First Topic: Religious Extremists (And not Islamic, Christians)

Okay, so first blog EVER. Let's see how this goes.

The biggest thing on my mind atm, thanks to my friend Sam, are people who think they are the BEST CHRISTIANS EVER! Hey genius, I'm a Christian too, but let's not get carried away here. Alright? Allow me to explain myself. I live in the Bible Belt. For those of you who don't know, it's also known as the Deep South. No, not Louisiana (I would rather shoot myself than live there), a wee-bit farther North than that. Now, I like to think of myself as a pretty reasonable person, but when a little mug walks up to me and TELLS ME that I am going to Hell, he/she has a pretty quick decision to make. 1) Stand here and get pummeled, or 2) (which I would rather enjoy) Stand here and be verbally destroyed with my thoughts and other things that are not quite appropriate for little ears. This all depends on my mood, mind you. For the sake of reader entertainment, I will continue with the second option.

Now, first off, this individual is obviously human. And as we all know, humans aren't F'n perfect. That goes for you too, SBC (Southern Baptist Church) Bible Thumpers. Oh? Shocked? Having stated that, as far as I know, no one is within their rights to judge someone and tell them that they're living their life wrong. Yes, you may offer some constructive criticism on how they might improve themselves, but when you go as far as to tell a person that they are going to HELL, you have crossed a line. God is the only being with the ability to make that call. Sorry Bible Thumpers. Actually, I'm not.

Secondly, if someone is not pure and untainted by sin, I really want to meet them. I mean, shit, they must be like the second coming of Jesus. Fortunately, I have yet to hear/meet that person yet, so I don't think anyone is within their rights to judge. Yes, I know, we all  forget that from time to time. That still doesn't make it right. We are all in the same boat here. Living our lives the way that keeps our heads above water. Yet, some still find it okay to tell us that Homosexuals need to be alienated and that the people we hang out with are evil. I have to say, I'm not gay, but I find that f'n offensive. Homosexuals are human beings as well. Do they not deserve the same treatment as Heterosexuals?? That's some pretty messed up shit if you think they don't. Also, if you don't agree with my lifestyle (smoking, going to Raves, etc.), I understand. And you are more than welcome to state your opinion. I won't give a damn what you think, but you can tell me how you feel. BUT DON'T FRIGGIN TELL ME THAT I'M GOING TO HELL!!!! Ugh!

Bringing this completely disorganised rant to a close, I'd like to leave you with some wise words. Tupac released a song called "Only God Can Judge Me." I think he hit the nail on the head, both with the title and the lyrics. He knew he was living the wrong life, but he didn't need anyone else to tell him that.
