When “Christianholics” Keep Trying To Spread Their Disease
Drunk on their own ignorance and religious dogma, some people just cannot help themselves.
If you’re like many (if not most) who have left the Church either recently or in the past decade or so, you still have that friend or family member who seems to have made it their personal mission in life NOT to understand why you left.
Every now and then this person sends you a text, a private message, or an email asking you to read some tract (Christian “witnessing” pamphlet), or passages, or even a whole book from the Bible. As if that simple read will somehow miraculously open the angelic Heavens, erase all of the knowledge we’ve learned through years of deep study; heal all the pain and ill-will we’ve experienced first-hand; and miraculously CHANGE us to the point where we want to return to the taverns of what the Church is; and perhaps more specifically what the people in the Church, are really all about—which is quite frankly all about themselves.
No, to these people who are drunk on their own ignorance and the dogma of their pet denomination’s current holiday sermonizing, WE left Jesus and abandoned God because “Satan has somehow ensnared us with smooth lies” and other such nonsensical drivel.
But now lit on fire by the Church’s holy “spirits”, these friends or family now “reach out” to us with sincere dire warnings and their god’s (conditional) love if we would just come back into the fold of Jesus’ bloody Human sacrifice that (somehow) forgives all of us of our sins—but only if you “believe in” what the Church is drinking.
Conversations With A Drunk
These conversations when they show up out of the blue, are often awkward and embarrassing—not to the drunk so much, but to us as we scratch our head wondering, “Have you even bothered to talk to me and understand why I really left the Church?”
They haven’t. They’re too busy pontificating.
Even with close family members, they only want to know when you are coming back to drink with them again. Not why you left. Not what happened to make you kick the dust from your shoes as you left. They don’t care about and don’t want to know what you learned that made you leave.
