The Sad State of the World

This post is going to be quick since I am running off to work, but I promised to post so I will!

Over the past two days I have come to realize the sad state the world is in. I don't want this post to turn into a debate over prop 8, though if you want to debate that I would be more than willing to elsewhere. Apparently, the bible ends after Jude to a lot of people today. I have been told numerous times in the past 2 days that God doesn't judge because he is loving. I couldn't disagree more, God judges because God is Love. The bible clearly establishes that He is Love, and it clearly states he judges (COME ON READ REVELATION.) If he didn't ever judge there would be no "judgement day and no heaven or hell.

Also, It appears that believing in a truth that is concrete, not relative makes you a "close minded bigot" and a "hypocrite." To me, it seems that todays society pushes a relative idea of truth, and by believing it, to me it appears that is being closed minded. And if I am a bigot for backing christian principles, then I am fine with it, your definition of bigot is incorrect and I will take it as praise. By your logic, both Jesus and Paul were bigots. That is a group I would not be ashamed EVER to be associated with.

I have also been told that discriminating is always wrong. Those who know me will be familiar with my position on the issue and familiar with my example. Discrimination based on certain things, ethnicity, sex, and other things such as that are wrong. (note how i am hesitant to use the word always even here) But think about this, you are the proud parent of a 2 year old daughter. You want to go on a date with your spouse so you begin to search for a babysitter for the night. Two people show up at your door willing to take the job. One is a 45 year old man, who you recognize as having been a registered sex offender. The other person who shows up happens to be a 19 year old college student attending a prestigious college in the area. Based on the fact that you should never discriminate, you would have to flip a coin for who gets the job. You can't say that the teenage girl is likely going to be a better baby sitter, that would be going against everything you believe-- you are discriminating...how dare you?! I hope you realize how crazy that is.

Time to Go...but GOD IS LOVE (you will understand why i say that after my next post so check back)
