Ambition amoung the Religious


Ambitious people annoy me. I allow things to annoy me too much. I have noticed a trend among some of my Christian friends. It is a trend in the religious community at large and perhaps my Christian friends are merely victims of it. To me, the concept looks like this;

a.) Christianity is awesome.

b.) People want awesome stuff.

c.) People pay cash for the stuff they want.

d.) I should be able to leverage "a + b = c" to my advantage.

The ambitious are always repackaging things and preying on the fact that the future is unknown and the unknown scares the hell out of normal people. The Christianity that was portrayed by Jesus Christ was not sellable, it consisted of the stuff everyone knows they need but no one will do. Solitude, service, silence and selflessness are hard sells.

Good luck my Christian friends.
