Ready to Vomit

I guess I'm depressed. I have now heard a second Christian tell me that they first had to "love" God before they could understand what Christianity really was. The first was a friend of mine -- an otherwise very intelligent person. The second time was in a free RRS show. A guy said something that was almost exactly the same. It makes me angry and irrational. I guess tomorrow I'm probably going to get a webcam and go into the chat room and everyone will finally see my hideous (ly cute) face.

i hear ya

Hiya WolfgangSenff,

 I hear ya there. I saw something similar to that yesterday when looking at a friends myspace page. One of the kids from his youth group he teaches had a "howdy" message on his site but also said that she remembers him recently saying how great it is just sit and have lunch with Jesus. But she said she wondered how he could do that when the bible says no one has seen God at any time. Me thinks he's got the makings of a critical thinker in his group Laughing

 As for the first having to "love" God before they could understand Christianity nothing could be farther from actual Christian doctrine. So you've highlighted an example of the modern view of God - which is merely taking the imaginary friend to the nth degree.
