what I find interesting is that when someone calls a Christian strange or abnormal, Christians are expected to sit back and not say anything... if we (Christians) say something, we're getting defensive.
However if Christians say something like that about non-Christians, we are judgmental and narrow-minded.
Yeah that's true. I also find it interesting that atheists can say "there is no god, why do you believe - there is no god". But if a religious person were to turn around and say "There is a God, recognise him and you will be saved" or whatever then they are told to be "preaching" and pushing their beliefs onto people.
It goes both ways. Everyone will believe what they want to and I dislike it when people from either side try to tell others what to believe or to act smug because they think they know what is right. No one does, that's the whole point.
dude, i went to this Christian place once. i think they were baptists or something, i forget what the crazy ones are called. they acted like fuckin pod people. i was scared shitless.
Ha the only time I've been scared in Church was when I went with my best friend with her family when I was staying over, and the guy - he wasn't a priest, but he was the guy giving the sermon, sorry I don't know what you call it - made people line up and would put his hand on their foreheads and said stuff in another language - latin maybe? - and people started fainting. I was only like 15. When he did it to me I just kind of fell back and pretended because I wasn't sure why people were falling. So I faked it. And then someone stood up and started screaming and it was apparently that the devil was being removed from them. After that I was glad for the boring repetition of the catholic church.
Sorry if the church I have described is anyones here, to each their own and I mean no disrespect. It was just different to what I had previously experienced and took me way by surprise. There was a lot more emphasis on the Devil than I'd ever heard before too.
