opinion.  xD

  1. Although I’m Christian, I agree that people shouldn’t force their religion upon other people. I’m glad that you’re not just pin-pointing every Christian and It’s nice to see that you are actually looking from both ways. :) Anyways, that was an interesting post to read. You’re site is pretty cool, keep it up! :D

  2. I think everyone has their own opinion about religion. opinion doesn’t mean we hate or bash it. its just what we think about. I am a Taoist and I also voice out some things that I am not very happy over my religion. So yea nothing wrong about it. Don’t worry~Nice site by the way.

  3. I don’t have anything against christianity– in fact, I kind of believe that God exists. I think it’s silly that some people judge others by their religon….. sure– some people are so superstitious about the spirits and everything, that they’d actually kneel down for who-knows-how-long before they eat, and it would be kind of hard to have a decent meal with them…. but people have no right to judge others be religon. None. -.-

  4. Uhh…not to sound rude but I found something really wrong with this statement:
    “I don’t have anything against christianity– in fact, I kind of believe that God exists.”

    Christianity is not the only religion with a belief in God. There are MANY other religions that believe in God. There are many other faiths that are built and sustained by the belief in the Supreme Divine, God.

    I am not Christian, however, I believe without a doubt that God exists. It kind of makes me sad to think that so many people equate God with only Christianity when there is so much more.

  7. There are a lot of live and let live modern christians, it’s just that no one really sees past all of the fire and brimstone, codemn! condemn! Ted Haggard types.

    You did hit the nail on the head, though, because there are a lof of inconsistant people out there who think they’re on the holy high horse when they’re actually walking contradictions. Funny how those people are always the ones to criticize… ugh.

  8. I won’t express my comments about Christians because people will end up thinking that because I believe they are so sucked into believing that their way is the only way, that they are nothing but self righteous arrogant bastards that are unable to accept the fact that our world has been around LONG BEFORE the birth of Adam and Eve, that I don’t like Christians.

    Or that they love everyone and Christians are such loving and peaceful people. Two words. The Crusades. Not a lot of peace there, let me tell you.

    Half the Bible is about war and anger and hate and the way they try to interpret it, it was because they were lessons. God destroyed his world, put people on a boat and killed EVERYTHING ELSE HE LOVED because of a lesson? Sounds like a spoiled little brat that didn’t get his way to me.

    So yeah, I won’t say what I have to say about Christians. Someone might get offended. =)

  9. O_o I really really like what you’ve written here its what I’ve been saying for YEARS only better. Can I link you? I grew up a Christian and left the entire religion as a whole for Paganism/Witchcraft. I have a lot of respect for the history/Christianity itself not the way its run in the modern world.
    I really do have a lot of respect for what you have to say here.

  10. Excellent post. Spot on. But sadly, I believe the Haggard types are the rule these days, not the exception. I don’t have any respect for Christianity as a whole, but I do for some individual Christians.
