One Sunday morning during service, a 2,000 member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black and carrying submachine guns.
One of the men proclaimed,
"Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ remain where you are."
Immediately, the choir fled...
the deacons fled...
and most of the congregation fled....
Out of the 2,000 there only remained around 20.
The man who had spoken took off his hood...
He then looked at the preacher and said "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites... Now you may begin your service. Have a nice day!"
And the two men turned and walked out.
How lovely is this? It's almost sad how people just go to church and dont even know what they are truely going for, it's actually almost weird.
I was watching the movie Dogma last night, if you havent seen it, you need to - good movie, anyway, the guy said that people just go to church to satisfy them self, and not really know what they are going for - they are only going to make them self feel like they are useful and are getting a free ride into heaven.
And again, I was watching the TV and some women was being interviewed and said "the only time I get to balance my taxes and checkbook is at church".
Isnt that a nice thing to say, sad people dont even go to Church like they used to. They think just because they go into the house of God, every sunday, give up some time - they will be saved from the day of reckoning, and not be damned.
I said this once before, and I really can't say it enough - It doesnt matter if you go to Church or not, it only matters that you have faith. Doesnt have to be Christianity, Judaism, Buddism, whatever it may be, as long as your living life like you should, it doesnt matter your religion.
And people put to much focus on that, there is more people out in the world today who actually think religions are wrong, some may be, some might not be. But how will we ever know?
I'm not saying Jesus / God isnt a real person either, Jesus is areal person just like you and me, records even showed he existed, but that doesnt mean that God didnt distribute different religions for people to follow.
There is books / stories that is older than the bible its self, so how can we really know what is true?
