Why Lewis Gets It Right, And Why I Come Off Sounding Pretentious

"...Christianity simply does not make sense until you have faced the sort of facts that I have been describing. Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need forgiveness. It is after you have realized that there is a real Moral Law, and a Power behind the law, and that you have broken the law and put yourself wrogn with that Power--it is after all this, and not a moment sooner, that Christianity begins to talk. When you know you are sick, you will listen to the doctor. When you have realised that our position is nearly desperate you will begin to understand what the Christians are talking about. "

-Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis

The problem here is when I assume that everyone I interact with feel the same brokenness I feel, the same inability to do right in a world steeped in wrong. I'm a sarcastic soul, joking is my pasttime. When I see comical situations, I make light of them, even if it's not seen in the same light by those around me. Here is my problem, I see wrong as wrong and good as good, no matter the intentions behind them. From my own point of view, someone feeling good for their wrongs and feeling bad for their good causes me much scratching of the head. 

Here is where I don't relate well to people I've tended to interact with. I also am one to show my faith/beliefs on my sleeve and defend or attack appropriately. From my point of view, I'm just trying to keep people honest to the inconsistencies of life. However, what I see to be the problem is when I fail to understand someone's situation from their point of view. Shitake mushrooms, I'm sorry peeps.
