Where are the lions when I need them?

There are two types of Christians in this world, those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus and the other 98%. The other 98% needs to shut the fuck up. You are the problem. You are the scum of the world. And if you think you're in the 2% that actually lives the life you're supposed to live I can almost guarantee you are wrong.

I've met less than a dozen true Christians in my entire life. And I've been to church quite a lot. There are no true Christians in any church. Jesus did not teach his followers to go to church. He taught them to live righteously. People who go to church do so only to try and impress others with their piety. They dress up all fancy in spite of Jesus' teachings against vanity and arrogance. True Christians want no part of such a dog & pony show.

But where the 98% utterly fail at their attempt to be Christian is in their total ignorance of the teachings they profess to follow. What part of "live and let live" do these inbred fucks not understand? Jesus did not call for you to stand outside bookstores and protest the fact they were selling fictional books about prepubescent wizards. He did not call on you to demand an end to pornography, drugs, card games, or whatever else it is you find offensive. Jesus taught people to lead by example. He taught people to live well and to leave others to live as they choose.

Psalms 1:1 warns you not to stand in the path of sinners. Yet that is precisely what the 98% do. When you are supposed to be displaying tolerance and piety you instead spew hatred and bigotry. How many people have been tortured and killed over the centuries for simply trying to live their lives according to different rules? How many? "Thou shalt not kill" is one of the ten fundamental rules of your faith. It doesn't make exceptions for abortion doctors, gays, or people with different beliefs. Yet you people are perfectly happy to kill "in god's name".

You are also not supposed to worship graven images. How many of you put up trees every December? It doesn't tell you to do that in the bible. Decorating trees was a pagan celebration of the winter solstice. For a Christian to do it is idolatry. But you don't care. You 98% are incapable of thinking for yourselves. You can't even bother to read the book you claim to follow. If you did read it you would never do half the things you do routinely.

But what annoys me most about the Christian 98% is their insistence on claiming that god is the source of morality. I am frequently questioned as to where I get my morals from since I don't worship their god. It never occurs to them that morality doesn't come from god. God is not needed to keep people in check. And the concept of god does a lousy job of keeping people in check. I have never killed anyone. I don't rob people. I find it impossible to even lie to people. And I manage all this without worrying about what god thinks about me. Conversely, there are priests in prison for killing. And a casual reading of the bible shows that god is not as opposed to killing as he claims to be. God commands people to kill on several occasions. God himself kills millions with floods and fires. God orders people to stone adulterous women and homosexuals. Is that the morality you live by? No? Then where do you get yours? What you don't realize is that only inherently bad people need an outside source of morality. Good people don't need a god in order to behave. I am a good person simply because that is the way I live. I am not good because I am trying to impress people. I am not good because I fear going to hell. But you 98% can't grasp that because you are not inherently good. You are inherently spiteful, hateful, bigoted, violent, and ignorant. So you need a strong hand to keep you in check.

Unfortunately, the hand of god just isn't strong enough. Because I look around the world and I see "Christians" doing all manner of things against the teachings of Christ. The inbred fucks at the Westboro Baptist Church are the prime example. I find it hard to comprehend just how vile and ignorant those people are. They are quite literally the lowest form of human life. Clearly, having faith in god has done nothing to make them worthwhile humans. The rest of you 98% are almost as bad. Every time you think "something needs to be done about that" you have failed as a Christian. You are called to witness, not to judge. It is not your place to judge others. Your god even tells you so. But you can't be bothered listening to him. You're too busy demanding the local porn store be shut down.

Live and let live. Or burn in the hell you claim to fear. The choice is that simple. Shut up, leave the rest of us alone.
