Subject: Church........really? 
 
 
Ok so I'm here waiting to play and its off to a late start already. 
I invited my mom with the hopes of having her change churches...
I really don't like the activities I hear about that takes place 
in the one she goes to. But now I see my intentions are futile. 
 
She invited  one of her church sisters and as she arrived....hmmmm..... 
to make a long story short, they don't like this church.  Now seriously,
what is the whole foundation of church? Isn't it to give praise and 
thanks to our Creator? When did personal opinion, thoughts or views 
come into play? What happened to "love thy neighbour"? 
 
This is why I'm never interested in coming to church.  And the thing is,
when you're a selfish, self-centered, egotistical, control freak type 
of an asshole that's one thing. But imagine someone who is a  selfish,
self-centered, egotistical, control freak and an asshole who has 
strong religious or spiritual beliefs, or even superstitious 
beliefs.... - OMG!  
 
Now I'm not saying that I know such a person....hmm, on 
the other hand maybe I do. 
 
So, I'm never interested in church here because its never only about 
giving praise or thanks. Its about the gossip, the voodoo, who's doing 
what to who and the list of negatives goes on and on. Yet everyone pretends 
to be here for the right reasons. Oh, and not to mention all the 
ones who are at church only to pray or beg "the lord" for all the 
worldly  things they desire instead of giving thanks for all that HE has
already given them. 
 
Now I know that there are a few true Christians here and I must 
say blessings to them. But I'd rather take my chances giving 
thanks, praises and acknowledging my own blessings in my own
quiet space and time. 
 
Thank You

  1. Phewwwwwww ! that took some saying Robert, and I guess I partly know what you mean. I am not a church regular, instead, prefering to do things in "my own way" I have often said that a number of people I know who are "good church going Christians" are really some of the most mean minded individuals you could meet. In some cases it almost seems like they hide behind their church in order to get away with being nasty.
    Such is life (as they say) and it takes all kinds of people to make this world go round.
    I know the kind of person I am, and it's not a bad one. I try to do good things and count my blessings, like you, in my own quiet space and time.
