Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-2)
If you
have experienced any positive results from being a Christian…any
encouragement…comfort…sharing…tenderness…compassion… then be a Christian
and do the things that Christians are supposed to do. As much as I am convinced
that Christianity is the best and only truly good choice, if you have received
any encouragement…comfort…sharing…tenderness…compassion… from being a Muslim, a
Wiccan, a toxic male, a Socialist, or a psychopath, then be a Muslim, a
Wiccan, a toxic male, a Socialist, or a psychopath. I’m not suggesting anything
in that list from Muslim to psychopath is something you should be, but if you
are going to be one, then stop hiding, stop making half-hearted dashes into it,
stop looking around, expecting others to accept, approve, celebrate, or promote
what you are. Just stop letting fear convince you to hide in shadows. Even if
you’re going to do something illegal – stop pretending you aren’t. Stop trying to hide in the shadows and hope no
one catches you. You might be stopped from doing what you want, but at least
you’re not being a hypocrite and a coward.
If you've received any benefits from being a human, be the best human you can be.
This is
one of the things I have against those millions who suddenly “became” Charlie
Kirk. If you’re going to be a Charlie Kirk, or you’re going to be part of a
Turning Point chapter, then be a Charlie Kirk. Use his methods. Believe
what he believed. Be prepared to meet his fate.
But
that’s not what we want to do. We want to claim to be this or that without inconveniencing
our lives. I’m guilty, too. I want to be a writer without doing the things
(marketing is the big one) that writers have to do. But that’s not the way it
works.
