Sanctimonious
The latest Christian evangelical movement that invaded my home, characterised by utter zeal and crusading madness, admist Joulenaeir's truculent barking at these troglodytical aliens, twisted my impression of charismatic christian groups yet again.
I attempted to be polite and tried to shoo them away amicably but they persisted in telling me that my parent's deity idols were wrong and of that sort. That got me quite upset and I blew, sending them away in bits and pieces. Surely, they would have known that was insensitive. Not that I am against Christianity on the whole nor am I a person who enbraces a specific faith like my parents, I believe these charismatic groups require more savoir-faire and shrewdness in proselytising a poor sod like me.
The manner in which they tried to propogate their dear Jesus just makes you want to drop a monumental cross on them. A lot of Christians have the warped misconception that exclusive faith in the very noble 'accept-no-substitutes' son of God would grant you a ticket gratia to "eternal orgasm" heaven. If only it were that simple...and easy...granted it may be an exceedingly facile notion....even I am tempted to believe...
As an agnostic, I quote,
"Faith is universal...but understanding it is arbitraty."
From "The Force" to the "Lets Jihad!" Islam, (Pardon the fashion I might be potraying some religions in") ,these paths inexorably leads to God. The power of God does not lie in scriptures and religious leaders; it lies in our hearts and in the choices we make in light of our religions.
The next time they (charismatic group masses) stand at my door to question about "OUR God" and start quoting inane verses from the oh! Holy! bibble which I have read over and over again, I will hang them from the nearest tree. Bunch of sanctimonious morons.
cuRRent...jer
