Delusion of Christians in their perception to the world

One thing that never siezes to amaze me is the way christians seem to be so ignorant to what is really happening in the world.

There always seems to be some biblical answer to everything, if there is not, we need to just have faith in God that he knows best and does everything for a reason.

They have created such an illusion in everything that they seem to always "praise God" for anything that happens. For christians God is the reason everything happens. Yet when something bad happens ,it was not God's will.

I have tried going back to church a few times but I am so tired of the whole "dreamy, head high up in the clouds" attitude.

After leaving the church , I went into some really dark places and I am happy to say that my eyes were opened to a whole other world that is completely different to what christians percieve it to be.

I am also tired of how christians preach as though they know exactly what the world is. Yet most of these people I have found in church have never really experienced anything in the world that would make their conversion and lifestyle anything significant.

"I was a sinner" , "I was lost" "without God there would be no point in living" are a few statements made. Yet when you query their lifestyle before they were christian, they were not much different.

I am not saying all christians are the same. Some of them have been raped, molested, been involved in drugs, drinking, anything you would like to conjure up. I do not see any reason in which a faith in God can be bad if it helps as a crutch and has made their lives for the better.

I look of websites and upcoming events in south africa and I see all these "life changing" conferences coming up. There us this "Passion" tour coming in South africa. When I was still in my youth group I remember these events had the same tags! "Life changing","Revival", they all had a "vision" that they were going to carry out for God.

For the past 8 years I have heard the word revival so many times it has become redundant. "Now is the time for revival", yeah, they said that 2 years ago. They are so convinced that God is moving in the world, gees, from my side I see it getting worse!

If you really look at the church, as I have seen in the past few years, all that happens is that people come and go. The numbers stay the same. One person leaves, another one joins. Give him a few months and he will also leave.

I was crying revival 5 years ago when everyone was convinced there was a huge movement of the Holy Spirit and the whole area was going to experience it! People were crying revival and change when the movie "The passion of Christ" came out. I remember people on the TV were telling us how the movie was going to change the world.

Carry on.... Carry on babbling in tongues, carry on convincing yourself that the Holy Spirit is moving. Carry on in your belief that the whole world is lost without you. Carry on in your belief that the world is hurting.

Carry on in your delusion that you are usefull to this world, because you have become so self centred in your opinions and so segregated from the world, there is really no use for you anymore. I dont think the world would notice if you disappeared. You were never there anyway!


Carry on....

Dear Mark

No man can convince you of the Truth - you are blinded by the darkness. Soon, God will speak to you. At your very lowest point, at your point of greatest failure, God will reveal His Love to you. Then, it is still in your mortal, dusty hands as to whether you persist in your blindness or choose to repent and believe just how much God loves you. And on a lighter note, your spelling is atrocious! If you think Christians have a poor world view, then your spelling indicates a complete lack of retention of all the books you have been reading about the world! (Sorry if that was below the belt, but someone had to knock you off your pedestal!)

Shut up anonymous...your babbling actualy shows the level of your Ignorance..
P.S. Mark pal your not the only Christian/non-christian type who doesnt want to asociate himself at times with Christians who are a bit odd ball in a way, and dont have a good grasp of reality... But It doesnt excuse denying God in any form... If you have a problem with people take it out on people, if you have a problem with God take it out on God...Dont mix and mingle the two they are very different in every way.. God for one can spell...Me..I cant... So ya..mmm... But ye....Keep searching for your answers mate, Im sure that God will give em to you..
