Christian love in action
Do I dare criticize a fellow Christian, someone I don't even know? Yes, I do for she did it to me and I'm not in a turn the other cheek kind of mood. Here is the usual warning: I am by no means a good Christian and don't look at me as a good example of Christianity or anything else for that matter.
Because I don't go to church, I called a prayer line...I do believe in the power of prayer, there is that much Christianity left in my soul's nature.
This gal on the phone launched into a tirade about me needing to go to church whether I felt like it or not (she dismissed problems with severe depression and anxiety and focused on how it was my fault...Me and the devil) and I should not be needy at church because it puts people off.
At that point (having to talk over her since she wouldn't fucking shut up...Like she was on some false Holy Spirit High) I talked over her saying that I was a mature Christian and I really didn't need false advice. Then I hung up and cried.
This isn't the first time...I might even consider I have the problems that other Christians accuse me of except that I am popular, well-loved and successful in other areas of my life. It's just these damn Christians. Maybe it's easier to blame the outsider than to really look in their hearts and examine their own corrupt nature.
Christianity is not, in general, a collection of grateful people, humbled by Christ's love and salvation. Christianity has been replaced by the Christian club which is a lot like the high school social scene and just as mature.
