Grey Matters.

"And as you wish that others would do to you, so do to them."
-Luke 6:31





guten tag.

today i want to talk about fear. what is it that scares us the most? spiders? heights? me in Spandex?(not that i've ever worn Spandex but you can only imagine with my hairy legs...)

there was a study i read some time ago that suggested that most are afraid of speaking in front of others, followed by death. but one look at society as a whole was enough for me to deem this assessment horribly inacurate. the fact is that nothing in this world scares us more than something that is new. something that is different. something is more gray than either black or white. something that doesn't fit into the boxes our parents and the tv built for us as kids. but there is something far scarier than this that we fail to recognize. but what could be scarier than that, kids???

i'll tell you.

how we react when things don't fit neatly in our messed up little heads is truly the scariest thing in the world. how we react to these situations is the most telling about who we are as individuals.

this month alone there have been about 5 or 6 suicides in the lgbt community. what does this have to do with my topic? everything. as a kid in church i was taught that homosexuality was sin. whether or not you agree, the fact is that somebody somewhere is being bullied more than likely because he or she is gay and eventually he or she had reached a breaking point. no one should have to get to that point. NO ONE.
the reason i bring my faith into this is because...
1-my faith affects every part of my life
2-all i see anymore are these ridiculous people protesting the gay community as a whole yet they want to call themselves Christians.

yeah...you guys...i'm coming after you.....



IF YOU'RE GONNA PRETEND THAT YOU'RE CHRISTIANS, THEN DO ME THE SIMPLE FAVOR OF KNOWING THE BIBLE FIRST. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT THE WORST SIN IN THE WORLD. IF YOU BOTHERED TO READ YOUR BIBLES, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT GOD LOOKS AT ALL SIN AS BAD. NO ONE THING IS WORSE THAN THE OTHER. AND TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, WHAT YOU GUYS AND GIRLS ARE DOING IS FAR WORSE THAT THE THINGS YOU ACCUSE THE GAY COMMUNITY OF DOING!!!!! THE BIBLE DOES NOT GIVE US THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE BASED ON ANYTHING BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SINNED. IF WE HAD THAT RIGHT, WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT OF JUDGEMENT DAY????????????????????????

I AM REALLY GETTING SICK OF YOU GUYS COMPLAINING ABOUT DUMB STUFF! DO YOU WANT SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT? IS THAT THE PROBLEM? WELL THEN, GO FIND A NEIGHBOR EITHER FROM OR WITH A FAMILY MEMBER FROM HAITI AND ASK THEM HOW THE FOOD TASTES...THEN MAYBE YOU CAN GET A FEW POINTERS IN THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(panting heavily)

ok.....now im good....

the point i want to make is this.... so what if you don't like a man dating another man, what does that have to do with how you treat that person? we are made to live different lives, to believe different things and to coexist, but we are also made to love. so when you see someone being bullied, stop it. tell someone. we cannot afford to lose another life...we couldn't afford to lose the ones we have already lost. when you see something different that doesn't fit into the catergory of black or white, don't turn up your nose to it...embrace it...because remember, the gray area does matter.
