Um. I used to be the one saying, "Whate...Ya. Um. I used to be the one saying, "Whatever! I"m fine. The bible is boring. I'm a good person. Let me whoo you with my magically eloquent (albeit, stupid but I didn't know it) words to convince you that this Jesus you're trying to sell me is a bunch of crap and the way I am living is just fine. I feed the homeless, I care for children who are victims of parental methamphetamine use, I have friends from all walks of life, etc. etc. blah, blah, blah." Hmmmmm...... I think I have probably even thought some of those things (mostly the latter) more recently than I would ever want to admit out loud (though I think I just did). The point of this ridiculous babbling? You are an inspiration for your boldness in discussing, and standing up for, the one true thing(ahem, person?) that really matters. I love you and am privelaged to know you. And I better be grateful for forgiveness after admitting my stupidity here!MARIAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01369701190095259940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411124129075353401.post-64946081437971851122011-10-26T08:23:45.338-07:002011-10-26T08:23:45.338-07:00floors of gold,

Excellent!<br /><br />I am a former Evangelical Christian *gasp* and then I did exactly what you suggested and researched all of my problems with religion...or Christianity in particular. I left the church due to my findings as I was actually horrified at what I found.<br /><br />However, I did not give up on God. I still believe in the One True God, Jehovah, and live to serve Him. It is a long, complicated story, but I totally agree with you that people do need to research what they fight against. <br /><br />First of all, you must understand the enemy to have the winning edge in a battle...whether it is with swords, words or the mind. Second of all...you may find out that after the research is done you do not have as much against something as you thought...or at the very least your original conslusions will be justified.<br /><br />Again, excellent post! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. :)Floors Of Goldhttp://www.floorsofgold.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411124129075353401.post-20489430136678241322011-10-20T14:51:39.274-07:002011-10-20T14:51:39.274-07:00Amen.

Christians aren't any better than anyone else, we are just grateful to be forgiven. This is a perfect way to express your thoughts, Melyssa.

Those who think they have all the answers are the scary ones you should never trust with anything short of a good bread recipe.

It's kinda funny how sometimes non-Christians accuse Christians of being judgemental, yet they make judgements about Christianity based on the imperfect people they know. Thank you for sharing this.
