(no subject)
I think the entire reason I wish I was in a relationship right now is because I wish I had someone to cuddle with. And I want someone (male) to validate me by telling me I'm beautiful.
On days like today, I wish I had someone who I could call up to just say hey to and he'd listen to my problems and help me to feel better. I wish I had someone who I could call up and say, "wanna just go somewhere and hang out?" and he'd come pick me up and we could go to a park and swing on swings and just be content to be with each other.
I wish I had someone who understood me for who I am to the core - someone who "gets" me. Someone who wouldn't second guess my decisions - someone who would just love me and hold me and never let me go. And dare I even hope or wish or pray for someone who actually embodies the way Jesus meant Christianity to be?
I guess that's too much to ask for. In my entire LIFE since becoming a Christian, I've run into very few Christians that are REAL with people instead of the whole "I'm supposed to be good so that's how I'll act, but really I'm whoring myself out, drinking all the time, smoking like whoa, and doing everything else in the book I shouldn't be."
Is it too much to ask that people be real with me? Just come clean - I know that everyone struggles with something and I'm not going to judge you for it! Quit lying and quit hiding it. If you're real with me, I'll be real with you.
I'm so sick of all the two-faced Christians here and everywhere. No wonder Christianity has such a bad rep. And while we're at it, we can stop saying that it's only the Muslims that are the terrorists. Think twice - there's plenty of Christians that have done horrible things in the "name of God." Anyone remember Hitler? Oh, did you not realize Hitler was out there trying to kill off a whole group of people in what he thought was "the word of God?" Or how about the Christian that went and killed an abortionist and the clients in the abortion clinic and said he expected to be rewarded by God for what he'd done? Not enough proof for you yet? How about Christians out there killing gays? How about the baptist church somewhere that wanted to put up a plaque about a kid from town that had died - oh it wasn't just 'cause he'd died - it was 'cause he'd been killed for being gay and the pastor of the church wanted to put up a plaque that said the kid was rotting in hell.
Yeah, Christians, we're out there demonstrating the love of Jesus aren't we? 'Cause Jesus said, "Love your neighbor unless he's a Muslim, Jew or homosexual." Right? Isn't that one of the ten commandments Jesus talked about? No?
Oh that's right - Jesus said "Love your neighbor" and he meant love your neighbor even if he's a sinner. Jesus didn't just die to save Christians, you idiots, he died to save all of us.
And don't even think I'm going to go out there on a "missions" trip to try to convince a Jew or a Muslim that they're wrong and Christianity's the only way. Where's my proof? The Bible? They've got the Old Testament and the Koran (qu'ran?). Don't you realize their God is the same God as our God?! I doubt it's coincidence that Abraham was the father of three major religions. I doubt it was coincidence that some of Jesus' sayings were similar to Buddha's.
TO EACH HIS OWN, okay??
Quit judging me for what I believe.
Call me a blasphemer, but take that damn log out of your own eye before telling me I've got a speck in mine.
