What is playing on the iPod? All Over Me by Drowning Pool
I started this blog with the intent of furthering my writing. Today, I am utilizing my tiny portion of cyberspace to bitch. I have a couple of people in my life who I hold very dear that are gay. One of which I have only known for the past nine months yet I feel like he has been a dear friend my entire life. This particular friend has an opinion of organized religion that I completely agree with, but I fear that the religious zealots that use the name of God and Jesus to promote hate are winning out. That pisses me off to the nth degree. If one would chose to dive into researching God, they would find that yes, there are things that are frowned upon (check the 10 commandments) but at the end of the day, for all of our differences, we were all created by Him. I know that pisses people in the religious right off all day long but it is true. It is not just one small forgiven section of society that God loves. He loves us all.
I have been on my friend's Facebook page and periodically see evidence of how people hiding under the veil of religious integrity have left him jaded. No wonder. Aggravated? You better believe it. How dare anyone, and I mean anyone, judge someone else. We all sin, we all have committed acts we are going to have to answer for and I sure as hell do not want one of mine to be condemning anyone else. God knows I have enough other things I am going to have to account for.
Here is a suggestion. Anytime you want to spread the Word of God and the Gift of His Son, how about remembering that God loves us all. Regardless of geological location, ethnicity, sexual orientation, whatever. He loves us all.
I promise, the next one will be about writing. Yesterday, I managed to write 3500 words and I was so excited when I was done, I did not want to turn off my word processing program. That is when I know everything is going in the right direction. So have a wonderful, non-judgmental day.
Until next time.
