I really hate these people. The ones who go to church, dress like grannies, and think music is a sin. Even if they aren't convinced that people who wear skirts above the knee or use rough language are the spawns of Satan, a few people I know really need to settle down.
I've told you about Shawnna. She is a perfect example of a Hypocrite Christian. She thinks she is such a good little girl; she doesn't swear, doesn't show her midriff, she opposes alcohol and pre-marital sex, and she goes to church on Sundays. Her and her mother get along great. They share the same views and beliefs on everything. She only listens to music that would never have a parental advisory sticker. She is involved in ice-skating, works at Wal-Mart, and loves fluffy animals and Tigger (haha bitch I said Tigger!!! Are you gonna cry now??). Sounds like a wonderful young lady.
WRONG!! She, like many other "wonderful young ladies", is a hypocrite Christian. She gossips, usually about her cousin (who I have to agree sounds like a bitch). She doesn't gossip so much in the sense of "Did you hear about so-and-so. Now don't tell anyone I told you!" It's more like she judges people on things she hears and/or assumes (another huge character flaw) and then tries to pursued others to think that way. Likewise, if she is told some irrelevant piece of info from a greatly bias source, she takes it as the word of God himself and twists it around in her mind, over-analyizing every detail until it sounds just horrible. She then passes her belief on to anyone and everyone and if they don't agree with her, then she cannot be around them, for they are bad people.
Don't get me wrong, I encourage free thinking and expressing individual opinions. What I strongly oppose is those who scorn at those who are a little different from them and do all in their power to create a band of people who oppose them because they "aren't good clean Christians". How Christian is it to make hasty judgments about people you have never talked to and say untrue things about them in an attempt to ruin their reputation? (Please see "Why Shawnna is A bitch" for more information on this example.)
With the presidential debates heating up, our government class has been talking a lot about gay marriage. You don't even want to bring things like that up in there. This hardcore Christian lady gets very wound up about everything. Absolutely everything is a reason for her top press her religious beliefs on us. I'm very glad that she is so sure in her faith. A lot of people seem ashamed to talk about Jesus when not in church, so I have to give her props for that. However, she starts hollering about stuff that doesn't even pertain to what the Professor is teaching. We are there to learn about government, not her interpretation of the Bible.
How can anyone who is such a "Good Christian" sit there and say that gay people are going to hell and they need to repent for their sins and blah blah blah? I personally know that I don't wish to have a sexual relationship with, nor marry, another female. If someone else wants to, far be it from me to tell them they can't. I have never been gay, therefore I do not know if it is a choice or not. Perhaps some "homosexuals" are confusing the love they feel for a friend of the same gender for the kind they might one day feel for someone of the opposite. It's impossible to know what love is until you feel it for real. Of course, maybe they really are attracted to the same gender, and rightly so. I don't know. I have never felt that way. But I worry about me. I don't waste my energy worrying about if someone else is going to hell. God will decide that. It's not my problem. I pride myself on having an open mind and being very accepting of different views and ways of life. Sure, there are things in society that I don't agree with, and as a result, I don't practice them. I don't scream down people's throat if they do.
One argument that annoys the shit out of me is "If God wanted homosexuality, it would have been Adam and Steve." Excuse me, but where would that have gotten us? They can't have kids! He did what was best for the sake of populating the Earth. And anyway, he only made two people. That doesn't mean that was the only choices. That's like saying that the first Cow he made was white, and so all the rest of the cows should be white also. The brown ones, or the ones with spots...They aren't real cows. I understand that is a appearance thing, and homosexuality isn't/ the point I'm trying to make is that there is a large variety of things on this planet, and they are not all exactly as they were at the time of creation. Different kinds have came about from one central kind.
***Let me make one final note. I admit, I have not read the entire Bible, I do not know what it says on homosexuality, and I'm sure there are many interpretations of whatever it says. DO NOT let yourself be so stuck on a small part of what I say. The idea of this post is that people who think they are so 'pure' yet they are close-minded hypocrites who refuse to respect their fellow man (or woman) are not so "good" in my opinion. Ruining a strangers reputation, to me, seems a lot worse than what one may do in their personal time.
