this one intrigues me
So the random hot post link on my dashboard strikes again. I stumbled across a blog called de-Conversion. While poking around the blog, I came across this post, which made me laugh, and made me want to strangle a few of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters.
So who is a SuperChristian? Do you party less than Jesus partied? Do you picket with more passion than Jesus picketed? Do you support causes that alleviate the immorality of the world so Jesus doesn’t have to hang out with the scum of the world the next time around? Do you pray louder than Jesus prayed? Do you annoy everyone around you more than Jesus did, just so you get your just desserts? If you answered yes – you are a SuperChristian.
Sadly, I know more than a few of these people. I would argue that they’re caught in legalism, morality, and false religion, rather than biblical Christianity, but I digress.
The linked post was well written, and for me a timely reminder. I want to live a life that is “souled out”, as the blog author so hilariously said it, but also is genuinely attractive. If I’m a religious jerk for Jesus, that can’t happen.
So, to all of the religious wing-nuts that are reading this, for the love of the God you say you worship, stop giving Him, and the rest of us, a bad name.
Oh yeah, by the way, stop calling yourselves fundamentalists while your at it. It’s false advertising; there’s nothing “fun” about your fundamentalism.
