Hates Religion but Loves Jesus
« on: February 11, 2012, 05:08:05 pm »
I don't know if anyone has seen this latest popular video on youtube.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY</a>

On the surface, he does have some good criticisms of religion.  The politics, the rules, the striving to please god.  He says that Jesus was about "god finding you" and not "you finding god".  On the other hand, I'm skeptical that he's really hating "religion".  I hear the same line from so many other Christians online and they still come across as religious (as does this guy). 

Not fundie, but more of a religious moderate/new age Jesus Freak type.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Yeah those response videos hit it spot on.  What he's offering is nothing new.  He still believes the sin crap, still implies only Christians go to heaven, and has similar "sex is evulz" views.  He's not hateful like some of the people quoted on the main site, nor does he resort to insane troll logic like some of the apologists (Ray Comfort), but he's being dishonest by claiming to "hate religion" while still living for a god. 

And that Mark Driscoll guy, holy shit...

Dear asshole,

One of my best friends is a devout Christian. She loves God and Jesus very much. She was raised in a Christian household and believes every word of the Bible. Her parents do too. The Church is a very big part of their lives. According to you, this is the foundation of a healthy family.

So tell me, then, why she can't help but burst into tears when she gets a bad grade on a test, simply because she is afraid of the verbal abuse her parents will heap on her when she gets home? Is this the act of a healthy Christian home that bases its values on the teachings of Jesus? Do healthy Christian homes call their daughters "trash" and threaten to sabotage all their opportunities in life? Do they drive their children - their happy, intelligent, kind children - to contemplate suicide? Is that your definition of a healthy Christian family?

You might say you were born out of wedlock, and you might say you were saved. ("Spotless, blameless, no sin in you" sure does seem to sum up how you view yourself.) But that never gives you the authority to judge. Heck, according to your own religion, only God can judge! Do you speak for God? Are you his Son? Were you handed the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai? Were you conceived in a Virgin's womb? Were you nailed to a cross and resurrected from the dead? But most of all, did you preach a message of peace, redemption, and turning the other cheek? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Love,

Oh, Spoken Word. Beautiful poetry, preachy shit. I saw one that said that doing good deeds was just being selfish and that what you actually needed to do was put your trust in God.

Yeah, I'm going to take marriage advice from some twenty-something-year-old who probably isn't even married.

I know he isn't the most popular guy at the moment, but here is another, IMO, worthwhile response.

If all his videos were more like that, then TAA would actually be a likeable person.

TAA pwned this guy.  Especially his reaction to us supposidly deserving a painful death followed by eternal punishment.  That's the most ridiculous part of Christianity.

Ya know...he makes a point.  You really -should- be friends before you actually engage in a relationship, let alone marriage.  Its too bad that message gets lost in his preachy bullshit.
