Losers

Christianity will always seem like the “losers” religion. The weak, irrelevant, pathetic religion. The club you join when no one else will have you. For people who need a “crutch”.

It’s also going to be the religion that is bigoted and judgemental, with outdated rules and practices. It’s also the weirdo, happy-clappy religion.

Jesus, well that’s a different matter. He was a good bloke. And a useful swear word. Oh, and a prophet for Islam.

But those who identify as his followers, they are really pathetic, boring, outdated, superstitious, unscientific, irrelevant and basically, a waste of space, not to mention hypocrites.

Sad at it sounds, being a Christian means accepting this view from society, more-so today than ever.

But, our hope far outweighs the criticism we receive from those around us.

So, we continue to love our enemies and turn the other cheek, because this is what our leader commanded us to do. And also because we  were once on the other side of the fence, poking fun at Chrisitians. And also because Jesus accepted this treatment from others, including us.

I stuck thorns in your head, Lord, you loved me instead.
