4 foot Crapies and Christian elitism

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can't stand liberal Christians.

Don't get me wrong. I am fully behind the "...I will defend with my life your right to say it" schtick. But what drives me batty is the "Why do you take your marching orders from Glenn Beck and Limbaugh" mantra that seems to be eminating from Christians who believe that Obama is the end-all-be-all.

I had a free-for-all of a facebook conversation today with a friend who dissappointingly called people "Cultural Christians." He said he meant, and I am paraphrasing, "People who only go to church for fellowship and listen to commentators."

He has no idea that when he insinuates that people who don't live up to his ideal Christian image are not as Christian as he is that he DESTROYS all valid points he makes about God and love.

But I digress. My son and I went to a garbage can of a paylke today. I actually had to pay $5 to drive through deliverance territory and get to a slime covered lake. The buildings looked like Chrystal Lake from Friday the 13th. But Benny had a blast. Caught a Crapie every time he cast. Made me realize that what you think you see at first is not always accuarte. Just like my conversation with my friend.

He loves God. I believe that he simply can't see that since he agrees with B.O. that when he tells conservatives to "put God first" he is subconsciously just saying "I like Obama so concentrate on God and stop complaining about my guy." My friend is a great guy and I get angry KNOWING who he is. It is like getting angry at a guy who can't stop farting for medical reasons. He is who he is. If you want to be friends with him accept him for who he is. Even if his farts stink.

If you want friends you need to decide haw bad you want friends; enough to stop being who you are at heart? For me, I will not stop being who I am. You don't like it tough dookie. But I will give you the same respect.
