seriously. everyone.
watch this movie.
it's really really really really good.
two thumbs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayp.
it really makes you think alot
about race. and how we treat each
other.
really good, really intence.
ashley wyatt really liked it too.
michael's got a nu lady friend.
i thought she was 40 but she's
really 20.
OHHH another thing.
recently in my neighboring
state of south carolina a 31 year old
babtist minister got in front of his
church, and told them.
that if they were democrats, or voted
for john kerry. that they either had to
repent of their "sins" or leave the church.
the minister sited the sins of
homosexuality and abortion as his
claims for removal. 8 people were put
through the process of excommunication.
40 more left in protest.

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?????
WHAT????????
????? WHY??????
it hurts me, to no end to hear such
a story come out.
does it surprise me?
yes. maybe it shouldn't... but i thought
better of the church, perhaps...
i grew up in the church. i've seen family
members removed from churches...
i've seen family members wedged out of
their pastorial positions under clouds of
secrecy, even to us.
but why this? why such a vile and evil thing
as this? why kick people out?
why politics?
the church is simply a group of people
coming together for fellowship.
for a group of people coming
together to discuss their faith and to
be accepted for their beleifs, and loved
(most importantly of all. loved)
this is hatred. this is gross and discusting
politics. this isn't right.
we're better than that, as
christians. we're better than that
as people.
