Apparently Pat Robertson, the leader of Christian Coalition and a well-known tele-vengelical in the United States, decided that assassinating the president of Venezuela would be the right thing to do.
WTF!!!
This is what’s wrong with Christianity in America. Many political messages, like the one confessed by Pat Robertson, are embedded into religious events and rituals. Worst yet, his 700 Club organization gets televised to millions of Christians who are tuned in to his programming also get their minds brainwashed. I wonder why the Christian Coalition is not considered a cult and be investigated by the FBI.
Speaking of the Evangelical Christians, it plays a huge role in the past few presidential elections in America. It’s one thing to preach the gospels of Jesus Christ, but it’s quite something else to misinterpret the Bible (which can be so easily done and is done on a daily basis) to millions who put their spiritual lives in its literal (and interpreted) messages. Brian really has big issues with religion in general. But I really have an issue with Christianity and its in-your-face preaching methods in the United States. There are also other non-sense messages preached by the Christians in general. But I won’t get into that here. I believe a good majority of those who are Christians are good people. But it’s really those who are jack asses ruin its image as a religion for me.
Here’s a typical conversation I’d have with a Christian:
Christian: “Only believing in Jesus Christ the Savior can save your soul; this is the only way to be saved on the Judgement Day.”
ME: “What about bypassing Jesus Christ and believing in God directly?”
Christian: “Can’t do. You have to believe in Jesus Christ. He died for you. Only believing in him can bring you salvation.”
ME: “So only Jesus Christ can save my soul? What happens to those who never knew of his existence? Someone out in some remote location out in the wild?”
Christian: “He’d go to Hell. He can’t be saved.”
ME: “But how can God or Jesus blame that person for not having been told about Jesus Christ?”
Christian: “It doesn’t matter. He’s going to Hell.”
ME: “That’s not right. Shouldn’t believing in God be enough? God is bigger and mightier than Jesus, no? He’s Jesus’ father! That’s not enough?”
Christian: “Doesn’t matter. He’s going to Hell.”
ME: “What about someone born before Jesus Christ?”
Christian: “That’s too bad. He’s going to Hell.”
ME: “WTF! That’s nonsense!”
Christian: “You are going to Hell.”
