Today an acquaintance set me straight why I can't stand the so-called "Born Again Christians."

He said, "Born Again Christians are the worst KIND of Christians, because their outward attitude is one of, "I know the truth and I am going to heaven. They lie, cheat, and steal, yet they will look in your eyes with a glazed looked and say, 'Jesus Loves You, he really does.'"

Yeah, in their hypocritical world they hate gays, Jews, anyone who doesn't agree with their point of view. In fact, I know of someone who (thank God!) that despite espousing "high Christian values" molested his step-daughter (the victim related this to me several times in her hate for this person and I believe her), yet, they are so in love with their "goodness" and themselves that even Narcissus would hold his head in horror.

I have no problem and respect a lot of good Christians who don't go around being intolerant and bigoted....what I call the "quiet" Christians who emphasize doing goodworks very peacefully. But the others...like the much exulted right-wing pastor Rev. Ted Haggard who was "cured" of his homosexuality and demonstrated such (how did he do it?) after three weeks.

I've said it many times, "Jesus, Protect Me From Your Followers."
