Pastor Brian Scores Two Points

In his sermon today, he related an experience with some "dear Muslim friends" of his. Apparently, the've all had some wonderful, edifying religious discussions over the years. He chomped at the bit in excitment though, to tell us how he "one upped" them, on one occasion, in a discussion on the cross. The Muslim friends, according to him, shared the belief that before Jesus was executed, God swapped him with some kind of substitute so Jesus never died. Pastor Brian then, really got them good, because, he argued (and don't even try to guess!) that this could not possibly be true. Because if it were, then the price of sin would never have been paid. (gasp)

Now, it would be just like a Christian, to think that people in other religions, are either so stupid, or so deceived, that they'd believe in something like original sin, that God by default sends everyone to hell, but doesn't have any kind of explanation of their own as to how they can get to heaven. Well, it just so happens that Muslims don't believe in original sin. But let's not stop Pastor Brian from reminiscing about that one time where JC passed him the ball and he brought down the glass.

Well, this is another one of those fine Christian examples, where a lot of time could have been saved by merely saying, "I'm right, and you're wrong." Or actually, nothing needed to be said, since we know that Both groups, being opposing religions, each hold the belief that they are right, and the other wrong. So actually, Christians should just shut up. Because they communicate exactly the same amount of information that way, as they do when they open their mouths while being far less annoying.
