Brain hurts now

Reading Chick Tracts can be amusing. Reading the articles on D&D that they have up on the site however . . .

It's sad when I'm a better Christian than most people who call themselves Christian are. It really is. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, shelter the needy. It's even sadder when the character that I'm going to be playing this weekend is a better Christian than most.

Y'know, the cleric of sun, moon, and stars that loves without condition, heals, comforts, tithes to churches that aid the needy, forgives, and who spends much more time practicing her beliefs than preaching them.

But, in the popular 'Christian' worldview she also pays homage to more than one god, has a female lover, and is a sorcerer in addition to being a cleric. In the popular 'Christian' worldview, I am pagan, bisexual, and have two husbands.

-sigh- My polypantheistic D&D cleric3/sorcerer4/mystic wanderer2 should not be a better Christian than the outspoken majority of Christianity. Okay? The fact that she is means that there's a real problem here, folks.

Why is it that people who know the least, know it the loudest?

Sometimes I wonder if there really aren't all that many Christian fanatical, bible thumpers out there. It's just that the ones that are have to be so loud, they overpower the good Christians. I've met quite a few good Christians in my day, but they have always been soft spoken and very kind. Unfortuneatley, it's the loud, rude ones I remember the most, because a negative impression seems to last longer.

there aren't all that many of them, no. for the most part, the majority of people sitting under the "christian" umbrella are apathetic toward God anyway. most people don't even care. they might jump on the "let's be narrowminded and backward" bandwagon, completely ignoring everything that Jesus taught and anything that's actually in the Bible. like that whole thing about getting along and loving each other as you love yourself and as you love God. it's the loud, rude, negative ones that make me want to hide under a rock and wish the world would just end. is it any wonder i wanted to hide my beliefs from people? i knew i'd be associated with those people. even those who knew me would forget what kind of person i am and upon hearing the word "christian" might change their entire view of me.

i still think i'm among those who know the least, but at least i will readily admit that i don't know. i don't have any answers. i'm clueless. i try not to know it too loudly. don't know how well i succeed, but i do try.
