(no subject)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Isn't that great. I've got this music box thing I got for Christmas like 2 years ago, and it says the last part on it... the always protects... I didn't know where it came from until just recently.
I think I have realized what is one major thing that makes me dislike church often... or feel uncomfortable or whatever. I believe in God. I like reading the Bible. I enjoy worthwhile sermons, but so many times at church you just get talked at. You sit there and people talk at you not with or to you. Lots of times you are told what is right and wrong, and how this or that is, and all of sudden that is supposed to be the answer, and it is all supposed to be perfect and make sense. I beg to differ. And also, so much of the Bible is left open to personal interpretation and opinion. I know there are plain hard facts in the Bible, many. However, there is much contradiction as well. There is so much left up to the way people determine it, and the problem is that so many people, do not recognize that. They will not recognize that there is so much interpretation to be done, and many opinions to be made. Yes, preachers go to seminary so they can be experienced in interpreting and teaching, but that is not what my point is at the moment. It's so bad. Whenever I want to make a point about something I always end up saying yes I know this or that is true about what I feel people would use to come back at me with (for example about the preachers) . When I want to talk about something I know that what I am saying is not the only correct thing, but I feel like people aren't open minded enough today to read it without thinking I'm biased or whatever. Like I have to apologize for what I am saying or something. I just feel like people will be to quick to judge before talking to me about my opinions and such. Do you know what I mean?
Oh wait... you probably didn't even read this.
I don't know if what any of I just said makes sense to anyone but me.
Man I just found the hottest user on Kazaa. And by hottest I mean with great songs and fast downloads... at the moment at least. I'm talking Bright Eyes, Incubus, System of a Down, All American Rejects, The Presidents of the USA, The Cranberries, Thursday, Death Cab for Cutie.
Later.
