Reply #119: it's a siege mentality [View All]

[datasuspect]

they think that the secular world is trying to be encroach upon their religious world and that the devil is basically in everything that isn't "godly".

many christians have an aversion to "worldly" things.

case in point: i used to work for a very large media conglomerate and we had a live remote to pimp a music event that was coming. suffice to say that this all took place in the south.

we had this big huge slot machine thing (from which you could not win money) and if you got three of a kind, you could win concert tickets.

anyway, we had to be "out there" with the people to get them to participate. one of my colleagues asked this one lady if she wanted to give the prize machine a pull (rock music was playing really loudly all around from the station vehicle and the machine itself).

her answer: "i don't listen to that music, i'm a christian."

you see, a simple NO wouldn't suffice. one of the main objectives of christians is to proselytize.

so they always MUST make reference to their religion.

i'd like to rail on around the holidays about why i don't celebrate christmas, but you know what, i don't want to be a buzzkill for anyone else and if they're interested i will tell somebody.

christians don't give us this option. a christian HAS to believe and will never be wrong about their beliefs (in their own minds naturally).

so the siege mentality continues and they won't be happy until we are all saved.
