with the Christianists and the rest.

John Shore wrote a blog post on Huffington Post about 10 Ways Christians Tend to Fail at Being Christian. It’s not the kind of thing I would normally read, but it was really interesting. Each of his premises linked back to his blog, which has gotten a ton of traffic and posts. The only comment thread I actually subscribed to was the one for What Non-Christians want Christians to hear. That’s a good thing. I’ve gotten bazillions of notifications in my email on that one, and despite the fact that I enjoyed reading them, I would have been overwhelmed by more.

The post is 3 years old, but it has caught on fire. Believers try to figure out what they need to do to convert more of us without actually having to look at our comments and consider our beefs.

Whatever. I recall once being trapped at an airplane bathroom by a Native American woman in some kind of costume and really bad breath. I said nothing, hoping that whoever was in that toilet would come out so the line would move, and she just kept hammering me on her faith, trying to convert me. Oh, and she had really, really bad breath.

I don’t think you’re a “good Christian”, John. You are way too open-minded, thoughtful, and tolerant.
