"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....
This has just got to be a joke surely? When it comes to America I'm never quite sure.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's a show of brotherly love and compassion for the suffering of mankind for ya. Freakin idiots - how the hell do they know who is gay and who is not? Do they ask them? That right there shows the world how prejudiced those christians really are.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I looked for this 'group' online and didnt find anything at all - and the broadcast does seem staged...what the hell is the onion news network? If this is a joke, it doesn't do any good at all to demean christian orgs, in fact it actually has a reverse effect in a way - someone would stoop so low as to falsly implicate someone else...terrible.
ReplyDeleteThe Onion is a very funny satire site. In my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteThey are very good at showing how silly "humans" and "civilized" society is.

I know it's "The Onion", and it's satire, but when i worked for Lester Sumrall, they got up this whole system for moving food around the world. A C-130 Hercules and an ex-USN reefer ship.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing was, the food was for distribution to Xians ONLY. Yep, they went to Angola and handed out grub to the local missionaries. Wanna guess how many "heathen" the converted with rice Krispies?
Just like "resuce" missions, you wanna sammich? they wanna hear you say "The Sinner's Prayer"
Assholes
I sure can't spell tonight, can I?
ReplyDeleteSo it's the onion. Peel the layers of stupidity off and enjoy the flavor of satire. Or not.
