Christian Caste System
the claim of Christianforums "uniting all as one body" sure sounds ecumenical, doesn't it? but once you get dragged down into the ghettos of Churchianity and Biblianity you find yourself wondering if unity really extends further than just between conservative republican right-wing homophobic dispensational fundamentalists.
what one really finds here is a
CHRISTIAN CASTE SYSTEM
because there are different levels of acceptance here. yes, everyone has their own little "forum". but we all know who is at the bottom of the triangle: all "non-christians". the next level is progressive christians. so and so forth. believing in the literal dictation of scripture here will get you more brownie points than holding to a 'God through human minds' view. if you don't buy into pres. bush or the rapture or whatever the recent christian pop fad happens to be, then you get demoted. if you stand up for gay people or other minorities you get demoted as well... and, if, by some freak chance, a real live gay person (christian or otherwise) were to wander onto this board, they would probably be banned after three posts. so we see who is really at the low end of the totem pole here... gays, freaks, liberals, and oh yes...
did i mention the entire requirement of mental suicide upon joining 'christian forums'? you do realise, don't you, that real christians don't use their god-given mind? they open it up and let their _________(fill in the blank: pastor, friend, family, church, left behind book etc) dump garbage inside and then they close it up and accuse other people of being too open minded and tolerant. one can hardly point fingers against tolerance given some of the merde some people here tolerate in their own beliefs.
so yes, it is all about the christian caste system. nevermind that there is nothing 'christian' about caste systems. before liberals "redefined" things like the resurrection, conservative "redefined" 'christian' (the pot keeps calling the kettle black). when 'christian' isn't about christ, it isn't 'christian' (duh). and where have we all left the historical Jesus in all of our abstract systems of theology? we have left him as a relic of ancient judaism, in the stones and the pages of old... and the way of peace we have not known.
