he said until i stopped beleveing him
"It never ceases to amaze me how people who profess to be Christian can be so un-Christian"
quoted from towleroad.com in an article about marriage equality vote in Maine, it did not pass.
This quote, I found on the nations largest gay men's blog. This quote I could not specifically say who said it now but, it was in regards to the election results in Maine a few weeks ago pertaining to referendum 1. This was a marriage equality act that would have made LGBT United States citizens of the state of Maine, more closely equal to the rest of the citizens who do not have to worry about the automatic things that come to the heteros out there.
After reading this quote in the context of the article I found the quote "It never ceases to amaze me how people who profess to be Christian can be so un-Christan" to be so ironic after hearing these sames words coming from a completely different voice. The irony kills me inside, only vaguely, I am only stronger for it now.
Week in and out for the better part of the last two years and some months I would hear this same statement made. I suppose with good intention, this was only for a while, the good intention wore off and evoked of a cow who magically get hits by a truck and then venturing back to the same street to get hit once again by a different car. The cow is clearly dazed after the first time being hit, out of it, slightly injured, but not dead. It gets hit a second time, and it is clearly injured, maybe even borderline of dying at this point, there is a good chance it would still be alive until the next time it gets hit by a car. I suppose this all has to do with the speed and mass of the cow and vehicles, really unimportant to the picture I am trying to paint. From the mouth of this person this statement was condemning and pointed, maybe to inspire people to become a "Better Christian". Was the statement "Christian"? It did not really make me want to be a better christian.
In the article on towleroad.com. The quote is from a mans speech after finding out that Referendum 1 was not passed. This speech was in sad defeat. He was wondering where the love of our Lord Jesus Christ was in a vote like this. I wonder this myself. His plea was is despiration. Was his statement "Christian"?
both of these small stories have the same message with different intents. Who is right? I may never march in the infantry...shoot the artillery, zoom over the enemy...but i am in the Lords army, yes sir. As much as we may not want it religion has always been separate but always a big part of government. We see this with "christian political organizations" like, Focus on the Family, The Christian Coalition, and The Moral Majority. Who is really the "Better Christian"? Maybe the question is; who can make themselves more powerful, and thats how to be the best christian? From pointed to desperate plea, are both these men professing to be christian and both being equally un-christian? I would like to be the judge, as we all do, declare one right and the other so wrong they are sentenced to hell, I am not the judge and i will not judge. I will be confused and disappointed until i find the answers to these questions.
With in our holy cannoned scriptures we so desperately long for black and white and right and wrong. On one side of the book God calls Israel to kill in His name on the other side of the book Jesus says to turn the other cheek. I do not think the black and white exist, gray on the other hand does.
I still find it hard to believe the first man and for this I am very sorry.
How about Ke$ha, she will always cheer you up
