Firebrand and Public Danger (Dorothy Sayers)


I believe it to be a great mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense in it....We cannot blink at the fact that gentle Jesus meek and mild was so stiff in his opinions and so inflammatory in his language that he was thrown out of church, stoned, hunted from place to place, and finally gibbeted as a firebrand and a public danger. Whatever his peace was, it was not the peace of an amiable indifference.



Peace Forever,
Firacub.

like everything else about religion, god is made to seem inhumanely perfect an thats the problem. people think the perfect are the ones to be worshipped so God was made that. infalllible.

Jesus wants us to speak out against injustice

yet, he says hate the sin
not the sinner

and devile
if u worship goodness
and u follow the path of goodness

then, it dont matter
if u believe in God or not

coz God believes in u
and i will surely see u in paradise

when yr time comes to leave dis world

-Saby
PS: but if u land up in hell
i wud ask for a transfer to hell

Paradise wudnt be paradise
if u were not there wid me
