This ain't a common thing for me to do, so be sure to read the other religion section too. — Monday, 05 June 2006
Bet you didn't see that one coming....lol
I saw a sign today, saying spreading the gospel from nation to nation. I thought it said spamming when I first read it. I thought it was funny until I looked closer. But ohwell. That means I can make my own sign like that without it being the same as someone else's.
However people want to do it I guess. I think that is about the only part of the bible worth listining to anyway, wether religious or not. It goes back to that age old question- What would Jesus do?
I seems like the world would be a more pleasant place if people lived by that sort of philosiphy. It bothers me when I hear about all these people claiming to do stuff because they are "christian" and being judgmental about other people and their beliefs and ways. Because atleast from the many times I have read that part of the bible, ( I might have forgotten or missed the part ) it seems like he was not a judmental person. He didn't bother the people who were working on sunday, and he sat at the table with the sinners. He seemed all about being part of their lives, and influinceing people by his good example. Not threats of violence, violence, incarceration, or stuff like that. Seems like the basic message was love thy neihbor as you would yourself. Like the whole golden rule thing. Why can't we just respect other people, thier lifestyles, beliefs, etc. and do our best to improve ourselves so we stand out as shining examples that motivate people to follow us?
The plank and the sawdust thing. But hey, people like to pick out the things that justify the thoughts and ways they allready live by, Instead of following the basic common sense, part of it. As I guesse I have just done in the preceding. So I guess I'm just as much of a hypocrite as anyone else......
