Reply #40: I'm out to get you! [View All]

Wow, I'm going to come and kill you and your family? Because I believe in something? It's my view that belief is intrinsic. Please tell me how you can function without believing anything? It's a circular argument, do you believe that you do not believe? We can ride that merry-go-round for hours. That's almost as bad as defining peace.

Authentic Christianity is really very simple, it is the daily struggle to model and exhibit the likeness of Christ. I don't worship a created image, I worship a person, a creator. That is not disrespect, it is the outward sign of my faith. Oh, yes, I do believe in changing the world, but I (like Christ) choose to change it through relationships, family, and friends. One at a time, it's called discipleship. So if I do show up at your door, it will not be to kill you or your family, it will be for coffee and a nice chat. We all have questions, I have tons of questions. We can sit around and debate the questions for eternity, but at some point a step must be taken. There are answers somewhere. Christianity allows me to step into the void without fear. If that makes me insane, then that's ok. I crave an ideal, it gives me something to move towards. But you don't have to worry about me killing anybody. And also never forget: Semper Ubi Sub Ubi.
