Bring on the Controversy: Viewers Discretion Advised.

This may be the most controversial thing I have ever written, but I do it in love and I do it to stand up for myself when I say this.
Sure, we are human thus: we make mistakes, count others flaws, and question every single damn thing that we do. We judge our neighbors, we’re greedy, and we never seem to have what we want.
Now, I’m going to walk out on a very distant limb here and ask one simple question. How many people belong to a family? Or you came from somewhere? You were birthed in other words…. All of you? Oh good good. Okay, so how many people acknowledge that they are separate people from their parents an family? Meaning: You are not the same person and make different decisions? Good. You are not a clone of anyone. Unless you’re a clone… then… bare with me.
Are you an independent thinker?
Do you have a free will to do as you please (don’t go overboard on this or over think it, I just want to say in general and all generality.)
Do you have a beating heart?
Are you alive and breathing?
If you are all these things my friends… then I dare say that you are your own person. Entitled to their own opinion, and I’m going to further that thought with, “I’m betting you have your own belief systems as a person” deviating away from the basis that there is a standard foundation to everything. Such as humanity.
I have never in my 17 years of existing, existed for the sake of looking for a fight. For wishing to control and manipulate those around me to bend and break to my will. I venture to say that somewhere deep inside of me is a genuine concern for each and every individual that walks this planet; in one way or another. So, here goes nothing.
Stop bashing on Christians. Just because I have faith and believe in something, does not mean that you have more power over me and more credentials to believe that you are superior. We’re all human aren’t we? I don’t judge your opinions. And when I say this, I mean “I” personally. I won’t judge you for what you believe, as long as you give me sound reasoning and a heart of gold then I am more than content.
But for the love of humanity and all things wholesome… stop comparing me to the asshole who stands on the corner and preaches that you’re going to hell. I’m going to say that they are a little mentally unstable and do it out of fear for themselves. Usually… 9 cases out of 9.5 people do what they do out of fear and frustration and concern for themselves. So if someone ever told you that you were going to hell for not believing in God… then I’m pretty confident in my answer that they themselves were insecure and wished to be self righteous in their decision to make a fool of themselves.To accuse those around them instead of themselves.
This is just a single scenario though, as I wished to bring to the fore frontal of this… letter? What ever it be.
All I wish to say. Is that I am individual, and that I as an individual have found peace and sanctuary in God. Don’t judge for something you don’t and may never understand. I am in no way, shape, or form challenging you. But to call out “Christians” and say that we are all miserable people that only care about ourselves… well that is unjust and I really pay no mind to whatever you have to say. Ignorance is something I can only tolerate so little of, thank Jesus.
You, as an individual, given a free will and all, can be whatever you could possibly dream of… in this life. So if you want to be “that” person that is bitter towards a group of people. Then by all means I won’t stand in your way.
I guess I just never understood, why people think they are better than me for believing in something different. And I speak from a personal level here. I never, in my life, have held myself above someone else for characteristics or beliefs that I hold close to me. Just because I’m different by NO circumstances makes anyone better.
I just simply…
believe
something
else
than
you.
So throw around your harsh remarks and bring on this firey torrent of mean word-induced lacerations. I will live the rest of my life feeling sorrow for you for not understanding me, and turn my cheek for I have no reason to fight you. Simply because you don’t understand me. Now… wars may have been started over misunderstanding but not I.
I shall pay you with the kindness that you pay me. So be careful with your words. For they are the double edged sword that leads your life. Just saying. I shall watch mine as well.
