religious or spiritual?
I read some stuff from some people I like on the whole religious issue and at first I was hurt by it and then I got angry, not at the people, but at the perception of what I believe. So I decided to come here and vent a little bit. Maybe a lot so we'll see. It's my blog so I can do what I want.....RIGHT?????
Maybe someone can tell me WHAT THE HELL IS ORGANIZED RELIGION??????????
I know I've been caught up saying (and I wish you could hear my smart ass tone) "I don't like organized religion". Well tell me of any group that does not have organization. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! It's the law baby ducks.
OMG.... a cussing Christian, yeah so go ahead and judge me or call me a hypocrite, but I'm not telling you not to cuss. I think we have all been hypocrytical at some time or another. It just so happens that a church or Christians seem to be the first ones to get the label or when discussing hypocrites it always seems to do with religion.
My mom used to make me clean my room, do chores, go to school, get a job and do lots of things I didn't like. So what. I was a good little Catholic girl for my first 3 years of school and always did what I was told, even to the point of being abused (not by my parents or church people). Then, when my parents could no longer afford it we went to public school and my mom bussed us off to a Baptist church on Sundays, which my friends and I kindly ditched to go smoke cigarettes behind the building. And my point is???????
Anyway, yes religion by itself sucks and kills people and is soooooooo boring. But it's the Spirit of God that infuses the words and brings life to them to help people or get them saved or whatever you want to call it. So just remember this. Not all "churches or church people are messed up". Why throw the baby out with the bath water? So go ahead and preach to me, but make sure the leading and the Spirit is there. I've been killed enough. And by the way preaching is nothing more than ministering, or helping. Isn't that what we do here?!?!?! Different perceptions I suppose.
Oh and one more thing Jesus wasn't the weak sweetie weeite a lot of people think he was. He got angry and in your face plenty of times even to the point of taking out his anger physically. And he wouldn't put up with whiners. So there.
Wow, feeling awfully smart assed today, but I do feel better!!!!!!!!!!
