Jesus Is For Everybody
I know a lot of people who say that they are atheists and when I bring up religion they either shrug it off or try to convince me that I am wrong. I have never went up to an atheist or someone of a different religion and said, "Your beliefs are stupid! Only idiots believe in that!" so I was wondering why people do it to me and other Christians. So after talking to one friend of mine he said that he used to be Christian and when I asked why he converted he said, "Because none of my prayers got answered." and all I could think was, "You're not an atheist, you're just angry." You are mad that God didn't do what you wanted Him to do when you wanted Him to do it. How is that fair? We are supposed to be in a relationship with God so how would you feel if your s.o. did the same thing? Only calling when he or she wanted something? Then forgetting all about you when everything is good? Completely ignoring you in mixed company? Never talking to you? Well, that is what a lot of people are doing to God and how is that fair? How is that right? Maybe we should be looking at things in God's perspective.
In my opinion, Christianity takes the most heat as far as religions go. People make fun of Christians and persecute them. In some schools Christians are not even allowed to use the words "Jesus Christ" yet other religions have religious freedoms. People make fun of Christians and openly celebrate Christmas but try to take the Nativity out of it. Last year, when walking around my city I saw no Nativity scenes only Santa Claus and snowmen. All I am saying is that Christianity gets no respect and people say that Christians are mean and all this other stuff but think about it. Why use the same awful examples to classify a whole type of people. It's the same as stereotyping isn't it? Just because someone says they're Christian doesn't mean they really are. Sometimes they just feel the need to check off a box.
Jesus loved everyone, regardless of what they believed or what they did. A Christian will live the same way because that is what being a Christian is all about: living Christ-like. And if you are one of those people who feel all Christians are the same, tell me why. Tell me why it is fair that Christians are ostracized and made the butt of every joke? But I already know why: John 15:18 and 2 Timothy 3:12.
