People will always find a way to turn the rules to suit their needs, or more accurately their wants. I imagine every one of us does it to some degree but none with such frightening, global consequences as the Christians.
"Christians"
It's such a convenient label. It allows them to justify almost anything in the name of their god.
There's a band I like. They wrote a song a while back called "Fearless Leader" which wasn't exactly a piece of work of any magnitude, but I loved the idea behind it. Part of the lyrics:
"Jesus was a hippie, peace and love were all he was about.
That's why they killed him, cuz that shits something people can't figure out.
Now the ones who worship him are the ones who would have cheered
at the crucifixion.
They've got no conviction, it doesn't matter if the man was fact or fiction..."
And they cover an old old hippie song with the chorus:
"Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end..."
Christians scare me.
Is it okay if I link to it, is it a public entry?
Anyway, this might take me the rest of my life. :)
