What's Really Unsettling...

A blog I recently posted on Myspace:

In an ever growing-ever evolving cult of Christians, I find I'm only being shoved further and further away from God.

I came across another blog today that reads much the same way as every other blog professing about God, "I'm waiting for God to show me the way," "God will answer my prayers as long as they come from the heart," "God has one person set apart for me." Blah blah blah. You get the idea, I'm sure.

First and foremost, I love God with all my heart. I see myself as being a very strong Christian. Sure, I make mistakes, but I'm only human. But I can admit to my faults. I know right from wrong. And I have a lot of love to give.

But come on people, OPEN YOUR EYES. Didn't God give us free will? We have the ability to choose. So get off your behinds and make things happen for yourself. Why are you so dependant on God for everything? Yes, I believe God answers prayers. But I'm not going to sit around and wait for Him to make things happen for me. God knows what I need. And I fully trust that He will help me out along the way. But I'm going to use my free will and ability to choose that He granted me and set forth actions that will better myself and others.

If He granted you the ability to choose, why are you waiting around for the "one"? Wake up. There is no "one." There are many people that you can be happy with. How do you think widows remarry? Are you telling me that their second spouse is less important than the first? Or are they expected to live alone because their "one" has passed on?

Now, I'm not saying you have to run around and date as many people as possible. But, you could possibly be missing out on someone great if you're completely opposed to the idea. Never settle. That I can agree with. But you have to give people the chance to show you how wonderful they can be.

I remember a skit from Bible school as a kid. God spoke to a girl on the phone and told her that He was going to come over for dinner and pay her a visit. She was so excited once she got off of the phone. She immediately started preparing a feast and getting ready. Then, she heard a knock on the door. It was a poor old beggar. He kindly asked her if she could spare a bit of bread. She hastily shooed him away stating that she was waiting on an important guest. A little while later, she recieved another phone call. It was God. She asked when she should be expecting him. He replied, "But I already paid you a visit, and you sent me away saying you were expecting someone more important." It's crazy to me that I even remember this skit. I was nothing more than 6 or 7 years old. But think on it. Maybe God has already sent someone your way. You were just too blind to see that they were a blessing from God. This goes for more than just romantic relationships. It could be friends, coworkers... people you didn't give the time of day because they appeared to be beneath you. Whether they didn't dress the same, didn't listen to the same music, or had made bad decisions in the past that you chose to judge them based off of.

I get so sick of ranting. But open your eyes people. Why do you think there is such a wall between believers and non believers today? I can't believe you have the audacity to say some of the things you do. Half the times, your thoughts don't even make sense.



But that's enough for now. I'm off to Pride Fest. Feel free to tell me how homosexuals don't have feelings and are damned to hell if you get the chance.
