The internet is just an interesting place, you can find just about ANYTHING. as a follower myself and someone who can’t help but think think think, I know it’s rare to find an “intellectual” Christian. surprised was i to find a blog online visited by exactly that…it was full of intellectual-types and of course they do what they love to do, which is debate. and like any online debate, it was pretty juvenile — would remind you of high school a bit.
but i was surprised to realize most of them were Christians…but as i read more, i realized they were pretty cold, hard Christians, and sexists to boot.
it led me to write that last poem, “IQ.” and i couldn’t help but leave two posts on the blog where they were making fun of feminists (and perhaps women in general?), the second one being:
“i am just going to make one more post because i do not want to be pulled into a debate, but for those of you who posted scripture about Jesus ranting at the Pharisees, do you even realize why Jesus disagreed (and disagreed is a faint word for what he felt) with the Pharisees?
It was because they were prideful and full of themselves, and He saw how they loved themselves and their own righteousness…He knew they did not love others, and especially not “sinners”…and they questioned Jesus himself and disrespected Jesus because Jesus ate with sinners
it’s simple, you can pull and distort scripture all you want to back up your belief that you can sit there and judge and insult sinners or those less enlightened than yourself, but the greatest commandment is to love God, and the second greatest is to love each other…and yes, scripture also says to not judge, but to love
you pull people into the kingdom with your heart, not by using your intellect and judgements as a blunt weapon…pray, ask God to teach you how to use your heart as grandly as you use your mind”
