When This Blows Over

I stopped believing in fairytales when I was around 8-years old, so
the salvation of my soul is the least of my worries. And, quite frankly I would
welcome being in what you believe to be in hell with all the sodomites and
thieves and “immoral” women than in your version of your fictitious “heaven”.
I actually studied theology extensively and came to my own conclusions and
my own beliefs. In reality, in my everyday life, I probably act more like your
Jesus character than the vast majority of self-proclaimed and fervent
Christians—I don’t judge, I welcome and love people of all colors,
backgrounds, and beliefs. I treat people as I wish to be treated myself, and I
actively help the poor each and every day, so, yeah, I’m all good on the morality
front, thank you very much. To me organized religion is like a man’s penis, I’m
really happy and glad that they have one, but DO NOT try and ram it down my
throat, unless I ask you to. I don’t need to apologize to “God”, (or anybody
actually) it would be a pointless endeavor anyway as I completely don’t believe
in him. So, I suggest you leave your lecturing and correcting and tone policing
for somebody who actually gives a fuck–because I genuinely give less than
zero.

For such arrogance laced with piety, I am amazed that you are not aware
that Christ isn’t Jesus’ name. It is a title such as Jesus the Christ or Christ Jesus. I
can only assume that you did more damage to your own soul with that
judgmental tirade than the author did to his with his one comment. I think
you committed more than one of the Seven Deadly Sins in this post. Worry
about yourself and leave others alone. Shame on you!

Frankly, I felt the same way as the person you were addressing above - so
tired of seeing my Lord’s name dragged through the mud - can I politely
ask what did He ever do to the article’s writer that he would talk about
Him that way? I notice no one uses Buddha’s or Krishna’s name or other
religious “icons” in such a despicable way. Just Jesus’ name. That’s
okay….in the end, He wins…King of Kings and Lord of Lords…
