I'm getting a little tired of hearing Christians complain about being persecuted because people are bringing the hammer down on them for their stances on homosexuality. I'm tired of hearing Christians complaining that their victims of vicious attacks when people disagree with them or say that their beliefs are bullshit.
You fuckers don't know what a vicious attack is.
A vicious attack is being beaten to death for your beliefs. A vicious attack is being chained to a truck and dragged to death for your beliefs. A vicious attack is being hanged in a public square, having your head cut off, being dragged from your home in the middle of the night and "disappearing". A vicious attack is being nailed to a fucking cross and hung up to die slowly with a couple of thieves after walking around healing and feeding people and preaching LOVE AND TOLERANCE.
A lot of Christians like to embrace their faith while forgetting that there are centuries of baggage that come with it. Your faith didn't come into the dominant position it enjoys today because of God's will or because people genuinely embrace your ideas. It became so prominent because the people who practiced who came before you murdered anyone who disagreed with them. Your faith was built on a foundation of blood and war. For all the people who have done good things in the name of your God, so many more have killed, raped and pillaged in His name as well.
I know these things because I've read history. I don't pretend that the only thing you need to know about Christianity is found in the bible. You may want everyone to believe that you're tolerant and loving, but when you express ideas like "Gays are evil" or "Gays don't deserve the same right as us" then the only thing I see is the legacy of blood on your hands, blood that no baptism will wash away.
If you're the kind of Christian who doesn't believe these things, then you should already know I'm not talking to you. You shouldn't even have to defend yourself when people like me complain about Christians, because you know you're not like them. And there is a difference, a divide, between Christians who preach ignorance and hate in the guise of "love and peace" and Christians who live what they believe, who show who they are by their actions and not by their words.
I don't hate Christians and I never have. But I do hate people who call themselves Christians yet prove themselves to be false with every word that comes out of their mouth. If you feel like you're being attacked by people who complain about you, maybe instead of getting angry and lashing out you should stop and ask yourself why you feel that way and, more importantly, why people are attacking you. I'm not expecting you to pay for the sins that others who came before you committed. But when you follow the same line of logic they did by saying "I'm right because my magic book says so" then you live up to that heritage and the vicious attacks will keep coming.
"Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."
- 1 Corinthians 13:13
