Don't Forget Your Masks

Sometimes I wonder if Christians even know who God is. I mean, I hear vibe after vibe of quotes and blurbs from their guidebook called the Bible more than I hear of the God figure. There seems to be a towering emergency of making sure that the Bible is shoved into one's face, rather than showing the truth of who and what God is.

There's many a time when one wonders what reality really is; Christians are the first into the door, ready to bombard you with truths and philosophies they appear to follow. Even the ones that are honest, real and down-to-earth will tell one that they [the "non-Christian"] is in the wrong and need to be saved from hell....which is the equivalent to Hades in the Greek mythologies. There seems to be a strict view of God, in which he can only do/say things in a certain way. Let me give some examples. Let's say some guy hears the voice of God, and is ecstatic about whatever it is and the "church leaders" say its not so, due to the fact that not all of them agree...so it can't be true. Now the person that was so excited about how God had spoken to him, is confused and continually second-guessing himself for the rest of his life.

I don't understand the point to all of it. I mean, they go on day after day saying everyone must "repent of their evil ways," meaning, "tell God about everything that you've done 'wrong' and hope that he smiles at you. Examples of "wrong" for a Christian is: drinking alcohol, using drugs, having sex with someone you're not married to, the way you talk, disrespect of authority, etc. All this makes it look impossible to be "Christian," but by this time, most people don't want anything to do with it.

In experience, every time one church member greets another its all in smiles and euphemistic tones. Fact is, it is fake. In the same breath, they greet other people (whether from other church-goers or non-church-goers) they greet them in the same manner...it too is fake. They're extremely creative and skilled in masquerades and what dance moves to compose for the seduction of their prey. After their prey is coaxed in, they feed them luscious, sweet and glistening Pandora's Box beverages that eventually oozes a lethal elixir into the mind. The mind is then poisoned and no longer has control over its own self, but is now the puppet. Sort of how The Flood takes over a human body, except in a much slower process. Once the mind's completely taken over, the person goes about in chants and walk in the charted steps of the church and its belief; this is all that they know, locked in a trance of conjured philosophies. There is something definitely missing.

Another thing I've found is the guilt they make you feel if you've not gone to their particular church in, let's say, two to three Sundays in a row. They approach it in such a way that you feel obligated to tell them what transpired, otherwise there must be something going on that they think they need to help you with. If you don't accept help, then there's something wrong.

I've heard stories where, if you do something the church considers "wrong" or "not a good example to others," you must apologize to the people of the church and repent immediately (say you're sorry) to God before its too late...meaning, if you don't "repent," you'll be doomed for hell. A perfect example of this would be: if you're a staff member of the church, you must repent (say you're sorry) to God and the church-people of whatever you "did" and no longer be in a leading position in the church; apparently, one shouldn't be human and have natural human tendencies.

It's saddening. It's hurtful. It's disappointing when you find out these things. It stings especially when you discover these things the hard way. I'm confused as to why people you've held high in your book, drop away and turn against you. People you've looked up to until you've realized you bumped into them the wrong way on some random day. This sounds like a repeat of the previous entries, and it is. Mostly because there's no real way to totally envelope the immensity of this topic. I feel that I could go on and on about these things. I may continue this with the next entry or entries or however it ends up being.

Thanks for reading, ciao
