Christian, tell me why do you call yourself “salt” or “light”? What is meant by that?

Christian, tell me why do you insist on talking about some big scary Judgment Day? We can’t know what will happen, so as long as we sincerely try, we should be OK, shouldn’t we? And why keeping “harping” on heaven-in-the-clouds-with-angels, or shouting about fire and brimstone in hell?

Christian, tell me why do you expect a Second Coming of Jesus? It’s been over 2000 years. Get over it: He’s like all the other legends and never coming back!

Christian, tell me why does the word “Armageddon” convey such disaster? What is it, really?

Christian, tell me why do you talk about someone called the “Anti-Christ”? Who is this big, bad person we’re supposed to be afraid of? And what’s up with Babylon? Why is that ancient empire coming up again?

Christian, tell me why do you talk about a coming time of “Tribulation”? Doesn’t that mean “trouble”? Why anticipate such a thing?

Christian, tell me why do you talk about something called “Rapture”? What does that mean?

Christian, tell me why do you sing about “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and talk about the “armor of God”? Why be so militant?

Christian, tell me why do you say that we shouldn’t worry about money? Why shouldn’t I do my best to get ahead?

Christian, tell me why do you believe that Satan is real?

Christian, tell me why I should just forgive anyone who hurts me? I can’t pretend it didn’t happen. Isn’t it evil to ignore wrong-doing? What about justice?

Christian, tell me why bother praying? God already knows what He’s planning to do. How would my prayer change that, and why would I want to?

Christian, tell me why do you do that weird ritual with a tiny bite of bread and sip of wine?
