Someone gave me a book. As I started reading I realized that it has to be referring to an old, strict and harsh religious cult. I was right: it was about orthodoxy.
Everyone can pretend to be a christian, but this is what I’ve found in a Christian book, from the 99 cents store:
“The next christian advices need to be followed if you want to live a true Christian life and be closer to God. If you do not follow these advices, you can’t call yourself a Christian. “
We should all keep a cross or a sacred image in every room of our homes.
Our children should only have one name, not two or three, because this is a pagan custom.
Women shouldn’t show the shape of their bodies or dress inappropriately.
It’s true; some people have only one name, a few crosses and even dress decent. However, I do know some “sinful” two-named persons. The book tells us that being a christian is not that simple. Let’s investigate further.
sin 1 (sn) A transgression of a religious or moral law, especially when deliberate.
Soft-core sins:
“I went to a club without realizing that it is the house of the devil and he mocks everyone who enters it.”
“I wasted my time watching TV.”
I want to make it clear: all of these quotes are from a christian book, which was printed with the blessing of a bishop. I am not making this up and I too find them unbelievable.
Sins which are against the 10 commandments:
“I laughed, ate, talked a lot.”
“I listened, sung and taught others to sing songs which are not related to Christ.”
I don’t understand. Why would God want us not to sing or laugh? I think that the fact that priests have imposed to many rules is a much more viable explanation of these rules.
“My child, who was not baptized, died.”
Losing your child is a tragedy. If you are gullible, you might think that you are a sinner too. This is outrageous. What person can be that evil?
“I took from the land of the Church.”
“I did not transfer my land to the property of the Church.”
“I mocked the priest, for being uneducated.”
It all makes sense now. God wasn’t the one who foreboded the TV and music? The last three “sins” seem the be written by for priests.
Deadly sin:
“Laziness.”
It’s true. Laziness is a deadly sin, along with pride and a few other emotions which never hurt anyone. I have nothing against God, but I don’t like religions which tell us what to believe and what to do. I bet that most Christians don’t know that laughing and eating a lot is forbidden by their own religion. I’m also sure that you didn’t know that if you’re lazy you will go to Hell. Even worse, most Christians don’t know anything about their religion. If you agree with all of the quotes, you can keep on marching for your religion, but if you realize that most of the so called sins are absurdities, you can’t call yourself a Christian. You either agree with all the parts of your religion, or dismiss it entirely. You can start or find a religion that makes more sense.
