The Strangest Comment Ever


  1. About a week ago, a total stranger left a strange comment on my post. Because comments are rare, and because I liked my answer, I thought I would edit the comment for those I don't want to subject to crude language (which is  uneducated and unimaginative filler to punctuate strong feelings and/or ignorance) I'm not saying that to belittle the person. It's an observation seen in many others. 

    So here it is, the comment that caused me to scratch my head until it bled. Not literally. 

    The weak people in this world can't accept the world for how it is. Therefore they make up a better world. A world in which there is no injustice. A world in which there is order. The world they make up is afterlife. In the afterlife the ones who didn't have any joy in there lives, the ones who abode to "the lords" laws of chastity. Those people will be rewarded. Everything they couldn't be in their lives and therefore hate, will be punished in the afterlife. Everything from a man having sex with another man to mocking god, to abusing other people for their own good will be punished. These weak people are just blind for their own foolishness. They just can't see that the world doesn't work the way they wan't it to work. 

    So let me get this straight, if you don't do what you wanted to do, you get the afterlife. Hell was invented by people who want to see others get punished? Not quite.
    Christians know that is takes weakness to trust. It takes humility and trust, to look at a Father God and trust that He will take care of us. It takes strength in hope, in resilience  in not giving up, even when things don't look or feel fair. But Hell was not invented by us, nope. Hell is the Enemy punishment, waiting for Him with open arms. Hell is the place that Jesus saved us from with his sacrifice. To trust that His cross will bridge the gap between man's failures and the Lord's Power to lead us into heaven, that is what our faith is in. 

    Therefore they take a drug, that drug gives them confidence to go on living the life they are living. This drug makes them believe that being the weak one, the one who doesn't stand up for himself but turns the other cheek, is the right thing to do. This drug is religion, invented by poor slaves and bums like Jesus and Mohammed, to make their lives more bearable in absence of heroin. 

    The real drug is our sinful nature, our flesh, trying to separate us from the love of God. He died for us, and the enemy just wants us to slide by, losing ourselves in passing pleasures so we walk straight down into hell without even noticing when the road curved.  Turning the other cheek is the right thing. It's not weak to walk away. Jesus didn't defend himself as he was being delivered to die. He washed his disciples feet. He was a servant and his example showed us that we are not to be served, but we are to serve. We show His love by loving those that don't deserve it. Jesus didn't have a place to sleep. But he wasn't a bum. He trusted in His Father to supply His needs, and he is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, sitting on a throne in heaven right now.

    There were a lot of bums in those days and so religion spread throughout the world, doing all the opposite things it stood for and making the slaves masters. If religion was true to itself, it would of never tried to get the message across to other people by using violence. It would never have conquered land or tortured people who wouldn't agree with them. But religion is an invention of human beings and therefore it works like human beings. When the religious people felt they could grasp the power because of their huge numbers they seized power and forgot all about the values they used to speak of. 

    There is a point I have to agree with you on- religion can be a terrible thing. It can take the focus off of what is important. It can be a bunch of people wearing fancy clothes arguing about who fasts more, it can be a pharisee thanking the Lord that he is not like that sinner over there. It can be too many discussions and not enough action. It can be gossip thinly veiled by prayer requests. It can be a bunch of people wearing masks, not sharing their real problems because they need to be seen as all together. Jesus came to save the sick, those in need of a doctor. Violence is obviously not the answer. Power corrupts many. Religiosity, self righteousness and so many of us need to be shaken up now and then to go back to the word of God and look at our hearts and examine just how good we feel about ourselves.

    So people talking about how we have to abide to god and how about christianity is all good and all the rest is evil "…filler filler, junk, not worth reading...."( basically I'll do bad stuff to you.)  Not because I hate religious people, no, I'll do it just for the sake of getting you mad. 

    There's a lot of anger here, and I'm not sure what it has to do with my blog- especially this post. I think its pretty strange to take so much time to spread hate. I don't hate you, and I don't hate people that disagree with me. I'm not about condemning people. I don't appreciate being subscribed to that brand of people, though I know it is the common thought. Not all Christians hate, but we sure get a lot directed at us. I pray that you will come to know that Jesus loves you and died for you to have peace and freedom, not as a drug to be injected, but as deliverance from all that anger and hate spewing out. I ain't even mad, though. Confused, but I don't make that old mistake of holding non-Christians up to the standard that Christians should be living in, that is, of agape love. Loving those that are hard to love without expecting anything in return.

    P.S. I'm actually god and I read your message about how your heart is longing to share and all that. Well I gave you a  "filler filler, junk, not worth reading."
  2. No. No, you aren't. You are a person. I will continue to share my heart for Him and for whoever reads this. It's aimed for Christians,  but I do pray that some that don't know the Lord will find this, and will get curious about the Bible, about Him, about His promises. I pray that I can be a blessing. Amen.
