EvilAlien's Journal: I'd rather be capable of hate than be a mindless drone

Ugh.

So I got this in my email today, and I'm not sure why I got picked to receive it.

A woman was asked by a co-worker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The co-worker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then he cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

So in other words, being a Christian is like having your brains scooped out, having your free will and thoughts stripped away, and being filled with "light"? No ideas, just light?

This has to be the least inspiring thing I've ever seen. I'd rather be an individual capable of hate and greed than a mindless drone with no thoughts of my own.
