You Might Be a Christian If
you know that you need forgiveness for…
A. Distrusting (even just a little) any person who looks or seems different
from you in any way.
B. Wishing someone crazy would use one of those millions of guns to kill
several million of those people who think that they have the right to kill others
(for protection of course) . Wouldn't that teach them a lesson? !
C. Supporting candidates for political office who would willingly stack the
Supreme Court of our land with partisans who would give special rights and
advantages to you and your friends even knowing that wouldn't be fair.
D. Yelling fire in crowded theatres just to cause trouble (like this poem) .
E. Believing the prejudices you grew up with make you an educated person
and that colleges only exist to seduce your children. Thinking is satanic!
F. Protecting crooks in your political party while condemning crooks in the
opposition party.
G. Calling folks you agree with patriots and those who disagree with you
traitors and/or whores.
H. Making a super hero out of anyone who says anything that seems to
make you look good or feel good.
I. Refusing to consider any evidence or person that seems to put your
position in jeopardy.
J. Believing that supporting our troops means a willingness to put them in
harm's way any time American business interests or ambitions in the world are
threatened because clearly it's the 1% nation's exploiters, not their lives that
are important.
K. Feeling that people who go to your church are more likely to go to heaven
than people in any other church. You are only safe if you're God's favorite.
L. Believing that you have done things that virtually guarantee you a place
in heaven. And for this reason you have no need for God's Grace. You deserve
God's love!
M. Believing that your tithes are always more than sufficient for God's
needs. Ten percent is most likely a transcriber's error anyway. It's people who
give to stupid causes (like educating losers or saving the planet) that create
all the problems.
N. Looking forward to the day when you will have the chance to help God
straighten out His own imperfections.
