Old stuff

Consistancy or the Lack therof.



I can't stand his "more militant than thou attitude".... or healthier than thou, holier, smarter, kinder than thou etc...


There is something that has always disgusted me to my core: liars. Not so much in the sense that they lie-- but in the sense that they are phony, pretentious and putting on a show.

Mainly holy liars.

A woman recently said that she didn't hear boys saying dirty things until college. (don't guys usually outgrow talking dirty by college? Some immature guys that would be). I would like to tell you that is a lie. Little boys always talked about dirty things-- and they will continue to-- and even if they don't say it-- a lot of times they laugh at it and are conspirators in filth.

Then there are the people who don't even realize they lie. Their actions and words and even their other actions are not in congruence... or even similar.

They want to pass out pamphlets about the "good news"-- and yet not actually live as though they know the good news. Hey, what is the good news? The good news is that someone loves you, forgives you, and takes you for just who you are. Not when you are perfect... not when you are white... not when you look like me... not when you dress like me... not when you laugh like me... not when you flirt like me.. but when you are who you are, no more, no less who you are.

They want to talk about acceptance. They don't want to exercise it. It's like people who sit on their couches and watch the exercise channel. good luck with that one.

OR they want to raise money to help single moms in crisis... but when there is someone... right in front of them... who they know but with whom they don't agree their lifestyle... they passively criticise and are mad when other's help because the single mom isn't perfect or deserving enough of their money, time, love and prayers.

Or like the adult who lets another child be forced into finding a dress in a color that doesn't exist in a way that would fit her well.

I will tell you one thing that I know for truth: You can't confuse God with People. If you do that, your faith is fed to lions. If you do that, you become a bitter God/Christian hating Californian. You can't confuse God with self righteous, self serving behavior-- or you will be sorely dissapointed in that hole in your life. There is that hole.

Something else: God does not have a club. He doesn't have standards. A club, an exclusive little club. God is not a club. If you want to join a club try to make enough money and go apply at RCC or Forest Hills. If you want to be in a little exclusive group... start working your buns off to be more successful. If you want to be in a club-- church isn't the place to be in that club. There are no standards for the love of God-- and there should have to be standards for the acceptance by others who claim to be like God.

Want to be in a club-- go start one. But please, don't do it in the name of God. Don't do God any more favors and destroy his name.

It is exhausting to expect people to not be so.... mean.



It is like the women who offer gossip in the form of prayer requests and concern. Not someone I respect. Just be honest. Not a big fat liar.

Don't tell me that, I don't even want to hear it.
