To the Blind Intolerant Believers
January 27, 2010 | 04:00 PM

The principle and teachings of Christianity aren't the problem, they are great rules and guides for moral living. The problem with Christianity are the certain pastors, reverends and followers that preach hate, intolerance, anti-science, things that aren't in the Bible etc.

Examples of behaviors and concepts taught and preached to Christians that are not in the Bible or just plain wrong:
abortion is murder, intolerance towards homosexuals, not-smoking/drinking, not having tattoos, not having long hair, sex before marriage, divorce is a sin, cursing is a sin, watching porn is a sin, this is a "Christian Nation", the earth is 4000yrs old, dinosaurs were put here to test your faith, a heaven or hell as described in the Bible actually exists, the End Time/Apocalypse is now and didn't refer to the Roman Rulers at the time, you need to worship in Church, watching certain movies or listening to certain music is against God's wishes etc. It goes on and on.

Of course not all Christians believe and teach these things. What the good Christian should do is SPEAK OUT AGAINST THOSE THAT TEACH THESE INTOLERANT THINGS IN JESUS's NAME. You have a Bible right? Look up the main tenants of behavior you are being taught in the name of Jesus and then try to find them in the Bible. Believe it or not, your Pastor would mislead you too, not just Satan.

This was a rant not against Christianity, but rather a rant against the extra-curricular B.S. you are being taught to think is "Christian". It's not "Christian", it's social control and slavery imposed upon to you to retain you as members and grow the size of the church.
