Answer Me This?

This was a status posted by my aunt, and it's dumb enough on it's own. (In my opinion) The comment underneath is what makes this a special kind of stupid.

If Jesus is the answer for everyone, then why are their plenty of happy Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Deists, Atheists, and Wiccans?

It's this kind of nonthinking that is troublesome to those of us who are not under Christianity's magical spell. Understand?

If Jesus is the answer for all things, then why is the answer to the equation "2+2" FOUR? Why isn't it "Jesus"? Why hasn't Jesus answered things like... how to eradicate cancer from the planet, or why it's impossible to travel at the speed of light? The answer to both of these things is not Jesus.

Saying things like this might sound so wise to the people suffering from the same cult mentality that you are experiencing, but to the rest of the world, it just sounds like you are the dumbest person that ever lived.

The world doesn't belong to you, it doesn't revolve around you, and it doesn't agree with you.

Why do you think it does?
Oh, wait.. let me guess... Jesus!

Right?

I wanted to, but my aunt and I have been through it before, and have agreed to disagree. she is the only one of my many aunts that I will be friends with on Facebook. Its mainly because after a really long and intense argument between us she deleted me saying "I don't want to know someone who does not know Jesus."

I accepted that, and continued to survive somehow. several days later she sent me a message apologizing to me for condemning me for my non-belief and went on to say that despite being an atheist, she thinks I'm a good person at heart. we made a pact to never comment on each other's statuses in disagreement.

I have forgiven her. she sees now that an athiest is capable of forgiveness, and we have a mutual respect for one another now.

besides, there's just no point. I have tried, so I know.

Pretty ironic on her part, since nobody knows Jesus. It's like telling someone, "I don't want to know anyone who doesn't know Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"Jesus is the answer to all"

Why won't my car start?

!!!JESUS!!!

Where are the house keys?

!!!JESUS!!!

What is my work schedule for today?

!!!JESUS!!!

What is that horrible smell coming from under the house?

!!!JESUS!!!

Guess he isn't the answer to all, is he?

Except for maybe the last one.

Personally, I don't want to know anyone who doesn't know and recognize Thor.

See, I feel I know him and have an intensely personal relationship with him. Y'all couldn't know about this, as it usually plays out on the back of my eyelids. And by "know," I mean it in the Biblical sense.

Maybe that's what she meant?

Essentially it comes right down to "JUST YOU AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE OR DISBELIEVE"

meh Dodgy Why should anyone's belief be of concern to you Aleia?? No one will give you any kudos or prizes for worrying about others to the point of sacrificing your own development. NO ONE!! Devil
