The Bible and slavery

[Faith No More]

FaithNoMore, you speak of Christians doing this or that but have you ever met a Christian? My gut feeling is that you have only associated with representatives of various expressions of Christendom or man made Christianity.

Of course you would think that, because otherwise, why would I have such an opinion on Christianity? Turns out, my parents are Christian. We very rarely have religious conversations, but they never try to dress up their religion in the manner that so many Christians do.

Also, man made Christianity is all there is.

A Christian is one who follows the precepts of Christ. A Pre-Christian is one who is attracted to Christianity but unable to be one. A non-Christian simply doesn't care.

Why is it that non-Christians don't care? We can be just as kind and forgiving as the best Christian, the only difference is we don't feel the need to follow the bible to be a good person. We care, we just don't care about being labeled a follower of Christ.

Would you say an MD is someone declaring themselves a doctor? No, we would agree that an MD is able to be one. A pre-doctor or student of medicine is not able to be one yet, and a non doctor doesn't care. It is the same idea.

Except in this case, there are plenty of people walking around with "MD's" that you would dismiss because they don't meet your vision of what a "doctor" is.

Why worry about me? You have a choice. You can either blindly deny or make the efforts at self knowledge to verify. You've chosen blind denial. You've made your choice.

Perhaps the biggest fault of Christians is the belief that self-knowledge requires Christianity.
