As for me.....

There is an analogy that goes 'You can sit in the garage all day and you still wont be a car. You can sit in church all day and you still wont be a Christian.' It saddens me that some who claim to be Christian are mean, short-sighted, and bigoted. I am unapologetic about being Christian and it is a big part of my life. I will tell you what my idea of being Christian is without saying 'we or our beliefs'. This is my own personal journey. Because I believe that God is the Creator of all, then I must also believe that all are my brothers and sisters. They are to be loved, respected, and cared for. Bottom line. Period. Not saying that I will like them all, or agree with them all. But, I have found nothing that says that I am only care for the most beautiful, most intelligent, most wealthy, most straight . Nowhere have I read that others must join my club to be my brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, it is often the toxic, deranged, fake Christians that are the loudest, and most visible. Yet, I can find no reference of a time when Jesus tried to publically humiliate or insult anyone. He would show up, people would gather to listen, then He would move on. He never made up signs and asked the disciples to parade around shouting insults. The Bible is a reference guide that gives us some history and some lessons on how we are to treat each other. It was never intended to be used to beat anyone over the head with! So, if you were to ask me, "Why did God do this, or do that? Why does He let children suffer? Towns be destroyed by flood?"......Although I have opinions I do not claim to all the answers. But, as for me, I have chosen to be loved by God, and in turn, I try to be caring for others. I guess my point for all this rambling on is that I don't want people to be turned off from Christianity because of the fake Christians. And, one thing that I am positive of...if someone says to you,'I cannot love you because you are gay or lesbian', that person is not a Christian.

Cool
