From my heart.

This issue has been around for many years.
And this is what I've got to say about it all.
Every thing I say here is from my heart.

Now I'm not the type of person or "Christian" to walk up to someone and beat them over the head with the Bible and tell them that what they're doing is wrong, or nasty, or gross, and that they're going to hell.
I've never done that, nor will I ever.
I am friends with a bunch of homosexuals, people who do drugs, people who drink, people who have premarital sex, people who curse like sailors, and people who straight up mock the Bible and straight up mock Christianity and pretty much tell me I'm an idiot for believing such silly things.
It hurts my heart, but I still love them, because they are my friends.

I'm not one to take away a person's rights - talking about homosexuals, here.
Now if someone murders another, I expect them to be jailed because of it.
I'm not for sure how I feel about the death penalty, though, because I do believe God will give them what they deserve.
If it weren't for Jesus, we'd all be getting what we deserve. Thank you, Lord for your mercy.

I'm not the type of person or "Christian" to go to Gay Parades and hold up signs saying that they're all going to hell. I'm not going to vote to take away their rights to get married. But I'm also not going to vote to allow them to have those rights. Since I do, personally, believe that homosexuality is wrong. I'm just not going to go either way. I believe that people are people. All people are equal. No matter gender, color, where they were born, accent. We all sin. We're all sinners, whether we admit it or not.

I know how it feels to be beaten over the head with the Bible, being told I'm going to hell for doing such a gross, horrible sin - Self Harm. They told me that the Bible says that my body is a temple and that by cutting, I'm destroying the temple, therefor I'm going to hell.

Okay.

Another thing people always debate about is church. So many people hate going to church.

I go to church with people who bear false witness, people to smoke, people who get drunk, people who curse, people who steal, people who cheat, people who lie, people who don't read the Bible every day, people who are proud, people who are somewhat prejudice, people who think they are better than others because of their wealth. These people can be found in every church around the world. Why? Because there are no perfect people in the world. There is only one person who is perfect and that is Jesus Christ. The church is not a museum for the good people, it is not a gathering place for the righteous. The church is a hospital for the broken, a shelter for the needy.
