You know the feeling when you sit in front of your computer and open your blog page and click on 'New Post' and the blank page appears and your mind just goes blank all of a sudden?
That's me right here... -__-
Then suddenly my heart begins to ache again and emotions rush through me like a wind - images, feelings, movement...aarrrgghhh!
Have you ever been intimidated by those 'Christians' who feel the need to talk to you about Christ just because they saw you do something or heard you say something they have never thought of? For example, because I said "shit" someone starts to quote Bible verses saying I will be judged by every word that comes out of my mouth; or when I decide to 'shake my bum bum' to Oliver Twist by D'Banj someone also feels I need deliverance.
I still believe that we're not an ignorant generation. We are taught to believe in a higher power right from birth, whatever your religious denomination or affiliation whatsoever. And so I find it funny to see people despising others just because they do not serve their deities in similar fashion. Each to his own.
If we're praying in a group and I decide to be silent does not mean I'm a devil incarnate just because you have decided to spill your prayers vocally. I am not evil if I listen to music with no 'Jesus' in it. I am very comfortable attending church programmes and joining any group I might be interested in without people trying to force me to be a part of something with the 'threat' that if I do not join such and such a group, I will lose the gift that the Holy Spirit has given me. (Cuss words fill my head right now!)
Please, we are all human. We do not know every single thing happening in the minds and lives of everyone else. Assumptions can be dangerous at times and we should not rely on such thoughts to judge people. In fact, we should not judge others at all.
If you do not know, ASK! If it seems strange to you INQUIRE and you will be told, and then you can act based on that. DO NOT ASSUME and go make a fool of yourself. We have all been fools before and it is not a very nice feeling.
So all I'm saying is, please allow people to serve their deities as they wish. If you have a problem with that, or are unsure why they do what they do, find out first and then you can take action cautiously. If you believe someone needs help, speak to them in a way that will make them listen to you. 'Spiritual threats' (as I call them) will not work!
Tell me what you think is better than what I am doing and do not tell me I will go to hell because of what I am doing.
I think you understand. :) Good.
Thank you.
