My faith is my own. It has no label.
We don't go to church, temple, or mosque. We don't 'do' organized religion. I normally don't make grand statements against other folks' religious choices and while I will make comments about particular religions, I respect people's right to have whatever faith they desire. After I was sent these though, I thought, 'Here's 12 reasons I don't participate." And they are 12 reasons why Christianity can be dangerous to the world.
Some are inappropriate or rude. Others are offensive and even dangerous. The congregants of these religious establishments should be ashamed.
Here are 12 reasons you won't find me participating in the Christian organized religious movement:
Wow. Those marques are pretty bad. I think you would find, though, that the churches that have those types of messages are a minority. I would label those as a unfair stereotype. I know that part of your blog is to be inappropriate, and a lot of times your content is really funny. I just hope that you don't really and truly think that Christians are like this, because they're not.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that these types of messages are necessarily in the majority or the minority. They just are. I know Christians who are like this and I know Christians who are not. My point, in case it was missed, is that the religion contains this attitude in its framework and that is why I do not participate.
DeleteI said nothing about not participating in my faith nor did I made any accusations toward anyone about their faith. This was my commentary on the organized religious movement called Christianity.
And here I was, ready to be offended. However, letting other people's "works" speak for themselves is very telling. I am still Christian, but organized religion gets to me sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for 'getting' my post!
DeleteI hope you do realize that some of those look photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do realize that that wasn't the point of my post. But thank you. :-)
