Biblical Proportions

Who wants peace?

Apparently not Christians or Atheists and very few that fall in between.

Lately, I've seen a lot of Christian bashing. For a long time, I've seen a lot of non-Christian bashing. Ladies! Ladies...please. Go back to your corners and let's think this through.


Christians, let's start with you. A lot of you have been rude, snobby, and pushy. Is that really a way to bring people to Christ? I worked at a horrible little office store once (I'll refrain from saying the name of the place with the "easy" button) and the worst customers I had were pastors. A younger couple, a pastor and his wife, who couldn't afford to return my smile or be understanding when we didn't have what they were looking for made my rude list. There was also a priest who looked like someone had peed in his oatmeal but he still ate it. From protesting protestants who thinks they should have a political voice to the bullying baptists who would sooner step over a bleeding drug addict than to actually help get them clean; Christianity embraces its failure to be Christian as if it were a badge of honor sometimes. I speak not of the Christians who make mistakes, we all do that...or even those who are trying to find their way. I'm talking about those that walk around as if they've been elected President of Heaven because they go to church 2 or 3 times a week.

Now, Atheist...your turn. You have EVERY right to go with your left brain and deny there is a God because you have not have enough proof to convince you otherwise. Supernatural affairs are supernatural because regular science does not fit. But just as they cannot prove there is a God, you cannot prove there isn't one. Sure, I get it. The bible is a roller coaster of conflicts and contradictions. The miracles stated inside have not proven to exist today. But where do you get off trying to destroy what others use to get through this difficult life? Scrubs had a marvelous episode where the nurse...oh, hell...see it for yourself...

You're not different than the pushy Christians. Yes, you might feel oppressed and condemned, but even if you don't believe in God...you should believe in love. The things that come with love are patience and understanding...acceptance. The same things you want. Get over yourselves and stop trying to prove your intellect to the rest of the world.

Peace...you just have to want it more than you want to be right.

Review: Shut up and hug it out. Neither side is doing anything to hurt the other side and if you are, then stop it. If you're the one being hurt, say something about the hurt but leave the personal beliefs out of it. Because none of us knows anything FOR CERTAIN, so all of us could be wrong.
