Christian Hits Back

“I’m amazed at your constant complaining about the Christian community. Christianity is a tool like education. If one is willing to accept the advantages offered by a high school diploma vs. a college degree, that’s their business, but they have no right to whine about the extra money and privileges that go with a college degree. I sell twice as many insurance policies as my non-Christian competitor in our firm. I belong to three different churches and alternate my time between them. I’m very active in all three. I do not know a person who really believes the ridiculous stories in the Bible like Joana and the whale and so forth. Ask any of them about these things and most will just smile and give you the standard answer, ‘God works in mysterious ways’. What do you expect them to say? People who go to church go for thousands of reasons. I go because I like to make money, lots of money, and my Christian fellowship allows me to do that. It’s no different than the Freemasons, Heritage Foundation or any other organization. Miller, the problem with you, and the others like you, is that you expect Christians to be like Jesus. If you want to spend your life broke, ridiculed, and then crucified that’s your business, but I want the best life has to offer so instead of complaining about Christianity I embrace it.”
