31. the worst kind of Christian
Mon Mar 24, 2014, 08:05 PM
Mar 2014

Is one that runs to the religion as their last desperate attempt to turn their lives around. Because they are the most fanatical. Because they know how thin the tightrope is if they fall off again, especially if that means falling into raping and assault again.So they project their fear of falling onto everyone else, that the whole world will collapse if everyone doesn't do as he has done. They love that they have found a community that will blindly forgive them and put them on an equal footing with themselves no matter how gruesome a life they have led before.

I guess there is something noble about that but its also all centered around a belief in an invisible being holding it all together. In some instances I suppose if religion is the only thing keeping a would-be criminal in check, I have no problem with it. Its when they then think they are compelled to push their skittish paranoia and desperate self-delusion into the greater public arena that I have a problem with. Especially this type of radical extremist Christian who's passion does not come from any great desire to help others, but one of massive fear that he must always win any argument, even if he has to get loud and drown out others, because his own life is in the balance, held together by a magic thread.

And this won't matter a bit to his supporters... mikeysnot Mar 2014 #1
