Notes: 1254 / 1 month ago from meant-to-live (originally from anothergayshark)
Take note, Madden and co.
Take note? Alright. I shall take a note on each of these gifs.
“Asking someone to believe in a fantasy, however comforting, isn’t a moral thing to do.”
If the supernatural is a fantasy and there is no God, there is no objective morality, so on what basis is it immoral?“It’s cruel.”
Unless it’s true, in which case the cruel thing to do would be to not tell people.“Don’t you think that’s just a little bit arrogant?”
Don’t you?“It’s as arrogant as telling someone how to believe in God and if they don’t accept it, no matter how open-hearted or honest their dissent, they’re going to Hell.”
Well yes, it would be rather arrogant if you were telling someone how to believe in God by your own standards and insist that unless they listen to you they will go to Hell. Humans don’t have that authority. However, if the Bible is divinely inspired and true and we have good reason to believe those who don’t accept it will end up in Hell, then again, it would be very cruel to not warn them about it. The Bible doesn’t lay out our standard; it lays out God’s standard.“Well that doesn’t sound very Christian, does it?”
This is my favorite one. It echoes the many people who have come to my blog and told me how to act and not act if I want to be ‘more Christian’ or ‘a better Christian’. Since when does the word ‘Christian’ mean ‘someone who should make everyone around them comfortable by keeping their beliefs to themselves, and should be berated if they mention something unpleasant like Hell because they love and want to protect others’? Who decided that keeping quiet was ‘the Christian thing to do’? If you read the Bible, the guys who are ‘very Christian’ are people like Paul, who was arguably the greatest evangelist of all time. He spoke the truth whether he was in jail, in danger of losing his life, whatever.
Or really, if you want a clear picture, look at Christ himself. Was he all about making people comfortable, or did he get in people’s faces with the truth? He wasn’t some mousy, quiet guy who instructed His followers to keep what they knew to themselves and never disrupt anything - He stirred up all kinds of trouble with self-righteous people wherever He went. They even tried to throw Him off a cliff once because they didn’t like what He was saying!
If you want to know what is and is not ‘very Christian’, look at the picture painted by Christ, not the one painted by a society who throws the ‘that’s not very Christian’ line in our faces at every turn to make us sit down and shut up.
I would start by clicking here. God bless.^ All of this, amen.
@mordaciouslyyours: I like your answer.

The first thing you would notice about me if you met me would be my shortness, then my shyness.
I'm trudging through my third year of junior college, and I plan to hold Jesus Christ's hand all the way through it.
I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit as one God. I believe the Holy Bible in its original form is infallible, and the King James Version is the most accurate translation of the Word in English. I believe Jesus lived without sin, and He died to redeem me from eternal death and separation. He is my Savior and Lord.
Jesus is alive. Halleujah! He is risen.
I love my family -- spiritual and physical.
I'm a picture taker. I wouldn't call myself an amateur photographer -- it sounds too professional to be applied to me. I enjoy drawing, but I wouldn't say that I'm excellent at it. I find pleasure in writing, but my stories aren't mesmerizing. Still, I would call myself an artist. And if it wasn't for my love of reading, I probably would hate school.
