The Bible teaches a sound principle. Love others as you love yourself. As God loves you. LOVE...people. Not, love your fellow man unless that person should be gay...or of a different religion...or just different from you in general. No. There are no exceptions made when the Bible says to love thy neighbor. So why is it that Christians who and I quote, "follow every word of the Bible", hate so much? Doesn't Jesus say love the sinner, hate the sin? I don't believe he said, make sure you pass around a petition to get rid of a Gay-Lesbian group at a high school. I don't believe that this God that Christians all claim to follow every word he commanded in the Bible would appreciate the looks I've seen cast a Muslim's way. Nor would he be terribly proud of the condescending way I've seen Christians treat Jews...which, Jesus was a damn Jew! I believe from what I've read of the Bible it explains pretty clearly that God is ONLY the one that makes judgement, and his followers are supposed to LOVE people! Isn't that supposedly how you show others in the world that God does truely live inside you? BY LOVING PEOPLE?!
The utter hypocrisey that is a church in modern times is disgusting. Paul wrote letters to churches, they make up a good chunk of the new testament...READ THEM DAMN IT!
Don't anyone ever DARE approach me again and call me an abomination unto God. I will whip around and shove that Bible down your throat, and not just metaphorically. Who the fuck are you to judge me? You are but a mortal. You mean nothing to my overall existence!
I don't believe in the Bible, but I have read it...thoroughly. I have read more than most "Christians" have that go to church every Sunday. Sitting in a church with a Bible in your lap makes you no more a Christian than walking into a classroom and holding a text book makes you a teacher.
Everyone sins, as a Christian, you ask God for forgiveness. You try to refrain from doing it again, but as a human you sin. This is not a difficult concept to understand. The Bible tells you how you cannot be perfect until you join God. Then guess what? You have NO right to judge me.
I am a spiritual person, I have my own fucked up path with my spiritual relationship with my God. And yes, he is MY God...just as God makes sense to anyone. He is THEIR God. Is he all the same being? Who gives a damn?! Let people work things out on their own damn terms. Let people live their own lives without feeling dirty or condemned for being different.
ACCEPT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE AND LOVE THEM DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENCES FROM YOU. IT IS WHAT GOD WANTED OR HE WOULD'VE MADE US ALL THE SAME!
Thank you and goodnight!
