No "real" man takes orders from a woman.
No "real" woman serves her man.
No "real" mother lets her daughter play football.
No "real" father lets his son play with dolls.
No "real" Wiccan uses "grey" magic.
No "real" Christian lets people believe what they want.
No "real" basketball player is shorter than 6 feet tall.
No "real" ....yadda yadda yadda

All sounds pretty lame doesn't it?

This is something that has always bothered me about the "real" Christian.

They want the whole world to be united under Christ, which just begs the establishment of a government (based in Christianity) which will safeguard and promote the religion within the society-at-large. Then, they want every nation to have the same sort of government. Then, they want everyone to believe as they do. Doesn't this sort of promote the establishment of the one-world government?

Redneck
Militant Feminist
Soccer Mom
Homophobe
Snob
Fundie
Elitist

Imagine a world without these people:

We'd have world in which women were equal to men, in which we respected and helped each other, in which people were free to express themselves in their own way, free to worship and practiced as they wished, in which the physically underendowed were not excluded.

God, I'd hate to live there!

Lightbulb Nutshell...

...realistically speaking, you're as Christian as your capacity for kindness, good and weal allows.

That is what those who ignorantly marginalise you and your faith do not and never will understand, because it is not in them to comprehend.

Smile, and let their words run off your shoulders like water.
