Christians on Twitter: scrambled brains

I saw that “Christians” was trending on Twitter, for the first time that I remember, so I thought I’d have a look to see what the fuss was about. Here are the first bunch of Tweets I found.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I find them an almost incomprehensible incoherent and disjointed mess.

Whether for or against, most of the tweeters have very little idea of what Christianity is about.

Whatever else it means, that indicates to me that Christians have done a pretty poor job of communicating their faith.

And it’s not only Twitter. I read Usenet newsgroups, and there are several Christian ones, in name at least. But the only people posting regularly there are cranks and fanatics, plugging their own weirdly distorted views. They are probably drive-by spammers — they rarely look to see if anyone has replied to their junk, and never stop to answer questions. They don’t even look to see if their stuff has posted correctly; one of them has misspelled some of the names of newsgroups he has posted to, but never looks to see, which saves members of the misspelled newsgroups the trouble of deleting his posts

We really need some Christians who will post stuff on the internet that looks like something other than scrambled brains.

In terms of violence and having blood on their hands, white Christians are so far ahead of the rest of us it’ll take cheat codes to catch up

They do include Christians. The world has seen the proof. Isis admits it. Kerry can’t legislate the truth away.
