"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
Will the madness ever end.....
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Jesus on a coprolite or fossilized feci?
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me, that most of the people who see pictures of Jesus in stains on coffee cups and grilled cheese sandwiches, etc., are also the same folks who come to this country and live here all their lives without ever acquiring an adequate command of the English language! There seems to be some correlation here.
ReplyDeleteDan (Who thinks that Catholic priests, cardinals, and popes should be embarrassed every time the put on their funny clothes and pretend to be doing the work of the lord)
Oh, Sweet Jeebus on a Trailer Hitch!

ReplyDeleteTHAT'S why there are no more miracles of the feed the 5,000 or heal the sic like you know, when Jesus was on earth! He's too busy making guest appearances on tortilla chips or the windscreens of vehicles or on walls! You can't expect him to answer a desperate mother's prayer for her child when he's working on burning his image on some inanimate surface for the wonder of the believer!
ReplyDeleteI have a mole that looks like Jesus.

This a good explanation of the phenomenon - http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/lenin.html
ReplyDeleteThis stuff always boggles my mind... They take this stuff to be a sign that their religion is true. Given that premise, who the hell in their right mind would follow a god who's best idea is to manifest himself on a yam in Akron, Ohio?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the thought process here? Does Jesus actually sit there and think "Hmmm... I'd like to give 'em hope, should I appear 100 feet tall in downtown Chicago and tell them all is well, or wait 'til some kids spills the Cheetos and arrange them to resemble me?" With management like that, no wonder the world is screwed up, lol.
This is the 21st century baby, give us bigass widescreen miracles in THX Dolby surround sound!
