'We like the things
that we do not do and we still dunno why'.
Opening Statement:
Any hardcore rock music
fans who wear A7X shirts day and nite but do not play any music instrument
and hardcore football fans who boast around wearing the team's jersey and boast bout the team in FB but rarely/never play football
can group up together and start a group called
'We like the things that we do not do and we still dunno why'.

Just in case
the statement sounded bias and judgmental to certain group of people (although
they are not at all targeted), let’s just modify the statement a little bit in
order to get the whole article fit together.
Any Christian
who wear huge cross(es) and hung them like a hip hop artist around their neck
but never were in a Christian community i.e. going to churches or
Any Christian who own a Bible but never appreciate the importance of reading it and to live by its truth
can group together and start a group called

can group together and start a group called
'We like the things that we do not do and we still dunno why'.
Now that I have rephrased the whole sentence to make it more
‘Christian Appealing’, let’s get things started and trash out the issue of the
opening statement, lest we will miss the point.
Humans were created with the ability to learn and copy.
Learning and copying had helped us to walk in different ways and levels in this
world. However, the failure to ‘learn from copying’ is another thing. Adding to
the failure, humans tend to copy (or for the sake of this article, blindly
follow) without knowing why they even need to copy and imitate others.
We can have a faith, but we cannot copy a faith. We can be
brought up in a Christian family, but
being IN THE family do not make us a true believer. Why? Because we cannot just
copy our parents/imitate their Christian routine and become a Christian. To be
a Christian we need to:
1. Know why we do things that Christians do. E.g. prayer, baptism, Sacraments of the Church.
2. Have the personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
3. Get away from the ‘imitating and copying’ lifestyle, and start to
learn how to walk in the ways of the Lord.
4. Read the Bible, love it, live by it.
Otherwise, we will fall into the category of people who say
'We like the things that
we do not do and we still dunno why'.
