I had this really big post done earlier today with lots of insight and explanation of myself… it was quite revolutionary however I forgot that I disable the ability in firefox to ask if you really what to quit when you have multiple tabs open… /cries
I know why the world hates Christians and why I have even had poor opinions of them in the past… Christians do not represent Christianity, they represent what they want Christianity to be. For a pastor, it is the absolute rejection of anything outside their faith (or rather what they have created to be their faith). For a father, it is a box of chastity to place around his daughter and high social position to give to his son. To young people its an exciting world were every day has to have some sort of spiritual significance or they feel that God has forsaken them.
“There is no truth, there is only perception.” This piece of idiocy was uttered by Gustave Falubert. While the statement is in itself contradictory, it has a modicum of truth. Christians, in their minds (although I can imagine some have done this physically) have drawn on a sheet of paper 2 columns, one titled right (holy, righteous, etc) and one titles wrong (immoral, evil, and the like). Christians have systematically gone through life placing everything they see or do into these columns and what they come out with in the end is a long list of deeds that they judge themselves and (more importantly) the people around them with. The bibles tells us that some things are wholly wrong and that we should not do them but not everything in life can be polarized like this and everytime that a Christian holds me up to some list that they think makes them riteous, I don’t feel like I’m a lower person than they are I only feel pity for them. For they have yet to see what they have made themselves into.
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5
