I’ve been thinking lately about Christians in general and I came to the conclusion that there are basically two different categories. One group is the Christian “fanatics”. These people believe every little detail in the bible and live their lives as the bible instructs them to, trying to become the perfect Christian. There are no other possible answers in life other then what arrives from the teachings of Christianity. All other theories are absolutely incorrect and the fanatic will use every possible defense mechanism available to dismiss or deny any one who claims other wise, regardless of how persuasive their evidence may be.
The other group is the Half-assed Christian. These are the people who casually pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to believe and dismiss other parts as nothing more then simple metaphors. They may believe in Evolution or some other theory that the fanatic would completely dismiss as pure blasphemous. These people rarely go to church or read the bible and they live their life in a not-so-Christian manner and yet they still claim to be Christians and say they believe in God and Jesus but they don’t really understand why they do. Most of them were raised by parents who were also Christians, and this is likely the only true reason why they are Christians now. You see, Half-Assed Christians cannot think for themselves. If their parents happened to be Buddhist or perhaps Muslim, then they themselves would be Muslim or Buddhist. They have merely came to the conclusion that Christianity is the only true belief only because they were told it is the answer.
Before, I used to get very annoyed with the Fanatic. I thought that they were the ones who were unintelligent. But now that has shifted and I realize that it is the Half-Assed Christian who is the fool. The fanatic at least “goes all out”. If you’re going to believe in something, especially as important as religion, you shouldn’t be half-assed about it. You either believe in something or you don’t, there is no in-between. This half-assed approach is very common amongst Siccness members. A perfect example is Mcleanhatch. You may find him quote the bible every now and then only when it is an advantage to him. This is documented on a recent “Gay-Marriage” thread. But if you closely examine Mcleanhatch, you will notice that he avoids certain threads. Certain topics such as Jesus and today’s “War on Terrorism”.
There are however a few religious fanatics on this board. A perfect example would be Miggidy. He never once has questioned his beliefs or any section of his bible. Never has he backed down to an argument. And because of this, I give Miggidy much more props then I ever would to the Half-Assed Christian. If you’re going to believe in something, you have to go all out.
