The Great Depression No One Talks About

You were going on about ringo not taking a leap of faith in your discussion. He doesn't believe in this leap of faith you say is so necessary.Now is your time to lead. Show us what such a leap of faith would look like. Sell your properties and possessions and take ThugPreachea to the other side of the tracks to witness the word to the struggling poor.If you are a follower of Jesus then you have no reason not to. Leap with the faith that your god will provide for your needs.That's a tall order for anyone. Still want to be a christian?Realize if you can't do it then you cannot ask anyone else to be christian either.

The challenge, the temptation, is not coming from me.It is coming from the tenets of your own religion.Like a Buddhist monk challenged to seek enlightenment you keep trying and praying to be christian but you just can't seem to levitate. Butt will just not leave the floor.Phat The Flying Monk^TM is not going to happen. Your christian ideal is unrealistic, an exaggeration of a false reality and cannot be reached. And if reached, cannot be maintained as a social norm. The christianity you and your brethren seek is not compatible with H. Sapiens.OK, so the ideal is out of reach. You still have something to strive for.Except, this case, divesting of all and walking the pauper's path in the glory of your god, is an example of false christian expectations. You cannot claim your seat in the choir by doing so because you realistically cannot do so. The expectation is not achievable. It is a false tenet. A lie.What other tenets of your faith are false, unobtainable? The promise of forever? Life after death? Infinite love, compassion and mercy? The resurrection?Those other leaps of faith are easy to make. They don't cost you anything to believe. But where do those expectations come from?While examining the reality of the one tenet, Phat, there are several more for you to look at with the same critical eye.Almost there, Phat. Come over to the dark side.
