The problem with Christianity
The problem with Christianity today is the way it’s being taught. Growing up in the south, in the land of Baptists, Methodists and Catholics, you were taught their version of right and wrong. More than that, society as a whole was expected to act a certain way. In Texas even today they have what they call Blue laws. Legislation designed to honor what the church believes. One of these laws forbids sales of automobiles on Sundays. Another forbids the sale of alcohol before noon on what they believe is the Lord’s day. Talk about a blue Sunday.
“Don’t drink, don’t dance and don’t chew. And don’t date girls that do.” This was and still is a common phrase thrown around today. Back in my college days I played basketball for a little private Free Will Baptist College in Oklahoma. Their brand of Christian slavery involved forced attendance at the church of your choice where someone from that church had to sign a paper that said you attended that Sunday. They were strictly against going to the movies and they didn’t mind telling you about it. And this was in the 90s.
