Jesus Jumping Jehosephat! Can't these self identified christians at least read the new testament, the Beatitudes for certain, and try to sound a bit like a Real Christian??? And, yes, God, you get the biggest AMEN!!! I can write!

Or at the very least watch Jesus and learn? We call ourselves Christian because we follow Jesus, not because we mis-read the Greek text of John 3:16, are saved, one and done.

Of course, the other end of that is that we ourselves become just as judgmental responding like this. Compassion, grace, mercy, forgiveness…to give as we have been given. Sigh, ‘‘tis a much harder following Jesus than our own self righteousness, yes?

Every time I hear someone proclaiming "I'm a Christian!" I want to say "Yes? So why aren't you acting like one?"

NOBODY should have to state "I'm a Christian!" Show me by your acts, or you a liar. My 93 yo "evangelical" mother is like this. And likes to tell you what you're doing wrong, and she'll pray for you! Pretty sure God and Jesus haven't actually heard much from her.

Amen Jesus. And If Heaven does exist, the path we take on Earth just might take us there. All those Christians would be wise to remember that.

Amen. Awomen.

It’s not even 2025 and I’m weary of TFG!

I wonder if someone will put me in a drug induced coma for four years?

I fear this may last a lot longer than 4 years. Even if he doesn’t make it that long, the people empowering him won’t let go of the power they now have.

I worked in the infant/toddler nursery of a church for many years. The congregation was great. No one asked about my beliefs or lack thereof. The church's core beliefs focused on inclusivity, social service, and justice. They also knew the babies were in safe and loving hands with me. My co-worker, Brenda, was a prime example of what Christians say they are but they are not. She was one of the most kind, thoughtful, and loving people I've ever had the privilege to know. We had long talks about our different views on religion. I can think of only three other people who I can say were truly Christian in their actions. It makes me sick to see these pretend Christians try to bully and demean the rest of us. Brenda died of cancer in April of 2023. I was so angry because she was taken and some of the cruelest people around, these "Christian Nationals" don't suffer. Rahmen from this atheist.

Amen, thank you Jesus.

Jesus! I wish there was a church that actually preached like you speak and recognized non-Christian bullshit. I would go every week, and twice on Sunday!

Brenda, when I was checking out Christianity a long time ago, I found a church like that. The people were great, they served the poor in their community, and they were tolerant of all the differences among their fellow humans. I became friends with some, even though Christianity was not for me. Many years later, they remember to keep in touch with me, which I find to be very kind.

Try the Unitarian Universalist church. We are non-dogmatic and non-credal

I think I will visit. We have a very active and vibrant group in my city. Thanks for mentioning them!

These so-called Christians who smack you around with their piety make me sick. Matthew 25:34-40 has obviously fallen out of their bibles.

Good evening JFC.

Good post.

That guy is a POS. I had not seen him until now. People who get defensive when they think they have been insulted before they actually have, are, well, a POS.

I am not a Christian but I certainly don't get pre-insulted if someone offers up their Christian beliefs. Everyone has their own unique take on spirituality.

Been surfing lately? Haven't heard you mention it for awhile.

Oh yeah thanks.
