The Conscience of a Christian.

Also known as: The Christian's Manifesto
**********************

Another one was killed today; I just got an e-mail about it. “Men to be Killed as Infidels”, “Church Leaders Burned for teaching Heresy”.
Damn Christians. They’re all alike.

But did you, in you secular, apathetic psychology, and Darwinistic mindset, ever take a look into the soul of a Christian? Did you ever wonder what makes them tick? What forces shape them? What may have caused this spur of belief?
I am a Christian, enter my world.
Mine is a world that begins with school… I seem to be the only one who questions the myths of evolution and the Big Bang…
Damn class rebels. They’re all alike.

I’m in junior high or high school. I’ve listened to my World Religion teacher explain that all religions take you to Heaven. “No, Ms. Spencer, I understand. I just disagree”.
Damn dogmatic hate-monger. Probably got it from his parents. They’re all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a book. Wait a second, this is cool. It tells about a Creator God, and His Son, Jesus Christ. This guy is an incredible thinker, and he loved me enough to die for my sins. He teaches me how to live my life, and if I disagree with him, it’s because I’m not right with God.Not because…
He doesn’t like me.
Or He feels threatened by me.
Or thinks I overanalyze the world too much.
Or worries about what people think.
Damn Christian. Takes his reading way to seriously. They’re all alike.

And then it happened. A door opened to a new world. Rushing into my soul, like heroin through an addict’s veins, an overwhelming peace is sent forth, a refuge from the day to day nothingness, and emptiness I used to face.
“This is it. I knew there was more to life than this.”
Damn Christian. He’s just trying to get attention. They’re all alike.

Damn right we’re all alike! We’ve been spoon-fed the same ridiculous propaganda and dishonesties, when we’ve hungered for the truth! The miniscule portions of truth you have let us have, have been tainted, and twisted to meet your wretched needs. We’ve been dominated by Satanists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that have been willing to stand up and preach this message have been swept under the rug, and labeled as heretics, religious fanatics, or extremists. You remember the death, but forget the message.

This world is a battlefield now….a battle between God the Father, and Satan, the fallen angel. We spread a message of salvation that would be widespread, comprehended, and accepted by most…if the world wasn’t run be a bunch of apathetic, humanistic apostates…. and you call use narrow-minded. We search for Truth…and you denounce and invalidate our sense of free thought. We exist throughout races, nationalities, skin colors, and genders… you call us bigoted, chauvinistic, and offensive. You wage wars, design explosives, murder children, and the elderly, cheat, steal, tear apart families, lie to us and try to make us think it is for our own good…yet we’re persecuted, hated, forced to denounce our beliefs, and even locked away, as criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of honesty. My crime is attempting to spread a message that would shake our world to its core, were people able to see past the simple-minded, pleasurable lies that have been forced upon them since the dawn of your reign. My crime is that of finding away out of meaningless existence, into something much bigger, more powerful, and more beautiful than anything this world could offer, something you could never forgive me for.

I am a Christian, and this is my manifesto. You may stop the individual, but you’ll never stop the Truth. After all…we’re all alike.

Note: This is a Parody of a an article called "The Conscience of a Hacker/The Hacker's Manifesto", written in 1985 by a hacker known as The Mentor. I wrote this, not to antagonize those who read, and live by the aforementioned manifesto, but to harnass the passion and satire of it, and direct it towards a more deserving target.

The Hacker's Manfesto can be found at: http://www.phrack.org/phrack/7/P07-03

As usual, read and comment.

Your Servant and His,

"Nice. That's about all I can say. "

Well, now I can say, "well written, nicely developed, and well thought out. And effective."
