I really can't stand when people say "Jesus Christ" or GD or any of his names in vain! I love him and it hurts.
I need people to understand that.
It's like when you're in a relationship and you're madly in love and everyone is telling you that they hate whoever you are with. It kills you. Your heart hurts and your stomach is sick and you resent those people. They are insulting someone you love. Possibly, worship.
Well, the thing is, I love and worship Jesus. Most people don't get it. I need some people who do. And those that don't, I need them too.
Why is it that America teaches us to tolerate everything, but Christians? It's pretty crazy. I'm an outcast mostly everywhere, and that's against our flesh.
I think that this is what I'm getting at: I know that as "Christians", we are the enemy. People think that we are going to tell them they are wrong for everything they do. It's sickening.
Check it out:
"We are going to confess that, as followers of Jesus, we have not been very loving; we have been bitter and for that we are sorry. We will apologize for the Crusades, we will apologize for the televangelists, we will apologize for neglecting the poor and the lonely, we will ask them to forgive us, and we will tell them that in our selfishness, we have misrepresented Jesus on this campus. We will tell people who come into our booth that Jesus loves them."
