Christians irk me
This isn't some inflammatory entry to dismiss all christians. This is my perspective on how most *NOT ALL* christians have a way of being overly judgemental and polietly rude.

It has been my experience that me and christians don't get along. This was true even when I was at my high point. I think what goes wrong is that I believe they are judgemental. What is my proof? I've heard others openly call homosexuals degrogatory names, that the Iraqi prisoners deserved what they got and that those who don't follow the exact rules of thier paticular denomination will likely go to hell. They have this high and mightly thing about them. They believe they genuinely have it all figured out and everyone else who doesn't agree with what they think is lost and evil. They're so fast to label everyone and everything. Its so dichotomous it makes me want to puke. *dichotomous- Divided or dividing into two sharply distinguished parts or classifications* They don't see that the line between good and evil are sometimes very blurry. Also, that they might actually be spreading the idea of evil by saying, "It's a good thing to dictate Iraq" We picked thier president. Where's the so called democracy were suppose to bring to the "terrorist". We're so nice, defending the world from evil. Pluease. America is the evil one folks. *well, our foreign policy is atleast* If we're so nice and looking to throw dictators that are threatening us, why the hell aren't we in North Korea?! Anyways, that is off point. *HEHEHEH, my poltics are showing, aren't they?* Though I do think that the christans are the enablers of this war. They clearly support bush on this.

This all isn't to say I don't believe thier concepts. I genuinely want to side with them because it gives me purpose and kaliko has basically convinced me God is there. Some are great people, like kaliko, who genuinely are trying to help and not just spreading thier various points. So, here I am with a dilema, how do I get along with people that irk the crap out of me most of the time. I am trying to be open-minded with thier ideas, but it just doesn't help me when they are not trying to see my perspective, but convince me that they have the absolute truth. I believe this is why they are losing people. They explain the process as narrowing it down to the "true" believers. I think its society having enough of people who are rigid and not loving the way they may think that they are. If you all really were doing what jesus did, you'd have mobs of people following still. Though its genearlly an American and European thing, with people joining in drones in Africa. So maybe the Western culture is taking away from christians the love thier suppose to have. That's what a success oriented society does thogh. That's all, I'm tired.
