I am completely amazed by how many people are against Christians because of all of the hypocrisy in the world today. Completely amazed because, once again, Christians are being persecuted for simply being a Christian.
Christians did NOT go to war and to this day do not go to war. Perhaps an imposter went to war claiming to be a Christian but a Christian did not do this. Christians do not have massively larger beautiful churches or golden statues or cups of silver to drink wine from. Christians do not proclaim what their fellow Christians should believe from multi billion dollar pulpits viewed by millions of people all over the world. Christians do not refuse to pay their taxes. In fact you might not even know a Christian if you saw one because they are difficult to see unless you watch how they act. Christians are true rebels simply by mandate of Christ not to hate anyone... very rebellious of us to take care of our neighbors rather than buy a new car... yes we are the rebels of the bunch and we were told to be this way.
Every Christian knows what the rules are and do not need to nor will they ever blindly follow a man or woman's teachings. Everything we need to know is in 4 small chapters of a book which can be found in many places all over the world. That book is called the Bible and regardless of the translation of Christs words (you know, those red words) the message is pretty much the same.
Love one another, don't kill each other, help the poor, do your best, don't judge ANYONE and do all of this quietly. Pretty much that sums it up... Oh and he seemed to really be against acknowledging a human being as anything other than a brother or sister... no Fathers that I am aware of here on Earth that did not have a hand in our own birth. He also seemed to be pretty against churches having a lot of money as the mandate was to take care of the "flock".
So.... once again Christians are being persecuted because imposters are really giving us all a bad name. I sure wish they would stop it.
