Mob Mentality

In the Bible, it tells of how Jesus was wrongly accused and hated so much so that His own people wanted to see Him dead. When Pilate asked the Jews to choose between Jesus or a notorious criminal, deciding who they wanted to set free as it was a custom back then where they let a criminal go free in commemoration with a certain event. They chose the criminal. A person who may have murdered and done many other vicious acts. They chose him over a person whom they saw as a threat to the Jewish believes and teachings. Just to spite Him. Of course there were instigators. They were the pharisees; religious teachers that were considered holy men who followed God's 'law' down to every word.

This is not intended to flame the Jews or the pharisees in anyway. I just want to relate the present day scenario with the past. You may be wondering, "Come on, we are not so uncivilized as to gang up on one person just because he/she is different in ways that are not normal to us". That is where you are wrong. The feeling is there, though the reaction may be different. One of the main reasons why we are 'civilized' as we do not resort to the aforementioned scenario is because such actions are against the law of today. Everyone value their own lives so they react within limitations to the extent that they remain safe. It could range from just maliciously talking behind one's back or even manipulating others to go against a person they hate.

Some people do not see this as a wrong doing. These people might think they performing justice by spread the word about how evil a person is, thinking they are doing others a favor by warning them when ultimately it is their personal dispute and differences with that particular person. Some people know it is wrong, but yet still do it with the same thinking where they must band together to go against a person who is different from them. That person may be inferior or superior. Nevertheless that person will still be seen and treated as different.

I am really disappointed with 'fellow Christians' more than anybody else. To be able to behave that way to your own people, to people who share the same faith as you all. You make Jesus sad! Why do you choose to turn a blind eye? Why do you choose to remain silent? Why do you refuse to get involve in helping a troubled person? Is it the fear of inconvenience? Out of your comfort zone? You are no more use than a gathering of stones. You go to church every Sunday. Why? To show others that you are holy? To show others that you are Christians? Christians who do nothing but let other people know they are Christians? Remember action speaks louder than words. Your actions are your testimonies of yourself. You can claim to be righteous and have not done anything wrong in your entire life. However, what is the sure if you have not helped other? Especially going out of the way to do so? You are no better than anybody else. You could be people from other religion or no religion at all for all I know or care.

Those of you that go to church seeing it as a social gathering where you get to meet up with 'Christian Friends' every weekend. What is preventing you from meeting up wit these people every other time? People who go to church to portray how righteous and good they are and people who actually are gullible enough to believe them.

Then come the sayings. 'Nobody is perfect'. 'Church is for sinners'. Please do not give me that shit. You use it as a cop out to remain the way you are. If you know you but without flaws, then strive to improve on the areas wherever you can in thoughts of it being a blessing to others once achieved. Why keep harping about your flaws and not do anything about it? Do you expect people to accept who you are without improving yourself? Would you accept others for who they are without expecting or helping them change themselves for the better? If you have the mindset of 'I don't mess with him/her, he/she does not mess with me, everything is fine', what are you doing in church? What are you doing calling yourselves Christians? Christians are not just for show or display. It is not a social status which makes you better than the rest. In fact it is a status labeling yourself imperfect and a sinner. One who sincerely desires to be a better person through actions rather than just talk and prayers.

You do not get closer to God by just listening to sermons on weekends, singing songs to God, reading the Bible and praying everyday. Those are just the theory part. If you do not put it into practicality. If you do not use what has been given to you as a privilege, you are of no use to anybody. Not to men, not to God.

The next time a situation occurs where you call yourself a Christian. You should think before considering yourself one.
I am so sick of all of you good for nothing 'Sunday Christians'. You think not using profanities and not having bad thoughts make you pure and righteous? By not helping whenever you have the opportunity to, by not saying something when you have the change to is already evil in itself. A person who does not say anything in hopes of preventing from lying is still dishonest. A person who does not do anything in hopes of not fucking up is still useless. It has come to the extent when I hear people calling themselves Christians, I become more careful of them.
