on myspace,it says i'm "christian" and i don't know if i like that label
in my experience,the word "christian" has so many negative connotations
i've met people who refuse to go to church because of the way some "christians" have behaved the whole, 'go to *my* church or go to hell' and the turn or burn spiel... it's ridiculous
that's not what jesus was about
jesus was about LOVE
he was about loving anyone and everyone who came across his path,and even those who didn't
he was a loving dude and to think that he hung on that cross and thought of me is just mind blowing
he wasn't thinking,'that stupid whitney..she'll never get it right..dang her for bringing me here...sinner..i can't stand that kid.'
he was thinking,'oh,my beautiful daughter,whitney.i love her so much.i'm doing this so she can know my father.i'm doing this so she can know freedom.'
if i'm going to claim the title "christian",i'm going to have to change my attitude.
because i haven't been very loving lately. i've been pretty rude,actually
there's one person in particular
he's kind of douchey
but if i loved him the way i love my friends maybe he wouldn't be so douchey...
because maybe douchey,like beauty,is in the eye of the beholder
i don't know...this was all a bit more organized before i was sick...
i think the point i'm trying to make is that christianity shouldn't be all old testament 'thou shalt not' and 'thou shall'
because,i mean,christianity is about christ,am i right?
and christ wasn't about condemning people or putting them down
haha,dogma quote:
"christ didn't come to earth to give us the willies.he came to help us out!he was a booster!"
but srsly LOVE is the weapon
