Sometimes, I think that people get turned off by having faith, believing in God; and now I know why. This blog of a Polish exchange student tells the tell of his adventure living with what even I would consider a Messed-Up family.
He was set up to live his exchange in America with this Christian Fundamentalist family. Now there is a reason they call 'em Fundamentalist, because they keep to the tradition of the religion. In all honesty, I kind of felt bad for the kid. I mean, he's seeing the extreme side of a certain faith. Of course he'll be
Also, its not "Christ-Like" to call people to have the devil in them. THAT is totally not what having a Savior is all about. When you put it like that, you are hating more of the person than the sin. Like Jesus said, "hate the sin, not the sinner." (well, I think he said that??)
I am very much surprised that there are people that call themselves "Christian" that are like this. This story reminds me of the movie "The Waterboy" where the waterboy's mom says things like that (you got the devil in you!). Jesus didn't teach us to to say that (well except when he told the devil to get out of Peter), he taught us to have compassion for others, not insult them when they are down, and definetely not to scare you from a relationship with Him.
I'm glad the kid left that family. Now I wish someone can explain or undo what he has witness.
