What Christians Are Not Responsible For.

Christians get a bad rap in a Secular world. It's time we had a voice in society too.

It has come to my attention that some individuals actually believe that the born again Christians are the ones responsible for the mad-man who shot and killed little Amish girls recently. Excuse me?! Did you hear that correctly? Yes, you did. Apparently it has been decided somewhere along the line that all born again Christians are involved with the NRA (National Rifle Association) and therefore, if we support gun use, then we caused that horrible tragedy to take place. The truth cannot possible be any more different from the fantasy. I'm a born again Christian and I do not condone gun use, in fact, I find it difficult to even handle a rifle and the mere sight of a hand-gun gives me the creeps.

But since I'm a Christian, I must be a child killer. Oh yeah, I like that. That is hypocracy at its finest. The people doing all the school killings do so because they hate Christians, and God and all that He stands for. They do not do it because they are Christians and proud members of the NRA. I personally do not even know any born again Christians who are members of that particular group, although I do know some non-Christians who are members. Huh. That's odd, kind of puts a bullet through that particular theory, doesn't it? Christians are not responsible for every bad move, bad decision, hate crime, or terrorist invasion that has ever hit planet Earth.

But we are always made out to be the bad guys, aren't we? Christians think they have all the moral values and imperatives, right? Wrong. Christians follow the Word of God as much as we can, but we are all human and therefore, imperfect. We make mistakes, and if at times, our morals aren't up to God's snuff, well, that is for us to repent before the throne of God. That mistake is not for others to judge, nor is it up to the Christians to judge anyone else. But we Christians are certainly made out to be the judges of the world, that's for sure. Everyone thinks we are the group that will always cast the first stone, when in reality, we are the group that never picked up the stone in the first place.

Christians are not responsible for national tragedies. Take George W. Bush, for example. That man gets blamed for every single bad thing that happens on this planet. If a hurricane wipes out a city, it's all his fault. If a Tsunami strikes an island and kills a lot of people, blame George. If people get E. Coli from eating bad spinach, that's Bush's fault. Apparently the people eating the spinach are not smart enough to tell by the taste of their vegetables whether they are good or not. But why blame themselves when they can blame the incumbent Republican. Personally, I hate the taste of spinach, so I don't eat it anyway, but I don't blame Bill and Hilary every time I get a rotten tomato, or a bad carrot.

George Bush must be one heck of a talented guy! He's capable of controlling the weather and using it for evil, he manipulates the tectonic plates under our feet to create devastating earthquakes just to kill and maim and frighten people that he hates, which is everybody. He even poisons our drinking water and our food. Wow! What an evil man! No wonder all the democrats want him impeached. To blame one man for so many things that no man has any control over is not only stupid, it's ridiculous. I think the next time I get bitten by a mosquito, or cut my finger or some other painful thing happens, I'll call up the news media and blame it all on Wild Bill. Hey, that makes just as much sense.

All of this Christian mud-slinging is getting really old, and senseless. We have never hurt anyone, we don't go out murdering, raping, stealing, conniving, hating, or any of the other currently popular evils. All Christians want to do is have an equal say in this world, and that's where the secular society feels it must draw the line, even if it has to make up all the dirt out of the wild blue yonder. Secularists think that Christians should be pegged as child molesters, gun freaks, control freaks, terrorists, idiots, and lunatics, because they think that if the world thinks of us in those ways, it will shut us up so we have no possible way to defend ourselves.

But it is not as simple as that. Christians are actually in the majority of the population of the United States, and we don't like what the minority population (Secularists) are saying about us. We have rights too, whether anyone likes that or not, and we are coming to understand those rights more and more these days. Take the so-called "Separation of church and state" for example. That was a bunch of nonsense created by Secularists to control Christians in every way possible. They tried to keep us in the dark about the fact that such a wall of separation does not even exist in the constitution. It is actually unconstitutional, and therefore, illegal, to prevent a Christian from practicing his or her chosen faith in public. Just as it is illegal to prevent a Jew from holding Jewish services in public, and just like it is illegal to prevent a Moslem from Islamic worship in public.
