You want to know what saddens me? If not then please leave this page and never return.
What saddens me is the sheer audacity and self empowerment displayed by many Christians.
While they claim to believe the bible is the only way to live your life, they repeatedly ignore its principals.
I know every man is fallible and must exhibit what Christians call "sin." However, when a quote "christian" hears of on man's struggle in life, how they can not be released from their "sin", or how they just mess up, and their only response as a "christian" is to shun, pass judgment on, belittle, and completely leave someone out in the cold on their own is the last thing a self-proclaimed "Christian" should do. It is the first thing a hypocritical "Christian" would do. Not all "Christians" are like this, but the fact is a vast majority of these "believers" are. Does it not state in the bible to reach out to those in need? Did jesus not help and preform miracles for some of the most reviled citizens of the new testament? Did he ever turn his cheek from a "sinner" when one was in need? It enrages me that most "Christians" first response is one of disgust, judgment, and oh I just can't be around you. Who are you to say that? Did you God say that when you were stuck in your sin and came to him begging to be "set free." No. So what gives you the right to do that to a fellow human? Nothing. This is the biggest reason as to why nonbelievers balked at religion and Christianity altogether. I am not perfect, no saint, and not jesus, nor do i want to be, however, when I claimed to be saved and a Christian I did all I could to live the life fully and to always acceptt and love others who did not believe the same as I, or those who were stuck in a "life of sin." Maybe some people are acting in desperation and only looking for someone to give them a little notice, interest, and care. You do not know what someone is going through or why they are acting the way the are, only the God who you claim to be all knowing would. Let me restate that I am not saying all Christians are this way, but a large majority of them are. When "sinners" see a "Christian" acting in this manner, all interest or desire in "believing" is lost. But go to church and wake up with a clean conscious and go about your life as is, sounds kind of like a catholic to me.

A bit defensive, aren't we now?
I was just saying that your about me is quite the contrary to reality/ the things you post on this blog of yours. I was simply suggesting that you change it...
Let me help you with this post:
1. The Bible, though I haven't read it, does not contain leaders - or as you put it - principals, it contains principles.
2. "Reviled" is a verb similar to scold.
3. You capitalized Christians and God every time, but you failed to do the same for Jesus... both times.
Lastly, aren't Catholics also Christians? Is there a difference? Curious.

Have you completely given up on your "God" and your "religion" then? Is this a post of how people are treating you?
Well thank you for the simple suggestion how you so elegantly stated it.
Principals/principles, fuck word when you get typing in a hurry, and you are the only person who noticed the jesus thing, You think people who devote their life to him would notice, and Catholics belong to the Christian church, Christians do not accept them or their beliefs, from what I have seen and experienced at least. Several differences between the two. And no, I believe their is a God, but far to often people claim to be on His level, and go about trying to "spread the good news" and when they find someone in opposition they respond in the exact opposite way as the bible says. I witnessed it last night.
This post was geared to toward the church, as harsh and anti-church as it may sounds, all i get from Christians is, "wow that's deep" and "you are right", or "I will try harder from now on", which is what I want them to do, wake up and do something, the same with the voters and the general public.
People treat me just fine, I know what I believe and what i don't. Thanks for the comment and literature class.
