The Pseudo-Christians Living Among Us |
The Pseudo-Christians Living Among Us
____________________________________________________________________
The dream of a world under Christianity has engendered pseudo-Christians
everywhere in the world over the last two millennium.
Almost every Christian country has pseudo-Christians but America has got
more than it's fair share.
Isn't it time for all Americans to realize that these pseudo-Christians are
potentially dangerous nut cases ?

After reading all the responses I'm sure you will agree there is only One
True Christian and it is probably you.
What do you think of haggis?

I'm sorta suggesting that most folks who post as "Christians" would not have
his/her drinks paid for by Jesus.
This is sorta saying that Jesus would not recognize anyone - not one - who
calls him/her/it self whatsover a "Christian".
And this certainly includes virgins such as "JD" who claims to have been born
from a virgin male, aka a "butt baby".
Of course, sweet JD may have another "meaning" of her "birth". Such as
disproving that two males cannot have a son.
Naturally, that demonstrates that "JD" is not really feminine but "just
another" buttbaby.
But I'm sure that "she" (jd) will try to explain.

Well, to be fair, they would have to be Jewish to be Christ-like, right?

That requires specific interpretations of the bible. I'm sure not going to
try to second guess the standards of a fictional character.
This is sorta saying that Jesus would not recognize anyone - not one - who
calls him/her/it self whatsover a "Christian".
Again, that depends on the interpretation you put on the bible. Of course,
all the Christians point at the other Christians and say they won't be
recognized so I guess the intolerance is equal opportunity.

Sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel
better about himself. He is a very vengeful God. He's all *****
about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over
it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter
to him, so long as it makes us sad...God gives us life and love and
help just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can
drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears that give
God his great power.

I'll take a stab. A psudo-Christian is someone who:
- paint their face and dress alluringly, like a jezebel eventhough the
Bible condems face-painting and said women are made for the glory of
men, and they should cover themselve.
- enslave fellow human beings (salvery, Jim Crowe laws and apartheid,
revolving door of importating cheap labor then rid of them by inciting
anti-immigration sentiment) eventhough the Bible says "love thy
neighbor".
- disregard international cooperation and invade another country on
false pretext of WMD. Wrecking another country so their defense, oil
industries can receive boost in revenue. Wrecking another country and
make them pay for reconstruction as a pretence to graft oil wealth.
- toppling democracies all over the world for short sighted foreign
policy, then compromise its citizen's liberty after "foreign policy
blow-back".
Shall I continue? Thank you for this thread and an opportunity for
some introspection on anniversary of 9/11.

I disagree. Jesus gave very implicit instruction on how slaves were to be
treated in Luke 12:47. Being pro-slavery is a mark of a person who is following
the tenets of Jesus. Those opposed to slavery are "pseudo-Christians." This was
the cause of the most significant religious schism in the United States...the
separation of the Baptists. The Southern Baptist Congress was formed in 1845
because they, like Jesus, believed that slavery was part of the natural order
ordained by God and many of the Confederate governments used scriptural verses
as a justification for slavery. Even as late as 1967 in the Loving v. Virginia
case, the Virginia Supreme Court used the Bible to show that miscegenation was
against the word of God and therefore illegal.
"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he
placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his
arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he
separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix." -

Good. I'll try to summarize your points so that I'm be able to
recognize a True® Christian from a pseudo Christian.
- paint their face and dress alluringly, like a jezebel eventhough the
Bible condems face-painting and said women are made for the glory of
men, and they should cover themselve.
1. True® Christian women will wear burquas and defer to men in all
circumstances.
- enslave fellow human beings (salvery, Jim Crowe laws and apartheid,
revolving door of importating cheap labor then rid of them by inciting
anti-immigration sentiment) eventhough the Bible says "love thy
neighbor".
2. True® Christians will not recognize national borders, but will
open their hearts and homes to all. They will not take advantage of
nor discriminate against other people regardless of their race,
religion, sex, or sexual orientation except that women will defer to
men in all circumstances and are not as deserving of rights as men.
- disregard international cooperation and invade another country on
false pretext of WMD. Wrecking another country so their defense, oil
industries can receive boost in revenue. Wrecking another country and
make them pay for reconstruction as a pretence to graft oil wealth.
3. True® Christians will not wage war nor promote engaging in war or
warlike activities, nor will they engage in unethical business
practices.
- toppling democracies all over the world for short sighted foreign
policy, then compromise its citizen's liberty after "foreign policy
blow-back".
4. True® Christians will not interfere with other countries internal
policies despite any human rights abuses of that country, nor will
they support laws that deny human rights to their own citizens, except
for women who will defer to men in all circumstances and are not as
deserving of rights as men.
Have I summarized your points correctly?
Shall I continue? Thank you for this thread and an opportunity for
some introspection on anniversary of 9/11.
Certainly, you may continue if you wish. I'm unsure if the above is a
comprehensive list. I've asked the question for years, but I've never
gotten a consensus of the traits of a True® Christian. I would like a
definitive answer if one could be achieved.

If you want reasonable numbers of people to understand you, I
suggest that you say exactly what you mean by the terms
'Christians' and 'pseodo-Christians'. It may seem obvious to you,
but remember that those who you call pseudo-Christians, call
themselves Christians. And maybe they would call you a
pseudo-Christan?
In fact, for all I know, you might actually be one of them :)
