I'm not a Republician and I Follow Christ

I'm a Democrat but when I became a Christian it was "assumed" I was a Republican. Suddenly I was on the list of Republican propaganda Fwd emails.

I finished a book titled: They Like Jesus but Not the Church: Insights from Emerging Generations, and it falls into line with the theme of this situation I find myself: presumptions about Christians. Christians are now automatically "radical" fundamentalists. Sadly, the word fundamental has also been hijacked by a weird sub-culture to mean a four letter word.

Being somewhat moderately liberal all my life, being a yogi fit the bill, so my political and moral leanings were never in question. But being a Christian has cast me in a weird bizzaro world. Suddenly complete strangers think they know me, and label me judgmental, negative, homophobic, hater of all religion, sans Christianity, and take the Bible literally, especially Leviticus!

My commenter said I was ignorant, had a narrow belief system, stuck in dogma, and that my point of view is "what's wrong with Christianity." I got no props for the 30 years I was involved in eastern religion and happen to see things on both sides of the fence. He went on to say that Christians were responsible for all the wars, hate, prejudices and world woes. The article in question wasn't about Christian churches, but deceptive gurus, and the freedom found in Jesus Christ.

He said Jesus was my new guru, but Jesus can't be a guru. A guru is only a spiritual guide. Jesus is the Son of God, and our Savior, but today's current American culture doesn't think believing that is tolerant. The word tolerant has also been hijacked.

Though he was a registered Blogger, his blogs were pathetically void of any content, nor did they identify him, other than he's been to India a bunch of times, so his comment went into the trash.
