No Comprende

I just do not understand why people are so far out there when it comes to belief. Why is it so bad to believe that God exists? Even worse, where does the disposition come from? I have heard many people say that Christianity is horrible because of the people that are allowed in. Isn't that passing judgment? They look at people around them and it is as if people are walking around with this Christian tattoo on their foreheads. Let us not be like the hypocrites who stand on the corners when they pray. Maybe it is this attitude that nonbelievers want to attack. Maybe it is that people are boasting about their Christianity and they go out into the world and do something dumb. Well, we all do things for selfish motives. We all fall, too. If we did not there would be no need for a savior. Ted Haggard got himself into trouble. So, that must mean that all Christians have this problem, right? No, not really. Everyone makes mistakes in this world. That is called sin. However, people make judgments based on a few. Because Ted Haggard did this, Christianity must be wrong. But, this is a false assumption. Man is never clear of all temptation until he reaches the promised land. There are some sins that are more public than others and much more apparent. However, lying is just as much a sin as sexual immorality. There is no level to sin. It does not go 2 lies = 1 sexual immorality. Ultimately, what good does not following God give you? Are there some kind of limitations placed on you when you follow God? Is it as if all your fun is gone? Is having all your indescretions really that much fun? These provide temporary "fun." Yeah, Christianity is not perfect, but it doesn't have to be. It just has to bring forth the message of Christ in the right way. The men speaking God's Word are not perfect, so it is hard to say that Christianity is perfect.
