I cannot for the life of me understand how some church folk could feel that being a part of an organization that helps our community is forbidden or is somehow against christian principles. Whatever happened to the scriptures in Matthew 25:37-45? Its like some church folk miss that scripture! My question to them is always this: Are you serving the poor or those less fortunate than yourself? If not you might want to read Matt 25:37-45. They usually leave me alone then  |
It's really sad to say and some may not like this but the truth is that there are a whole lot of church folk who could benefit from reading a book or two besides the Bible. NOT ALL, but some Christians are the most uneducated and narrow minded people I think I've ever met in my life. Beyond spewing Bible verses, many of them really don't have a clue about what God REALLY wants from us, what being a Christian REALLY means beyond the dogma and propaganda that man has created, and without the many different interpretations of others. Nor do they understand the needs of human beings, this thing called Life, the CHOICES that God has given us, the Sciences, and the World in general. The overwhelming amount of self-righteousness, hypocrisy, and ignorance is the reason that I don't belong to a congregation today. I have a great relationship with God but I don't need or want these people around me.
All I have to say to these org members that are allowing these people to influence them by denouncing their organizations is that if you look in your heart, you'll find the answers you seek. How can something that fills you up so much on the inside...things like having sisterhood and brotherhood, things like serving others in need, how can it be wrong? Can you make CHOICES and decide not to be the wild and crazy frat brother or the promiscuous sorority girl? you sure can. Can you control what everyone does in your organization or church congregation? NO! The bottom line is that NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM BEING THE GODLY PERSON YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE no matter what organization you belong to.
As you can tell, I'm a little pissed.
People need to have minds of their own.
