Are Christians really the problem?

Jump to Comments

Recently on another blog, an individual suggested that Christians should try to see themselves as being the real problem with society. I really thought about this… really. I wanted to review two of the higher revelations that I acquired during this experience. Remember there are many more issues than these, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

First, in the area of health, I noticed several problems with Christians. I want to share one of the more severe issues. STDs have long been the surprise at the end of a night of physical enjoyment for so many people. After getting an STD many face a moral decision. Should they continue their escapades of enjoyment at the risk of their next unsuspecting partner? Can you imagine the stress this puts on a person? May I offer an observation. Christians are to blame for this worry! You see Christians teach that you should NOT have sex outside of a heterosexual marriage. They even deny you the right to sleep around with your high school sweethearts. Think about this, if Christians would ease up everyone would get STDs. When everybody’s got it, you don’t have to worry or feel guilty about passing on that “itch” for love. Matter of fact if the Christians would just shut up, the schools would teach our kids how to have sex at an even earlier age so they can have fear free sex for at least a few years before these diseases get the best of them. Its common sense people… no Christians… no worries!

Next, I want to explore the issue of low self-esteem in children. My heart is broken over the amount of low self esteem in the world. Yet it seems to me that Christianity is the real problem. Everyday young girls must face low self esteem because their Christian parents make them dress in a modest fashion. Everyone knows that when a girl of 11 or 12 dresses like a whore they feel better about themselves. Christian parents daily deny this right of passage. In addition they place unreasonable expectations on these girls. Curfews, monitored dates, conferences with the boy and his parents, and refusal to get them birth control add to their low self esteem. This type of oppression is typical of the harm Christian parents press on their children. This blog would be incomplete without mentioning the terror that Christian parents inflict on their sons. Christians actually believe the Bible’s teaching that a person should work if they expect to eat. Everywhere young boys have to take out the trash, mow the lawn, paint the carport, and do the same for their grandparents! On top of this some of them have to get jobs and pay for their own clothes and transportation, rarely is anything left for alcohol and drugs. Can you imagine if everybody followed these rules? Everyone who worked for the welfare department would lose their jobs!!! Christians have no compassion!!! In addition, Christian children constantly face the problem that they have no time to go out and rebel against society and its rules. They haven’t even the time to hook up and experience their first STD! These parents further harm their children by taking them to church and teaching them about Jesus who died for them. To make things worse, the kids constantly hear from adults that they are loved. Can you really feel good about yourself when you are told by an adult that they love you? Plus they are expected to hear this junk every night because Christian parents are never too drunk to pay attention. The next thing you know these kids grow up to become the same kind of terrorist that they lived with for so long. Then they have children and spouses to think about. Their low self esteem as children moves into adulthood since they are not free to have multiple affairs with other people. They don’t get drunk and rarely lose their jobs for laziness, poor attitudes, or dishonesty. Where’s the excitement in that kind of life? Can you imagine NEVER experiencing the thrill of laying drunk in someone’s apartment while your kids and spouse are at home wondering where you are or if you are coming back?

I am glad that society has finally realized that suicide bombers, child molesters, drunks, perverts, liars, theives, the lazy, the uncaring, and the irresponsible aren’t the real problem makers… Its those fundamental Christians!!!!

Even with this realization I cannot break my connection with Christ Jesus. So, I am resigned to preach the Word of God, pray to the God of the Word, follow the Bible to the end, and live with the saints in heaven for eternity. I will not give in to sin and I will teach my children to resist the devil. I won’t let them experience the freedom of ruining their lives, because I care too much. I will let them make everyday mistakes, but I will also let them suffer the consequences. They will learn to “pull their own weight” by carrying rocks, digging holes, painting the carport, working for the elderly for free, and attending to the needs of the church. I will be there right beside them through it all. When the world is crashing around them, they will have each other, and the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Father in heaven. In the end we will all share the glories of heaven while remembering the joy of living a clean, holy, submitted, chaste, and modest life. If you have a problem with that then you can sue, slander, shout, suppress, shoot, and slaughter. It makes no difference for I will never compromise. I will never stop… I am a Christian!
