FAKE "CHRISTIANITY" IS NOT A JUSTIFIABLE EXCUSE
By: Robert T. Lee
Why would I, who once was an hard core atheist, turn from atheism to
CHRISTIANITY - the very thing I once hated with a passion? Well let me tell you
why: Although 99.9% of people who profess to be Christians are none other than
nominal professors and are therefore none other than hypocrites, somehow I am
able to see beyond that fact. I can see that God is nevertheless real, Christ is real,
His Holy Spirit is real, His word is indeed true, there are some, but very, very few
genuine, non hypocritical Christians, and our responsibility to God is REAL. If you
are an atheist, please do not make the terrible mistake of using false "christians" as
an excuse to refuse to carry out your responsibilities to God.
I recently emailed Mr Lee as to why he converted from 'Hard core atheism' to christianity
and I guess this will be my answer.
Interestingly enough, I agree with some of his claims. There are far too many hypocrites
out in the world who claim to be christians. However due to the many contradictions in
the bible, anyone would have a hard time being a true christian!
For example the bible condones slavery and some ministers even used the bible to back up
their racist views. Leviticus 25:42-46 is a fine example. Are these christians?
Hitler is perhaps one of most famous 'christian' and one which us atheists like to rub
into many a christian's nose. (Childish, I know.) He used the bible to justify his actions
on many occassions. Was he a true christian?
Perhaps we should note that Jesus said he would disown those calling him Lord if they did
not do the will of his father (Mat 7:21-23)
It's a bizarre set of rules for anyone. The bible tells you to love and forgive but yet it condones
acts of child abuse (proverbs 23:13-14), genocide (Numbers 31:17), slavery, sexism and intolerance. It's no wonder that christians 'select' the
parts that they can live with.
Final word- A TRUE christian? I doubt they really exist. For which we should all be grateful.
