[bit.listserv.christia] bashing

     Well, this is a new one!  I'm now getting chastised for
     telling persons to stop offensive behavior, and then this
     person who is chastising actually *endorses* the offensiveness
     by saying 'he was standing up for God'.

     Well, surprise, surprise, so was I.  Jesus detested hypocrisy,
     and blind commitment to rules.  He ate and socialized with
     sinners of the worse kind, he did not say 'You must not be
     a Christian!'.  I don't remember anything in the Bible that
     Jesus says that bashing is OK.  Paul did alot of it, though.
     Jesus did not.

     The rest who replied to me personally told me of how often
     this list upsets them, causes them much more grief than its
     worth.  And no doubt, the Christian warriors will simply say
     it's because theyve sinned, and they've brought them to justice.
     Dream on.  No notch on your evangelical belt.  Your attitudes
     turn people off because there are decent people on the list,
     not ones full of Satan and all the other things you say about
     people when they don't agree with you.

     See you all later.  I've really tried.  But the bashing is too
     much for me.  The New Jerusalem Consciousness is hanging by
     my terminal, and I think that Jesus would think it's just fine
     if I tried to read it every day instead of this list.
     (happy now boys?)
