Why Christians Suck...

I am sure, on many counts, we do. As do many, many things, in all fairness. For starters, the world, and life, just ain't fair. The good die young and we are left with assholes for company. People who need money, can't ever find enough of it; those with time on their hands have no idea what to do with it. Toast always lands on the side that's buttered, etc.

But back to Christians. Irking the world with silly notions and unwanted good intentions; always talking about salvation, thanking an unseen God for everything, always trying to convert people to Christ who is not even older than Buddha, have no respect for tradition (most offensively, at the refusal to partake in traditional funeral rites)...

I shall not explain everything at one go; the virtue of brevity is, after all, that it is relatively painless. But primarily, Christians suck because the world would not let us be. Christians (and here, I am generalising -- there are just so many types) have an other-worldly mindset. We do not fixate on this life, but the next. We believe in the resurrection of the dead; in an ever living God who walked on earth as a man, and once, exchanged His life for ours. Much of this does not make sense. It might even seem mad, the fairy tale of idiots. But that is our liberty. The point is, such a perspective, from believing what we believe, will naturally manifest itself in acts and words that seem 'weird'.

As a liberal myself, I would ask that for those who have already concluded that Christianity is foolishness, to let us be. But for those who are curious enough, that seemingly reasonable and sane people should espouse the abovementioned views, I shall try my best to explain. At worst, you shall gain an amusing bar room anecdote to share. At best, might one not hope to be utterly blessed.
