1st post of probably... a million.

Hello?

Hi.

You are probably one of six, maybe seven readers of my new blog, Dumb Things Christians Do. Does Blogger automatically copyright?

If you're planning on reading any posts from here on out, I need to give a few words of advice before you go any further.

1) Most of what I say (er, write) is only half serious. So you should only take me half seriously. But which half am I serious about, and which half am I joking? Figure it out. I can't tell you people all my secrets!

2) You may get pissed off about some of the things I write on this blog, such as me using the word 'pissed.' Here's the deal: I'm not intentionally trying to piss you off. My goal is not to offend anyone. I don't wake up in the morning, stretch, then say to myself in the mirror: "Dude. Today is a perfect day to crap in someone's cornflakes." But here's the other thing: If I know that my opinion is biblically accurate, I really don't care how angry it makes you. If it's in the Bible, don't get mad at me for telling you. Get over it.

3) As much as you may sometimes believe, I'm not a racist... All the time.

4) My heartfelt opinion is that we as Christians should be able to live and function with more wisdom, discernment, and sound judgment than the average Tom, Dick and Harry. Why? Because we have the Bible and the Holy Spirit to guide us. If we're not seeing more success, we must be morons.


So there you have it folks. Enjoy the blog, leave your angry comments, and spread the word to more over-sensitive people who'll be too easily offended. Just remember: Jesus didn't always communicate the truth in a sensitive, polite, accommodating way, which offended a lot of religious people. I think I'm ok with following his example.
