I was just seriously condemned to hell. And not just me. Everyone.
A guy I work with is quite into Christ and all that jazz. Which is fine. But when someone brings up Catholicism (we were talking about mass at Notre Dame, by the way), it’s not your place to start bashing them. What kind of Christians bash others? Isn’t that against our core?
He told me that because he cares, he’s going to tell people they’re going to hell.
That’s not evangelization. That has nothing to do with God. That’s about proving that you’re right and everyone else is wrong.
It makes me sick to think of the things that are done in the name of Christianity.
I believe that doesn’t make Christianity inherently bad or wrong or even flawed. It just means that it’s suceptible to corruption. Like everything else that humanity touches.
I’ve never spoken with someone so incredibly close-minded, and I literally feel sick. This type of conversation makes me want to erase the label “Christian” from my views.
It makes me sick how much he knows about other religions–but only a small, twisted side of it. It makes me sick how slippery the words he’s heard are. It makes me sick how he can regurgitate the condemnation sermons, word for word. All in the name of love.
Please, someone restore my faith in humanity about now.

Is your friend Baptist?

Well, if he is your friend…
