My view on religion
I will start off saying I'm Christian. Not the go-to-church-every-sunday kind but the find my own way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz41Y-4dttg here's basically my thing also. I don't like the preaching of don't do this and don't do that and only if you convince enough people will you get into Heaven. I believe in the loving God not the judge. Yes I live my life with morals but I believe in forgiveness not blame. I also don't think cramming Jesus down peoples throats will help. A lot of my friends might not know that I'm Christian but the ones that do know how serious I am about it.
I bring people to God in obtuse ways. I also go to a sort of "alternative" church for "people who don't do church". This is the kind of church where they tell you to reach into the offering bucket if you need grocery money or gas money to get to work. And you know where the money is going to because they tell you and they show the progress they make. http://www.crossing-church.com/ There are quite a few people calling the Crossing a cult, possibly because they accept recovering addicts and the people are willing to volunteer their free time to see this church succeed.
Reasons why The Crossing Church is a cult
1) People get hooked to coming to church and keep returning
2) They get tons of donations
3) They play rock music at the services
4) They have support groups for recovering addicts and other "unsavory characters"
Honestly it's all a load of B.S. and I'm not saying everyone who goes to more traditional churches are all this way but when something works and just clicks for a large group of people it has to be a cult right? No the exact opposite, The Crossing accepts you no matter what they want you to get connected so you can feel apart of something bigger. One of the main human needs is to feel a part of something.
Wow... this kind of turned into a rant... awkward...
Basically I'm Christian but I believe everyone has a right to live their life how they want. However when you are against a certain group like Christians or Agnostics I think you need to realize there are other people like you just on the other side.
I don't know why humans have to have conflict. I know this sounds naive but I really do just wish people could accept everyone else. Granted there are exceptions like rapists, serial killers, KKK etc. But to say a certain group of people are "wrong" for what they believe is absurd.
For Christians: Can you for sure prove they're going to hell? No? Then shut your mouth and mind your own business
For Atheists: Can you FOR SURE prove there's no God? No? Then same to you
For people like me who don't give a shit what other people think? High five. If there were more people like you we wouldn't have all this bullshit fighting going on.
Since I'm on controversial topics should I do gay marriage or abortion next? I'm not having any comments so I assume maybe I'll make someone a little red in the face. Hate comments would be nice all others would be even better... :)
Signing off :3
P.S. Just paid the first bit of this car off today
The one on the left is more what the car I'm getting looks like. Dinky I know but it works better then the pile of shit my ex has right now with "charger" spray painted on the side beat up covered with duct tape. :P
