God is Love

Just few words about Christians. I was raised in a very religious  family and I have a lot of respect for religious people of all faiths. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a member of any orginised religious group anymore, because that would limit my connection

sweetie, I've been thinking a lot about these things and there's a good chance you might not like what I have to say.

But isn't this act (I am just trying to throw the moneylenders and the hypocrites and the homophobes out of the temple) the same thing as what they are doing to you?

Everyone should be accepted in the church regardless of whether or not they are homosexuals or homophobic. Throwing out one group doesn't make it better.

i agree...kinda. heres the thing... to quote one of my favorite comedians "this kind of christian has no right to call themselves christian... because they have no christ-like nature to them"

whatever happened to love the sinner hate the sin (if you believe it's a sin in the first place)?

My biggest issue with organized religions in general is just how many people of supposed faith are really hypocritical.

I am not Christian, nor have I ever been. Nor have I ever claimed to be, in all honesty. A woman that I used to work with a few years ago once asked me, point-blank, what my faith was. So I told her. Her immediate response? "You know you're going to Hell, don't you?" Good gods, but people like that irritate me.

More recently, I've been asked by some patrons of the cafe I work in whether or not I go to church. I told them yes, because it's true - but my definition of church isn't their definition of church. To them, it's a place with a preacher and possibly a lot of crosses. To me, much of life is a church... and has more to teach than any one person can.

Anyway, I ramble. And as a side note, I really like your icon.

The comment was directed at this girl I know, she thinks that by acting like a gay man I'll go out with her. But I don't like people pretending that they are what they aren't it's not something that I find attractive. I hope you didn't think that that was directed at you.
