I've considered myself a Christian for 42 years now. Throughout my life my faith has aided me through good times and disastrous times but never once have I felt compelled to celebrate the end of the world or the suffering of billions.
So, if you pretend you are a Christian and you pretend you know the mind of God, you are an idiot.
Just so we are clear.
The best anyone can do is to look at the lessons attributed to Jesus and try to structure their life to further them. Anything else violates every Christian tenet.
And I make this guarantee; if the world ends on May 21, 2011, just about 4.5 days from now, I will buy everyone in the world a beverage of their choice. If you honestly believe the world will end in 4.5 days, let me know and make the same guarantee with me, that you will buy me a beverage of my choice.
If you pretend you have faith and are part of the folks insisting "this time, really, we mean it," then you should have zero problem agreeing to this. If you cannot, then I not only doubt you have faith, I doubt you understand what faith is.
Me, I take my faith seriously. I don't parade it in public for favors or celebrity, I don't use it as a club to disdain others, I don't flash it as passers-by to intimidate and cow them. I live my faith rather than shout it because, well, that's what Jesus did.
Folks pretending they are Christian should know who Jesus is. Since many of you pretending to be Christian apparently do not, look it up, it's in the New Testament of the Bible, the same book that contains the following passage:
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
http://bible.cc/matthew/24-36.htm
That's Jesus talking, the person Christianity is purported to be founded upon. So, who to believe, people who keep getting the end of the world date wrong or the person these same people declare is the son of God?
I believe the word you are all looking for is:
"Oops."
Not to worry, I forgive you, for you know not what you do.

| Hello Fellow Christian! Great to see you spew your views. I have a Christian thriller, The Last Degree, that touches on parts of what your spewing. Care to review? It's a thriller about New World Order, the Tribulation, and secret societies. If interested, dinatosto@sbcglobal.net and dinarae.co |
