Give Me Life...

Well I'm Christian (for those of you confused by the meaning of the word; Christianity = the belief in the Only Son being sacrificed to bathe you in his blood for redemption from your sins...Also the complete and sole worship of God, Elohim, YHVH, or any other biblical name you decide to use...The Christian God.) By no means am I an Orthodox Christian. I've come to mostly believe that faith and spirituality are beautiful until someone gets the idea to start a relgion based upon them...I do believe that God is my life - literally. He is the aire I breath, the blood beneath my skin, the sun in the sky, He is all. My emotions, my love, my desires, and my sole. He is my being because He is my Life...He exists in all things, believers and none alike, because he is the very energy that vibes throughout the world.

I accept anyone with other spiritual paths. A decent person is a decent person.Ignorance, however, is a never ending annoyance.I cannot tolerate people who complain about Christianity based upon a stereo-type of Christians. It makes them hypocrites. Everything in it's purest form is beautiful, especially spirituality...People just tend to contaminate it. It's something that needs to be realized. Just the same, ignorant Christians who quote verses out of context and warp the meaning to fit their own uses (and in this CAUSING the stereo-typing) should not be allowed to speak in public...You should not believe anything that you don't understand. Especially if you don't even bother attempting to....

Faith is only as useful as the strength and power behind it...Knowledge is power....Think...

Something I wrote over five years ago about my religious preference:

am who I am...
This is really long so brace yourself.... Most people know I'm Christian. It's something I mention right off the bat because most the people I make friends with aren't and tend to like bashing. But not until recently has anyone ever asked why I like being Christian. Suddenly about five people asked and I sat there dumbfounded because I don't normally THINK about why am I am...I just am. I mean I knew why but I never really thought of a logical explanation that wouldn't be retaliated with some remark about brainwashing. So, I decided to make an effort to explain my religious choice. I know this will at least register some understanding with people who are wiccan, maybe not atheists...But one step at a time...I hear a lot of remarks about brain washing. And to make a note right now, I was not raised in an overly Christian family. We never pray before meals (to be honest we don't even eat in the same room), my mother never had me pray before bed, we didn't go to church, and no one really mentioned religion around me. Instead, I was raised with evolution books, astrology, palm reading...My aunt and uncle are wiccan, most my friends are too, so I really didn't have much Christian influence growing up. Don't get me wrong. My parents are both god loving/fearing Christians. It's just my mom didn't even know what evolution was and she didn't really know much about anything none Christian. She just sort of assumed I would know all about God because she didn't really think that there were any other ideas out there for me to look at. Yes my rambling has a point...I was not forced into Christianity. It wasn't fed to me day and night. I wasn't forced into it at all...Yet I went towards it anyway, not because I was brainwashed or shoved into it, but because it's what I wanted...Now with that out of the way, why do I want it? Okay, if you deal with magick this part should make sense to you in a way...When you cast a spell, you feel energy, an overwhelming power in yourself and it's completely unexplainable...It's just pure energy with a direct intent...Now the part that should make sense to everyone (yes it will all eventually blend together be patient)...When you love someone and they love you back you feel warm, and happy, and completely safe. Whether it's your mother holding you when you're a child and she's comforting you, or a best friend that you know you'd never survive without having them around to confide in, or even your boyfriend or husband you makes you feel like you're the only person in the world that matters and that you are perfect just how you are...It all has the same warming serene effect on you...Now just imagine an energy that is strong, that you feel with you and around you at ALL times, completely unexplainable, that makes you feel safe and loved. Something that feels like a best friend that's with you, you can say anything to, that never stops loving you, makes you feel like you're flawless and wonderful just the way you are, and that you are never alone. Radiating every sort of kind or loving emotion you've ever felt for or from anyone, and that is able to treat every person like they are the only one, with only asking that you accept the love and believe in it as payment...And you might be able to understand just some of what I feel with my God. It's not explainable, it's just real. I'm not making an attempt to convert anyone; I'm just explaining why I am what I choose to be. And if that makes no sense (it probably doesn't anyway) here's a reason my mom believes: If I spend my whole life believing in a God who isn't there and it makes me happy, and I die happy and without fear of where I'm going and he doesn't exist, what difference does it make, I'll be gone and will never know...But if I don't believe in him, and he is real what am I missing out on?...Now if you haven't already stopped reading this and went back to the main page you can do that now because I'm finished...=)




	Stigma or Stigmata? Isn't it interesting that two letters in a word can change it's meaning from a mark of shame to a mark resembling all that is Christian?
