It's so wasted. I wish some of ya'll could see real Christianity. The way I think it's supposed to be. Non-commercial, non-hypocritical, all-accepting and all that jazz. That's the way I see God. More of a muse than a higher being. Mmhmm. I'm sure it wouldn't change your beliefs, and I wouldn't expect it to. But maybe it'd change your point of view of all Christians. We're not all self-righteous fundies. Only in America can you be ashamed of your religion.
I get ya. I used to be Christian. But I was constantly so conflicted about it I decided it would be hypocritical of myself to claim to be a certain thing when I really didn't agree with so much of it, and wasn't as sure in my faith at ALL as so many other people I knew, so I didn't want to identify myself with something unless I could fully accept all of it. And I couldn't. So here we are. I like what they say christianity is....love acceptance, forgiveness, etc. But I'd look for that in the bible myself and not get that mesage atoll.
honestly, the biggest part that i find really affects me lots is the sermon on the mount...that, i think, is the most inspirational part for me...
I couldn't give two shits about someone else's religion - that's their business. But I have noticed for a tendency for most christians I know to be prudes, and out of the many unsavory personality traits a person can have, I particularly loathe that one.
"And I beheld a third beast arise from the sea, and his hair was of fire, and his feet did cover the earth, and he did carry forth a happy meal from the very kitchens of hell"
ha! religion places boundaries, tries to contol and limit the thought process so it can never be a good thing to me
