You know what? We as a human race need to get over being politically correct.
You know what I mean?
We are so worried about offending and excluding people that whole religions are created that are supposed to make everyone feel good and happy.
Well life isn't like that. You can't feel good and happy all the time. Shit happens, and if you don't have a solid rock to stand on, then what happens?
I guess I'm biased. But a religion where you can have no god, many gods, a nature god, be atheist, agnostic, whatever you want, all in one congregation.. that just seems confusing to me! I mean, when I go to a church, I want to know that the people whom I'm turning to for advice are going to give me advice that I can really truly take, since we share the same beliefs.
Faith isn't about making people happy. You can't make everyone happy all at once.
No matter what you do, your going to piss someone off. By saying that you accept all beliefs, your being a pushover. Isn't that funny?
If you don't go with the flow, you're a stuck-up, close-minded conservative fundimentalist. And yet, if you do go with the flow, you're a push-over, who doesn't know where they stand.
Well.. I know where I stand.
I am a Christian.
God is real, He created this world, and me. I was not an accident. He loves me, just the way I am, but he wants me to grow and mature and be a better person

I cuss. I don't know where I stand on gay marriage. I think that abortion is wrong. I believe that a woman DOES have a choice. She has the choice to either use birth control, or not have sex if she's not ready for a baby. Because that is a by-product of sex. Babies. Take RESPONSIBILITY for your actions!!! - But I digress. I believe that we need to love people, no matter who they are-gay, straight, bi, democrat, republican, black, white, Asian, East Indian, Mexican, Canadian :-P.
I am a Christian.
I can be hypocritical. I can be judgemental. I fail. I'm not perfect.
But I follow a God who is. He preaches love. He preaches standing apart from the world. He preaches a narrow path. It's not a wide road, full of choices. It's one choice, one path, single file. He preaches forgviness. He preaches jealousy-HE is jealous of the world. Isn't that funny? He is a jealous, possesive person. He is a husband. He wants us to love Him and only Him.
And He doesn't ask much. And really, what he asks is not that hard! Some people don't like all the rules... But without rules, what happens? What happens to that child who never got told no, and always got their way? They turn into spoiled, discontent people, who can never be happy because the world is not fair, and they can't get their way.
Is that really the kind of people we want to be? Hopping from religion to religion when the one we were currently following doesn't make us happy anymore?
I don't think so.
