They have no right to call themselves Christians if they have no Chirst-like attributes. I had a vision from me old bud Jesus and he asked me to tell everyone to just stop. Stop it. You have gotten it all wrong. You have used his name to kill. Stop killing!

He hates what’s been done in his name. Jesus hates religion and he wants you all to quit it right now this second! And lay off the gay people too he said, and stop torturing, killing and eating animals.

You people are making him depressed. If you were the Prince of Peace today, how would you feel?

Then there is a second layer – people who are mostly loving and wonderful, but they just can’t stop talking religion. They’ll honor my request not to speak of it to me for a month or a few months, then suddenly they’re telling me how the End Times are coming and Satan and God and blah blah. And it’s not like I don’t make it clear to them that the End Times crap is my LEAST favorite religious topic ever, because as a Christian I was taught to scorn it as fundamentalist claptrap, so as an atheist I certainly didn’t warm up to it any.

It feels exactly the same as someone talking about my breasts after I’ve asked them not to make comments about my body. It’s violating. It’s harassment.

In my experience, there are what I would call relaxed Christians and anxious Christians. Relaxed Christians are those who joined the faith to find a better way to live, and that’s their focus (rather than their neighbor). Anxious Christians seem to me to have something to prove, and they tend to go about it the way humans usually do when they need reassurance: trying to convince others to agree with them.

Of course, this dichotomy applies to pretty much everything. Even sex – some people have sex to make themselves happy, and others have it to impress someone else or fit some mold they think they’re expected to fit. It’s just human behavior.
