First of all let's get something straight, in no way am I against Christianity or Christians. In fact, I was baptized sophomore year in high school and I felt extremely connected to the church as I started playing guitar, piano, singing, leading worship, etc. But all of that slowly died out as I felt myself drifting away from the church. It wasn't that God had forsaken me or whatnot. What drove me away from the church were the people within the church. The longer I spent in the church the more I felt like the people in there were solely there so they could tell other people that they attend church. No longer was church a holy place, rather it was a place for people to go in order to brag that they are indeed spiritual and encompass this "good or holy" connotation. Don't get me wrong, there are people in the church that really do strive to fit the definition of what Christianity is; however, the ones that don't, are only there for acquisition of social status. These actions driven by the self-centered thought process of humanity is what has corrupted the church today. And this is why I have chosen to remove myself from certain churches (err... I'm not going to say which one but I think it's pretty obvious).
When it comes down to it, it doesn't even matter if you're Christian or not. Just because you're a Christian it doesn't mean you're automatically a good person. In fact, I've met a lot of people whom aren't Christians that are better people then the "Christians" that I do know. I'm just saying that if you're even going to bother to go to church, do it because you believe, not because of societal pressures (yes, this includes the pressures induced by parental figures).
Sorry that was on my mind, so I had to get it down in writing.
I can't decide if I want to go to dinner with some guy. Suggestions anyone? Hopefully I'll find a way to get out of this before tonight.
vacuum & drink tea <3
