Why, why would I want to be a Christian?
A homeless couple needed a place to live. I offered my spare rooms and bathroom and said that we could share the rest of the house until they got back on their feet. They asked if I was a Christian. I said that I was raised a Christian but was now a Wiccan. They said that they could not live with me and would rather live in their car because I was not a Christian.
At first, I was hurt. Then I remembered that their attitude was part of the reason I had left the Church. I realize that belief in Christ and acceptance that He is the only way into Heaven is part of their belief system. I had told them my truth and what I believed. That we are all one and that ours is not a better way, merely a different way.
You would tell me that people are not perfect, that they make mistakes. I have had enough mistakes from Christians for now. Next time I meet someone who needs help, I will ask if they are a Christian first. Then I will decide if they are "worthy" of my help. Naah, I'd treat them as if they were family, really, I was just being sarcastic. But why, why in a million years would I want to be a Christian?
