A grief for unbelief
I was having a conversation about spirituality with some guy during a break from my production when one of the girls in the production team shared a familiar story (a story familiar and sad to Christians I mean) with us. He was saying how he believes every religion is good and are the same. At that point the girl shared her story. Let me share what I remembered from her experience:
I once met this evangelist and I asked him if I do am a good person who doesn't kill, doesn't do a single bad thing though I am not a Christian, will I go to hell when I die? He said "yes" and I told him, "Fuck you! I am not going to listen to you anymore!" and I walked away.
After a while she left to do some other stuff elsewhere and I knew I had to say something in relation to his statement about universalism and the girl's story. I told him, "Yes, all religions are good, but Christianity is different because Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That doesn't make Christianity a good religion."
About the girl who shared her experience, she is a real sister; someone I got to know well in the course of work. Alarm bells were ringing when she recalled that story - a desire to share Christ with her burned brighter at that moment. I am praying that she will know God in Christ Jesus some day and bask in the glory of the God she once indirectly said "Fuck You" to.

Christianity is not about being good... it's about being in Christ.
