justaturnofthedial: zurik: hahahahahahaha tysm whoever made this Here’s what I hear when people say that: “I want the good parts of Christianity without having to deal with any of the bad. I want to hang out with my church buddies and listen to Francis Chan’s podcasts and take camping trips where we have Bible study around the campfire and talk in abstract terms about how we’re ‘on fire for the Lord,’ but I don’t want to have to think about the actual demands the Bible makes in terms of radical justice, environmental stewardship, and political resistance. I don’t feel the need to examine or answer for any of the oppressive and violent things the church has done and is doing because, when I say this, I declare that they have nothing to do with me. I want to put so much distance between myself and the reality of the world and the reality of the Christian faith, with all its history and mess and contradictions, that no one can take me seriously unless they subscribe to the same navelgazing, naive, Jesus-not-religion nonsense that I do.” damn you hit that on the head.
