I’m new to my faith, so this is probably obvious to some of you, but why are people so passionate about asserting that they don’t believe in Christ? I don’t hear people respond to a Buddhist, “I don’t believe in that.” Or anyone else, really. But let someone know that you believe in Christ and so many people’s knee jerk reaction is to suddenly blurt out tha they they don’t believe. I didn’t ask them. I don’t evangelize in an obvious way. I have discussions, in part, to parse out and understand what I think, or what I’ve experienced, because it’s an interesting relationship that I have with God. And it’s even with people that care about me. They’re suddenly focused on their own disbelief rather than maybe being curious. They make my faith about themselves in a way that doesn’t fit with the rest of their personality. It’s only on this subject. Nevermind. I think I figured it out. They are trained to say that. I must be onto something. Flack over the target, I guess. Fucking balls. We humans are easy prey. Go on about your day, or maybe tell me about how you don’t believe in Christ. I’m super curious about all the shit you DON’T believe. Because that certainly makes for interesting and productive conversation.

They're Marxists, and Marxists hate Christians because Christians are overwhelmingly anticommunist.

It’s interesting because Christians, at a certain scale (the community) are quite communal. They’re the only ones that have a chance at living up to the from each according to…” stuff. In my neighborhood, you got a problem, you got a friend with a truck, tools, gun and a smile. They’re not even all religious in any sense but the effect hasn’t worn off yet. I wish that for everyone.
