Two days ago I went bowling with Tom and Harry, and out of the three games we all played, I beat both of them twice! And, I beat Tom all three times, I also won over all and had the best stats with about a 0.39. If you know me, you'll know that I'm not naturally that competitive, I just like to play, and that's what's fun. But, Tom is obsessive when it comes to winning, so it was nice to wipe the floor with him. When we went mini golfing he beat me by one stroke... I feel that it's my duty to the world to diminish his gigantic ego from time to time; also, with his head size almost inhibiting him from using normal sized doors, I'm doing it for his own good.
I promise.
: )
Yesterday I did a power point for one of my classes, one of those, "getting to know you," projects, and because I have little other than my nephew in my life I care very deeply about, I devoted two of the six slides to my blogs...
When I told Tom about it, he asked if he had been in it, and while I had actually considered it, I had decided not to since we literally have no photos together. And I did it about my family. Tom may be pretty special, but we're not family.
Speaking of Tom and family...
Society makes me laugh, but for the main purpose to avoid crying. People are depressing, it's a wonder it took me this long to need therapy, I must have had my eyes closed for a really long time.
Christianity is based on the fundamentals that God is God, and he is perfect, and his word is law; redeeming yes, but law.
The golden rule states that we are to love others as we love ourselves.
So, by the transitive property, Christians should be the most loving, accepting, understanding, and caring group of people on the planet. Right?
But, as we all know, they are the most judgemental, hateful, stubborn, stuck up people. It makes me very sad to think that they share the same belief system with me, but live such hypocritical lives.
Just an observation.
This doesn't diminish my opinions of Tom's family. I still really like them, and like I said, it does make me laugh.
I don't know. I think Christians get some unearned contempt thrown their way. If intolerance and hypocrisy are your complaints, I can think of another religion that beats Christianity three ways from Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhile you're entitled to your opinion, it's not a fair assessment.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are Christians who are intolerant, judgmental, and all those things that make other Christians look like backward thinking morons, BUT there are also the real, kind, caring awesome Christians who make the world a better place.
Just a little something to think about.
It's a broad observation for sure, and as with most things, the bad apples always get the majority of the attention.
ReplyDeleteI tend to be melodramatic too, but mostly I think it goes back to the blog being my way to vent. :)
