Description
why “bad christian” vol. I
I think it’s only fair to explain how I came up with badchristian.com as a domain name for a site. It’s not a long story so, relax. One day at work I was particularly frustrated with fundamentalism–in my old job I used to run into fundamentalists with a twist in their panties on an alarmingly regular basis.
Though it’s rare that any Christian would phrase it that way, most evangelicals and fundamentals would call any liberal who was a Christian a bad Christian. Since I believe that my faith compels me to be a liberal, I found this strange. What I believed made me a good Christian, they claimed (again not directly but through strong implications,) that I was a bad Christian. This was frustrating.
Eventually, I decided that fighting this perception–that I and others like me were bad Christians–simply wouldn’t work. I needed a more poigniant way to express myself. I decided to adopt the name bad Christian as a badge of honor. Perhaps it would have been easier to adopt a less controversial monniker, perhaps. But, I must wonder if it would have been as poigniant.
