Get the political christianity mug.A mechanical Christian is someone who claims to be a Christian, goes to church, attend all the meetings and services, but doesn't actually live the life of a believer.
They go to church likely because that's how they've been brought up. They wake up every Sunday morning and get ready for church, not because they're hoping to have an encounter with God, but because that little routine has always been a part of their life.
Dressing up and going to church every Sunday is just one of those weekend activities, that they've gotten accustomed to. Hence, they live a mechanical life.
They give tithes and offerings because it's customary to do so. They say grace before meals because it's customary to do as a Christian. But deep down within them, they have no real relationship with God.
They do these things out of habit, mechanically, and not because they have any real conviction in them.
This practice is called Mechanical Christianity.
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power therefore." - 2. Tim 3:5

A: Sharon used to be a Mechanical Christian at her early life, but I'm glad she finally had an actual encounter with Jesus.
B: Now she comes to church not because she's expected to attend a church as a Christian, but because she actually wants to hear a message from the lord.
A: Yea, mechanical Christianity can lead someone into a false sense of being saved. Only true relationship with God brings enlightenment.

Get the Mechanical Christianity mug.Post-Gothic Christianity is a multicultural, all inclusive, especially considering Black Christian traditions in North America, philosophical construction of Christianity that is especially uniquely artistic and individual in scope. Occasionally artists who are Post-Gothic as Christians will include Post-Gothic Christianity as part of their artistic ouevre, including celebrities like Kanye West, a black billionaire who is both a musician and an entrepreneur.
Post-Gothic Christianity is not necessarily theological, it is also artistic, poetic , individualistic, and subjective in height. Post Gothic Christianity is oftentimes ironic in scope, political in purpose, and it is purposefully completed by it’s flaws, including the flawed subject of Post-Gothic Christianity, mostly centered and constructed in the 21st century. Post-Gothic Christianity is prominent especially for questioning the white supremacy of all historical Christian traditions, and the “Arian” beginnings of the Christian Church, in Rome, especially concerning the German 'Goths', whom developed Gothic Christianity.
Contemporary Romans by and large are more accepting of Post-Gothic Christianity, on the whole, than they are of Gothic Christianity.
The theory and practice of Post-Gothic Christianity is being actively developed today, and has been well documented within the musical tradition called 'Gospel', largely produced by African Americans in the United States.

Get the Post-Gothic Christianity mug.Nu-Christianity is the revamp and reinterpretation of an old, tired religion.
Nu, or Neo-Christians practice the ideals of love, spirituality and forgivness.
The Nu-Christian way tends to disagree with the old testiment, nu-christians argue that the old testement does hold some key principles, but that most of it is either untrue, or so far from the original version of God's word that it is hardly worth regarding.
Nu-Christianity suggests that people should use their own thoughts and reasoning without taking the idea that truth can be Absolute.
This innevitably ends with chaos and destruction.
Nu-Christianity does not shun feminism, homo-sexual relationships, chauvenism or animal abuse, in the way that old Christianity did.
For example, up until recently women could not be ordained as priests in churches, the Catholic religion still practises this.
Also, homo-sexuals cannot be married in church.
Despite the principle that God has forseen 'man's (again anti-feminist) creation' and that everyone is created equally.
Nu-Christianity was set up to combat hippocricy, discrimination and mis-interpritation.
Nu-Christianity does away with useless tradition and rituals as they believe - these do not bring you closer to God.
They also believe that most, if not all, religious texts have been manipulated so that they are slanted towards a particular view stance and should not be taken literally.

A·mer·i·can Chris·ti·an·i·ty
/əˈmerəkən/ˌkrisCHēˈanədē/
(noun)
{a religion “loosely” based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices.}
explanation
Where it differs from real Christianity is in its teachings to hate other religions and sexual preferences it does not tolerate. Whereas in real Christianity, it is taught to Love Thy Neighbor, it is the opposite in American Christianity.
Racism is also very prevalent in American Christianity. A defining feature of American Christianity is its point to make Jesus into a white male with blue eyes. Which makes this religion border on the teachings of Nazism.

On Yahoo Answers, some bitch got all nasty with someone about having trouble accepting some Church belief that Animals not going to heaven, but then at the same time started freaking about how to properly dispose of some palms.
On Youtube, the Christian Universalist theologian L. Ray Smith exposes Bill Weises book "23 minutes in hell", and does a good job at exposing all the flaws. However some fundies go off commenting the video calling him arrogant. Really, the only thing arrogant I see is those fundies believe that anyone who does not believe as them is going to hell.
They fight about some of the stupidest stuff. There are people in the street starving, animals and children being abused, rainforests being destroyed, and serial killers on the loose, and they are fighting over stupid shit, like woman not being housewives, gays having relationships, teaching evolution at schools, rock and roll and lack of TV censorship. F them, they know nothing.
