Unconditional Love?

The love of the Christian deity comes with more caveats, addendum’s and clauses than Sheldon Coopers roommate agreement.

The Problem With Tebowing, Praying And The Word Of Jesus

Paul O'Flaherty 2

I came across this image admonishing Tim Tebow, and those who indulge in public “for show” displays of praying, and while that’s an interesting enough discussion in it’s own right, the real gem that got my cobwebbed brain working was in the comment thread:

Jaredmartinla : I showed my grandmother this picture and she demanded that I pull out the bible to verify this verse and then when I did she told me that the words of Jesus weren’t to be taken literally. Gotta love Louisiana.

So help me here folks because I’m confused. On the one hand the bible is quoted verbatim to strip the rights of others and impose Christian morality on the world, but when things don’t quite suit their needs or actions, Christians say we’re being too literal.

The hypocrisy is astounding, and those who indulge in it are apparently blind to it.

Or am I, as an ignorant atheist (I say that with pride as I am aware of how little I actually know),  just missing the point?

Is America Really A Christian Nation?

Saw this doing the rounds on Facebook and it raises a very interesting point for me. What would the world, or in this case America, be like if Christians actually acted like the deity they claim to follow.

British Labour MP Jamie Reed On Christians And Poverty

Paul O'Flaherty 0

It’s heartening to see a tweet like this come for politician, particularly a Member of Parliament. While Jamie Reed isn’t and atheist (he is a Methodist), it would be good if more politicians could take his lead and not let their religion dominate the political process.

In his maiden speech, he declared himself to be a Jedi in the debate over “Racial and Religious Hatred Bill” under consideration in Parliament. His comment was intended to be taken ironically and raise the issue of how the Bill would define what was and wasn’t a religion.
