Can you be a Christian without really being a Christian?
I know. It is an odd question, isn’t it? You’d have every right to say “no, of course not” or “did he bang his head?” Answer: I did not bang my head. At least I don’t think. The problem with banging your head, though, is that from what I have seen on movies, people who have banged their heads very rarely know they’ve done it.
But let’s say I haven’t banged anything, the question is still relevant. Ready? Let’s go.
Many people call themselves Christians when, in fact, they don’t even go to church. They marry in church and they have Christenings in church, but is that the same thing? I don’t think so. Going to church is for praying after all, and that’s what being a Christian is all about.
Me? I was born a Christian and I had no choice. So now I am technically a Christian. But really, in truth, the fact is that I am about as Christian as I am a Muslim. I know as much about how to find Special Needs Teaching Jobs as I do about how to hold a hymn-book properly.
My issue isn’t with people who approve of Christian values and that way of life. Far from it. My issue is more that you can’t be a Christian without actually living your LIFE that way.
I wouldn’t have such a problem with it, it’s just that time and time again people ask me what I am and then look at me funny when the answer comes back inconclusive.
It wasn’t my fault I was baptised, just remember that!
