Hello Stupid Christian!

Keith KettenringChristian Living, The Uncommon Journey

It’s hard to believe how stupid some Christians are. Oh, I won’t tell you that you’re stupid. I’ll just think you are, wonder how you can be so blind, and pray that someday you’ll realize how wrong you are and how right I am.

“Stupid” – having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense; showing poor judgment or little intelligence; characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness. Synonyms: unintelligent, ignorant, dense, foolish, dull-witted, slow, simpleminded, vacuous, vapid, idiotic, obtuse, imbecile. 

Yep! That’s what I’m talking about. Christians (and non-Christians) who don’t believe what I believe are like that. I know. It’s hard to believe they can’t see the truth like I can. Satan’s got their minds blinded for sure. People want their ears tickled. It’s the last days when people depart from the truth. It’s sad how ignorant people can be.
