Yeesh. It's amazing how much real life can interfere with a mostly frivolous pursuit. It's been almost a year since my last post! Apparently Christianity only raises its nasty mug around July each year. I won't let that kind of time pass again. There's far to much inanity to comment on. This post was provoked by an almost year old comment I received anonymously from one of my previous posts. I knew I'd come across these. Well-meaning christians trying to save me from myself and my semantic spiral down to hell.
Here's the thing. They might think they're being kind when they wish blessings from god for me. But I don't believe in god. So you might as well be saying, "Yoda bless you!" I don't need their blessings. They're useless to me. In fact, in a very real sense, they're useless to the world. I get that these people are genuinely concerned for me. I suppose I appreciate it, but its misplaced energy. If most of the well-meaning christians put the energy they spend praying and wishing blessings on people into actually working on the world we currently live in, I think we'd all be much better off. There are a LOT of christians praying and wishing for god to help people. What a waste of time and energy if there's no one listening!
This sums up one of my major beefs with christianity (and many other religions.) Since they consider this world transitory, simply a prep class for our eternal souls, it makes it easier for believers to ignore the pain and injustices going on around the world. And, by thinking their prayers are accomplishing something, they remove themselves from any personal responsibility to do something themselves to fix the situation. So the world goes to pot while all the well-meaning Christians are gazing skyward, waiting for the rapture.
Garbage.
