The wisdom of Ambrose Bierce

From The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary...

Christian n. One who believes the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor. One who follows the teachings of Christ insofar as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.

Kind of funny, actually. But I do sense you loathe Christians. Why is that?

I actually wanted to dedicate this post to a former acquaintance who went on a mission to Africa to save children for Jesus, but left her husband and her own kids because he wasn't able to satisfy her in the sack. Her kids are pretty emotionally messed up as a result. THAT is the kind of "Christian" I loathe. I consider this post a warning shot across the bow to Christians who are a bit too impressed with that fact.
