And stay off.
I know you folks think you know what you’re talking about
I know because I used to be like you
That’s right
I used to be a Christian
Lived it like I was a Christian at birth
when in fact I wasn’t.
All this talk about how you think I’m going to “come back around”
is just so untrue
I know you don’t understand how I can no longer be
that which you’ve just not graduated, yet
but you’re apparently not ready
otherwise you’d be where I’m at already.
hey some folks just graduate school quicker than others
some people advance quicker than others
some people are much more fast learners than others
get my drift
everyone doesn’t have the same speed of learning
some people keep flunking and having to repeat lessons
while others go on to the next level
everyone is different.

I’ll share one case but I’ve had it done often
especially after I advanced Christianity
A person contacted me online about Christianity
well the person said he was Christian and
I said I used to be for years but
that I no longer follow religion
The response I received from him
along with my response
both unedited except for his name…

The Christian Says:
when christianity becomes a religion that is when you fall. christianity is having a personal relationship with Jesus , If you are not have a personal relation ship with Him we will fall. Being religious is not a christian . I was born in India but moved here to orlando.long time back How old are you ?. you need to get on my site [url removed].

I Reply:
Haha. Yea they’re teaching you that, too, huh? haha. You know, [name removed], I used to tell people that same thing about how Christianity isn’t a religion and how it’s a personal relationship with Jesus. Yea I told people that, too. Been there, done that, [name removed]! haha. So you aren’t and really can’t tell me anything new. Ok? Please, save your breath because I’m not the one that needs “saving”. I can assure you, you do NOT want to have this conversation about Christianity with me because it will be a “losing” battle for you guaranteed because I have experience that people just can’t fight against. And it’s not the experience that you might think. Because all it will take to end the conversation is to ask you ONE question that’ll make you see Christianity for what it really is. Because right now you’re mind is closed and not as open as it needs to be resulting in you choosing to see what you want despite the real deal. And if you don’t know what Christianity is nor this “Jesus” you and every other Christian claims to have a relationship with, then you are by no means ready for what I have to say. So [name removed], keep on living. It’s obvious to me based on how you replied that you are what they call a “babe in Christ”. So you’ve got a tremendous amount to learn. And in due time you will. But I’m not here to teach you what you don’t know, yet. See that’s not my duty, but you will know FOR YOURSELF what I’ve come to know and when you find out the TRUTH, no matter how much you may try to turn it into a lie and no matter how much you may try to deny it’s validity it still stands there unchanged and unmoved. I know, because I was there — because it happened to me. So instead accept it and own it because it is what it is regardless what your beliefs are. Who will tell you? Let’s just say, don’t make the mistake in thinking you’ll find out from some human or book. So continue on your journey for Truth and be of courage as you do. You’ll find out soon enough. I darn sure won’t be the one to tell you nor show you because it’s not for me nor anyone else to do so. To each is unique. Mark these words this day. And enjoy your day with smiles

The Christian Says:
It looks like you been through a lot , can you tell me what happened i would like to know if you dont mind

================

I went on to explain to him
in one short paragraph
that my eyes were opened
without providing him details.
You see
it may appear that I responded harshly
however it was obvious
he chose to not accept the fact that I was no longer a Christian
because had he and left it alone
he wouldn’t have referred me to his christian site
stating that I “need” to go there
for example,
if I tell you that I no longer read horror stories
are you going to come right back around and say
“Well you’ve got to read horror books.”
You would if you’re attempting to change my mind
and get me interested in it again
So I read right through why he wanted to know what happened
and nipped that in the bud real quick
because in the mind of a Christian
they want to be the one to offer up a rebuttal
(like some telemarketer or salesperson)
because they’re trained to think it had something to do with people
and they’re trained to be prepared to give rebuttals when a situation
calls for one to get them to “come back” to their God
and a lot of times it is due to people why folks leave the church
but quite honestly
that’s just not the case with my situation
It wasn’t people that lead me away
from the church, religion, christianity
not at all
And it’s really not about me being “lead away”
it’s about advancement/graduation

***************************************
I enjoyed the experience living as a Christian
Sure it had its moments
but it was good overall;
hanging out with people of like minds.
I mean you make the most of it
just like with any experience in life.

Thing is Christians think they can change my mind
and present some “healing” for my case
because they think I turned my back on Christianity due to people
when in fact, it hadn’t a single thing to do with any human being
let alone me “turning my back” on anything
So when Christians attempt to “fix” me
because in their closed minds
they think I’m broken
as they think of the rest of the world
in their statements and say they’ll pray for me
I’m just like
How foolish!
Instead of accepting that I have advanced.
But how can they even begin to accept
that which they don’t even understand
Because if they understood it
they would realize
that the only person that needs prayer
of any kind
is their own self

I know they think the “devil” has got me confused
but again
How foolish!
The underlying thought of that is
“I don’t understand and since it’s confusing me, it’s got to be the devil”
because they correlate confusion with evil, demonic, satan
(everything they believe is not God)
So that’s why they say it
And some say it in their attempts to get me to speak of what I know
and that I will not share.

All it takes is for me to ask any Christian ONE question
that will cause their life to be turned inside out
Just one.
And if you don’t already know that question
then you aren’t ready for it
because the answer is harsh
it sure was to me
and it could be classified as a
“rude awakening”
but I’m glad it happened
wasn’t at first
but it was
what it was
I could develop beliefs around it
making it to mean what I wanted it to mean
but that didn’t change what IS
I know you want to know what I’ve seen
what I’ve heard
what happened
but if you really want to know
all it takes
is to open your eyes
just looking at your own life
it’s like that saying goes
that has proven itself time and time again
“the answer is always under your nose” or
“the answer is right in your face”
something along those lines
and yea it sure is!
all it takes is for you to be willing enough to see it
and accept it
because the answer has always been there
people have chosen to interpret Knowledge into Beliefs
and several of them
to the point where they have subconsciously
masked the real deal
like I give you water
and you turn it into ice tea
and call it that when people ask you what it is
never mentioning to them what it really is
You see
it doesn’t erase the fact that it’s still water
and will ALWAYS be
(sure you can go deeper than that)
regardless what name you give it
and what you attempt to add to it
to change it into something
it really just is not
How do I know this is the way of the Christian?
Because again
I used to be
a Christian
for years
Not just wearing the label
but breathed it.
This is not a post to tell people to stay away from Christianity
because you can really learn some things from it
but go in open-minded
it’s really the best way to learn
and learn anything for that matter.

So you can think what you want
and make your attempts that fail
at the first thought of them
because what you THINK
doesn’t stand a chance
of what I KNOW
and that will remain so
just as existence is.
Thoughts change
Knowledge remains the same.
So unless you are ready for your life
to do a complete 180
you –
just like the Christian that contacted me
– do not want to have this conversation with me
Your graduation will not come via me
based on me telling you my experience
nor any living soul
not even doctrine.

Who would have thought I’d be where I’m at today?
Surely not even me.
But I am
And that’s fine.
So Christians,
no disrespect,
but get off my back
spiritually and in your thoughts
otherwise you will find yourself
immediately falling off
because I will not hold you up
nor pick you up
having fallen off on your very own
especially after I told you to stay off
I didn’t welcome you to get on my back
to begin with.

Ya’ll are becoming like pests to me
I respect your views
and your speed of learning
no matter what your age is
but you fail to remember
I used to be a devoted Christian
ALL THE WAY
If you want to “save” someone
Then do the world a HUGE favor
and start with and end with
YOURSELF.
I strongly recommend it
and you’ll be glad you did.

Enough said.
