Blogging time again. And this time I'm pretty pissed. I went to a youth rally tonight at Michigan Hights. There was a movie they showed that just reinforced how much the christian community over emphasizes that "lost" people are going to hell. It makes me mad because THEY GET THE POINT ALREADY!!!! Jesus was not about scare tactics although he talked about hell but the point of his death was not only to keep people out of there but to give people a gateway to have a relationship with God. It really makes me angry how often and how cliche christians sit and scream "You're going to hell so get saved." It just got me riled up. I was depressed going in there (which made no sense because I have no reason to be) and now I'm just plain irritated which is a classic symptom of depression, easy irritation. I wasn't just irritated I was immiensly frustrated and angy. I think there is something deeper here but as I say I don't know what. God has something he wants to show me through all of this I'm sure of it. Because I can't see the futre I don't know what. I have spent gaps in writing talking with my dad about some of this and his sermon this past Sunday and he told me it was unbiblical to vote Kerry. I tried to use an argument a friend of mine used and I said "God could tell you that to see if you would obey him." He replied with "God wouldn't tell you do something that is against his word because Bush stands for Godly principles and Kerry supports abortion and civil union" Anyway guys there is something underlying as to why I am being the way I am right now and please pray that God reaveals it to beacuse I'm in a world of hurt and confusion right now.
