Types

I think Christians are funny. Do other religions try to show such solidarity on the outside, while questioning and fighting each other on the inside? Is there any other religion that is so splintered into separate denominations? This question has been on my mind this weekend. Saturday night I went to a concert of some bands that I’m friends with.  They are all professing Christians, and show the love of Jesus any way they can. But as one of them put it “Nobody believes they’re really Christians because of the way they look.”  When you walk into some churches, you are met with calm, quiet music and people dressing to impress (WHO they’re trying to impress is still a question). Other churches are full of loud, excited praise of the true God and young people who are tired of normal “religion”. The main thing to remember is that churches are made of people. People come in all different types and styles. I can understand how someone who has been raised with the same “type” of people all their life can look at the “type” of people my friends are and have trouble believing that they’re Christians; not a lot of Christians have tattoos all over they’re body, metal through their noses, and earlobes you can see through.
