Kevin dusted off his blog yesterday and wrote a post about continuing on with the series Stupid Christians. I’m not one to steal an idea and I’m not sure that I am since I am modifying it a bit.
I love the Jeff Foxworthy ‘You might be a redneck if’ jokes, I wrote a post about ‘You might go to Crosspoint if’ a while back and it is still my most popular post. One of the things I think we as Christians do that give us a bad reputation is we take ourselves entirely too seriously. I am willing to bet you (oh no he’s gambling) that most people would be highly offended at being called a stupid Christian. So here goes, I am going to start the list and, it will only be about how I am/was a stupid Christian, so if you add to the list it has to be about you, NOT anyone else.
You might be a stupid Christian if….
You ever thought secular music is an evil influence.
You thought the King James Bible is the only translation you should use.
You voted against the lottery because it WILL ruin families.
You flip someone off on your way to church.
You sleep with your girlfriend and think it is OK because God wants you guys to get married.
You think drinking is a sin and get drunk on the weekends.
You think Jesus actually cares about who is President and that it was a surprise to Him.
You gossip about some one and disguise it as a “prayer request”.
You really believe that Jesus was a white guy with long hair dressed like a hippie.
You think that there are plenty of other people paying their tithes, the church doesn’t need mine.
And to finish it off…….
You think everyone from “that church ” is going to hell.
I’m sure I have offended you with something I have said, but this is how I was/am a stupid Christian.
Feel free to add your stupidity to mine….
You might be a stupid Christian if you think you shouldn’t be friends with anyone who isn’t a Christian.
I might be a stupid Christian if I rank sin and talk myself into believing that someone else’s sin is worse than my own.
You mean Jesus wasn’t a white, long-haired hippie?! My whole life has been a lie!
(I always enjoy your blogs. Keep it up my friend).
