This person sounds like they use Christianity as a crutch. I hope his views do not keep you from exploring spiritual life.

I know first hand about little social Christian cliques. I still face them, but I have chosen to explore Christianity on my own. The much deeper side. It is fine to question God, and there are always doubts, but that is what makes Christianity so much more fulfilling. It is fascinating and challenging all at the same time.

But that's just a random comment from me. I am always up for discussion.

yeah, however... isayidontknow October 4 2004, 12:59:53 UTC

I've already explored spiritual life. In fact, during my early adolescent years all the way up until I was 18 or 19, I was in church everytime the door was open. I played in the church band, I went on the trips, I did it all. I didn't do 'this' b/c church said it was bad, or, i didnt do 'that' b/c church said it was wrong. Well, I got older, discovered that not everything church said was bad is actually bad (i.e. drinking, etc...). So, I've matured a bit and formed my own opinions on life. The best part about it is, I now live the way I do b/c I choose to, not b/c someone else said I should. I'm very firm in my convictions on this due to life experiences, etc...

but thanks for the post.

I totally respect you for that! Not a lot of people are firm with their convictions. What you perceive and believe is all that matters in the end. Just keep an open mind.

And I forgot to mention in that last post how much that guy's quote about John Lennon angered me. I adore Lennon! He was a genius, and certainly the most amazing artist to ever grace this earth.

My how you have changed. I wish you wouldn't use this person as an example for hardcore christian kids though, not all of us are like that, in fact I don't think any of us are like that....that kid is just an egotistical sadist. You know me...well you used to. I hope you know I'm not like that. I'm not preaching, I'm just surprised that you're saying this.

well... isayidontknow October 4 2004, 15:03:23 UTC

sorry

"Being a young Christian these days is all about your little fucking social clique. It's all about what fucking t-shirt you are wearing or what cool fucking underground band you know."

As I recall, David, you used to be like that.

I find it ironic that you, the person who first let me listen to Christian hardcore music (which in turn led me to be a stronger Christian and stronger person in general), is now totally against everything you stood for.

I'm sorry that you feel this way about Chris. Like he said, it was a joke. I know what you're thinking, 'How could someone who claims to be a Christian joke about stuff like that.' Put it this way...He was showing how some stupid people really feel about this situations. Some people do think it's 'metal' for a baby to be aborted. I guess Chris should have made his LJ 'friends only' so no one would be offended by anything, because all of his friends, and anyone who knows anything about Chris Robinson, knows that he is a great person and a true follower of Jesus Christ who never means to ( ... )

First and foremost, I do respect your opinion and everyone else's opinion on the great mystery of religion and God. I believe people should live in a manner that gives them happiness and purpose. Some people choose the path of Christianity, Buddhism, atheism, etc. (the list goes on forever...) I believe that each of these paths are the correct for an individual if they make that person happy. Everyone is different, however, everyone has two things in common: we all die and not one of us on this Earth actually knows what happens or has seen what happens when we cross over from life to death ( ... )

"There is no way on Earth anyone would have known those were jokes"

"And yes, live journal's are a public forum where anyone can view and respond."

I agree and that is what my apology is based on. It was ignorant of me to not think that through, but what can i say besides I'm sorry.
It should have been obvious that people i didn't know would not know i was kidding, but it just didn't cross my mind. And I'm not just sorry that you stumbled on the journal and saw those jokes. I'm genuinly sorry that i made them in a public forum. That may have catapulted me into a new level of dooshbaggery, but like i said, I'm sorry and I hope no hard feelings.
