Where the fuck did the church go wrong.
At what point did we determine that we were morality police for the world.

I say no one should be allowed to be morality police. I say God has it under control. And I'm sure as hell not pointing fingers, because the instant I try to stand on some kind of moral high ground The One reminds me of where I really stand in It's eyes. I'm no better than the people that hate homosexuals, Jews, blacks, or anything else. Hate is hate, sin is sin. And in spite of my 1% status, that means that I'm the dregs of society, and like all other people that are trying desperately to follow God, I will fall on my face. I may say I'm willing to do anything, but honestly I don't always have the follow through.
So here is where I stand. I'm trying to be the person willing to love anyone when called to. The reality, I hate most everyone. I don't like foolish people, or annoying people, or other categories of people that I categorize myself. So I am, in fact, the person that I hate. I'm the one on morality police duty (even if it is a different kind of morality). So where should I take this?
NO clue.
I can only hope that I have the grace to curtail my hate. And that others would have the same.
I want the church to be something that it will never be, because there are people like me in it.
This is all a process I'm sure.
I tend to want to hurry it.

You're such a fag!
Just kidding. Its funny. As the world begins to collapse, as the dawn of the New Order rests upon us... it is a great time for the church to shine. And yet somehow we are saying... "Fuck the fags, fuck the whores, and fuck the president.
God is Love.
"Camel Fuckers die!!! WAR WAR WAR!"
My favorite part in the whole scheme of things is that I work in that. A part of me wants to run away and a part of me wants to be the catalyst for change from the inside out.
I'm literally torn. But my place as a full on sinner doesn't help the situation. Because I understand that my grace is abounding in the One in spite of my sin I feel that there is no place for me to condemn others at this point. I have a new perspective that relieves me of a lot of the anger that I was holding onto, but that makes me even angrier at what I see the church still moving towards.
Damn it all!
If we notice the millions of small holes and ponder the way of an apple...
It's situations like these where I think. God, help me listen to your spirit. I can hear it begging me to shut the fuck up.
Love for those who are different than me. Sinner or Saint. Jesus had it right though. Its so much easier to love the sinner than it is the saint. Cos the sinners aren't such ass holes
I wonder if it is easier for God to love anyone. There is something I've never thought on before.
