Ph: Faith: Humour: You Might Be A Christian If... Poem by Brian Johnston

you know that you need forgiveness for…

A. Distrusting (even just a little) any person who looks or seems different from you in any way.
B. Wishing someone crazy would use one of those millions of guns to kill several million of those people who think that they have the right to kill others (for protection of course) . Wouldn't that teach them a lesson? !
C. Supporting candidates for political office who would willingly stack the Supreme Court of our land with partisans who would give special rights and advantages to you and your friends even knowing that wouldn't be fair.
D. Yelling fire in crowded theatres just to cause trouble (like this poem) .
E. Believing the prejudices you grew up with make you an educated person and that colleges only exist to seduce your children. Thinking is satanic!
F. Protecting crooks in your political party while condemning crooks in the opposition party.
G. Calling folks you agree with patriots and those who disagree with you traitors and/or whores.
H. Making a super hero out of anyone who says anything that seems to make you look good or feel good.
I. Refusing to consider any evidence or person that seems to put your position in jeopardy.
J. Believing that supporting our troops means a willingness to put them in harm's way any time American business interests or ambitions in the world are threatened because clearly it's the 1% nation's exploiters, not their lives that are important.
K. Feeling that people who go to your church are more likely to go to heaven than people in any other church. You are only safe if you're God's favorite.
L. Believing that you have done things that virtually guarantee you a place in heaven. And for this reason you have no need for God's Grace. You deserve God's love!
M. Believing that your tithes are always more than sufficient for God's needs. Ten percent is most likely a transcriber's error anyway. It's people who give to stupid causes (like educating losers or saving the planet) that create all the problems.
N. Looking forward to the day when you will have the chance to help God straighten out His own imperfections.
