God, music, sex, drugs, and booze
so alot of the time i find myself endlessly indulging in my Wikipedia addiction. well i today i searched for "contemporary christian music" and it had a little sub point about the controversy with this kind of music in some modern churches. It said that some churches didn't like the idea of having these kind of songs(not always hymns) played during their services because they associate it with rock and roll music. Basically because it can be played on a mainstream radio station it must have anything and everything to do with sex, drugs, alcohol, and other forms of debotchery. Well i think that is a huge load of crap. First off God's love isn't exclusive, its extended to all of mankind. Whether it is returned is another story. But His love is for everyone, the addicts, the drug dealers, prostitutes, the children, the poor, the rich, the dirty and the clean. It really pisses me off to see such hypocrisy in our world. During Christ's time on earth he spent his time at parties with prostitutes and tax collectors. it makes me think of how this relates to us today. At my job i work with a lot of gay people. I don't think homosexuality is the way God intended us to be. But things like prop 8 (which in all its complications i agree with). I don't want my little daughter to grow up in a world of sin where homosexuality is the norm. i don't think it is. but on the other hand, if u have a vote yes on Prop 8 bumper sticker on the back of your car and a gay person sees that i think they would feel like you absolutely hate them. i don't hate the gay people that i work with. in fact, i would call some of them my friends. they are maybe nicer(in the world's eyes, they "good people") people than some straight people i know. but in my mind i guess that doesn't change the fact of what God has told me that they are living in sin. I fight with myself in my head about this a lot. How can i be against sin, when i feel that hating sin makes me hate the sinful. i get uncomfortable at work sometimes when guys talk about some girl that they want to have sex with. i'm like how can you show absolutley no respect for that women. For another human being for that matter. Some of these guys are married and have kids and all they talk about is their next screw. I feel like they have no respect for anyone but themselves. They sure don't care about their wives, their kids, and they damn sure don't care about the girl they want. This world makes me so sick sometimes...longest rant (i mean blog) ever...
