McChristians—My thoughts expressed by someone I don’t even know.
Submitted by Cliff Treadway on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 21:46I get so frustrated every time a general election comes around. My father informally coaches everybody in the family on the "finer points" of strategy voting (I've detested that for about 20 years). Luckily at 47 I have little-to-no trouble talking to him about such things. …Our being role models to those younger, for example. This includes how we approach voting. We adults (and elder adults) have many eyes on us. In this example, if we vote foolishly, the younger among us will vote foolishly.
Anyway, I came across this awesome article today. It's called McChristians. You might want to spread it around. I certainly will!

I'm happy to say I am no McChristian
Thank you for posting this-I'm sorely tempted to e-mail this to a few relatives.

Think for yourself, question authority
I might catch a little flack from Dad, Mom, and my brothers.
But that will make little difference to me, if any.

Well
All you "church" people should pass this out at your place of worship. Me...I don't do church. There is no salvation for me inside a church. If that is your thing, I'm not knocking you. This really would be a good thing to give to those people. I've had people along the way gave me different things that really made me think. That's the way to win people. You have to be fishers of men. Make no mistake, the idea of individual freedom or liberty, is the true gospel of our age. "And the truth shall set you free." The day will come when we throw the shakles off. We will shape the world in way that is desirous to all people and not a select few. But we all have a responsability. Each of us must become fishers of men's minds. It is best to talk to people that are somewhat like minded to youself. Hence, the saying: "when in Rome." Paul said something to that effect. I'm too lazy to look that up. Spouting off poetry does not prove your convictions. I understand the principal. Unlike many of you I have actually knocked on doors and tried to convert people.(ex-JW) Sorry bub, that shit don't work. If you want to convert people you have to know them on a personal level; people that you work with, people you go to school with, or people you go to church with. Don't worry about the seed that falls in the rocky soil. Some of what you plant will grow.
A church doesn't save you.
No religion has anything to do with saving anyone. So-called organized religion is man's way of trying to avoid God's way of salvation. Too many people want to "just kind of slip through the side door." Heaven doesn't have a side door. You can only ask God for salvation. I don't care how many Catholic aerobics you do, how often you do or do not attend any church, how many rocks you bow down to. All that stuff amounts to absolutely nothing (a big fat zero). You can only ask God to save you. Period. By the way, I don't go church much myself.

Great article
I wish people could have seen this before they voted. But it probably would not have made any difference, they had their minds made up. The disdain for Obama is much stronger than their desire to do the right thing.

Isn’t it fantastic?
I love those Bible verses.

Some advice from Uncle Screwtape...
"Let him begin by treating the Patriotism or the Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of the "cause", in which Christianity is valued chiefly because of the excellent arguments it can produce in favour of the British war-effort or of Pacifism."
-Uncle Screwtape, to his nephew, a junior demon named Wormwood, so as to advise him on methods of securing the damnation of an earthly man. The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis

Wasn't that great?
Doesn't pull any punches. …A very refreshing read.
