I am not the most religious person in the world, I am really not.
I went to a Catholic School growing up and know that Catholic Mass by heart but seriously, I am really not that devout. Which is why it is almost silly that I am constantly defending Christianity. But if I don't few will.
I am particularly mad at the arrogant, angry atheism I am seeing, especially from young people. Great, we get it, you don't believe. That is fine, but you are so adamant that you are correct... is in effect totally hypocritical. To be agnostic and acknowledge you don't have the answers is perfect. To be so sure you do is silly.
Couple this with the fact that we cannot say one single hurtful thing about Islam. If I dare then I am attacked for being insensitive and demeaning. Of course, radical Islam is cutting our heads off but no matter. We can mock and destroy Christianity at every pass. See Bill Maher or Rick Reilly if you don't believe me.
We can also politicize it. I might ruffle some feathers here but having a deep understanding of the Bible you cannot be an American liberal AND a Christian. They don't go together. Sorry, I said it. Yet yesterday 10 of my Facebook friends posted a video from some snarky, arrogant young kid saying his poem about Jesus being greater than religion. Seemed pretty anti-Christian to me. Acted like wars were the fault of religion, i.e. Christianity, which was silly. Further, it started with its underlying theme-that the "Republican Party" is not the party of Christians!
Which is the SINGLE DUMBEST THING I HAVE HEARD ALL WEEK!
Basically he tangled some nice, loving Jesus messages around a powerful political statement- the "Radical religious right in America is hateful and causes all the world's problems" and Jesus would be upset. This couldn't be any dumber of a statement if he designed that way! I would attach his stupid propaganda poem but I don't want it watched any more than it needs to be.
This comes in a week where I have to keep defending Tim Tebow. I don't give a hoot if you think he stinks as a quarterback-to be honest that becomes dumber the better he does. And maybe he does stink, who cares?
The question is WHY do so many hate him!?
What is to hate? He embodies everything a young athlete should be. He is the quintessential underdog and does everything with class and dignity. And those arrogant atheists I spoke of earlier hate his guts. We have NFL players getting arrested on a daily basis. We have a collection of killers, guys that run men over with cars while drunk, dog killers, felons, steroid freaks, deadbeat dads, cocaine dealers, and on and on and they ROOT for these guys! To not give Mike Vick a second chance I have been told is "ignorant" on my part. Then HATE TIM TEBOW?! On what grounds?
This country is getting me sick. The arrogant atheism is just too much. The left is doing everything and anything to destroy conservatism and I have had it. Like I said, I am not the most religious guy.
This crap is making me more so!
