So I go to church on sundays with my boyfriend (yes, very boring and mundane, but hear me out), and itâs alright. Thereâs about an hour of singing and dancing and standing and such, and then we sit down and listen for a bit to whatever the daily thing is about. Itâs an alright place, a bit different from any other church Iâve been to (Iâm not even aiming on perusing Christianity, but my bf likes it when I go, so you know).
But every time I go, they find some way to poke fun at the other Abrahamic religions.
Last time I went, the lady that was preaching was talking about how you should let people help you clean your messes. Yâknow, like letting others (and god) help with your problems when you need it.
And along with that, she was saying how the phrase âGod Only helps those who learn to help themselvesâ was a lie. And she was saying that it shows up everywhere but the Bible itself.
And so she said âIt even shows up in the Quran, but we wonât bring âthatâ book into Gods house.â
And then later she was saying that when you let god help, you should wait instead of finding a solution of your own. And to back that up, she said that Abraham and Sarah wanted a kid, and god was like âyeah, youâll have a kid, just wait a bitâ. But then they decided to fix their problem with a surrogate mother and it worked.
And she said âAnd them not waiting for gods help, it made a huge mess. Because that child was the one who started the Muslim religion. And what did it do? It made a huge mess. Because they didnât wait for god to fix their first problem, it made a mess.â
Like dude!! What the hell made you think you could just casually call another religion a mess?! Just because theyâre not people who donât believe the same as you doesnât mean you can just insult them all!!
I feel like they push theyâre religion by making fun of other religions and making them seem like a horrible joke (the same place had a line about Jewish people way back when Jesus was getting crucified).
They donât have to joke about other religions and, in turn, all the other people who practice it to make sure people stay at their church or stay Christian. Theyâre at the church already!! They just need to keep teaching their own religion!
Anyways I just think theyâre really rude to those who arenât them and itâs totally unnecessary. Iâd stop going but I can tell it means a lot to my boyfriend, yâknow? Maybe I can write an anonymous letter to them or something.
