I'm Bored

I haven't written in a while. The fact is I'm just bored. Bored to tears of the same petty excuse of faith we call Christianity. I'm tired too. Tired of trying to keep everyone happy around me, like it's the Christian thing to do. Jesus said because of your faith in Him that you'd have to leave mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, relatives and friends because they'd hate you for what you've become. Anything less than that kind of commitment would seem useless to the faith. Jesus wasn't just spouting off some nonsense you can brush off easily and say 'well, you know.. ' followed by some lame-ass excuse for why your brand of Christianity still hits the bullseye of pleasing our Heavenly Father. It's laughable to turn on religious television. I do sometimes. It's like the comedy channel with bad hair-do's, and a captive audience at that! I shake my head at the little fish, and cutsie bumperstickers, and jesus crap we adorn ourselves with.. not in the name of Christ after all, but in the name of the God of greed, and pride, and selfish behavior - and we dare disguise it as what we believe in.. using God's name in vain..that is a sin afterall you know? We watch on the news every night as our world goes deeper into turmoil and hate, while blinded Christians turn the other cheek not to pain being inflicted on them, but to the pain being inflicted on the world. Noses turned up, and no blinkers used speeding down the highway in your car jamming to christianity contemporary, with a leather bible in the console. Cross earrings dangling from your wife's ears, a gold cross from your neck, a silver fish on the trunk. You are beliving a lie. A form of the truth has been pulled over your eyes and you cannot see past it. The truth is hidden from you. More later.
