Sick of It

Just got back from an intense conference. I've been thinking about what it means to be a Christian, and I've been burning with anger while doing so.

So, here's a list of things that 'Christians' do:

- Go to church
- Hold meetings for church events
- Listen to Christian music
- Don't get drunk, swear, do anything 'bad'
- Hang out with Christian friends
- Pray before meals
- Pray for things in life
- Listen to sermons
- Do Bible studies
- Go to youth group
- Read the Bible
- Talk about God
- Talk about Jesus
- Talk about church, church events, etc.
- Ask God to bless work, studies, life, etc.
- Sing Christian hymns

That's what Christians do, right? That's how we live, right? But somehow, there's something wrong about this picture...Wrong enough to make me mad.

If this is all that there is to the Christian life, then what's the point? It's just behaviour - neutral empty behaviour - neither good nor bad. If this is all, then I'd rather not be a Christian and 'believe in God'.
