Church

Falcons Talon · Nov 3, 2009

I love going to church on Sundays with my family. Catholic church in my community is very traditional and spiritual. Church is definitely about God and His word and not about the show.

If I wanted to catch a show, I'd go to a movie or Barnum and Bailey's.

I'm going to make a confession here. I've kept it to myself till now, but this is probably a good place to bury it.

My biggest struggle, religiously and spiritually, is erasing the hatred in my heart for those who corrupt the purity of religions. As a Muslim, I am at peace with Jews, Christians, Atheists, anyone. The one thing I have grown frustrated with is that I haven't become indifferent to what the media calls "Extremists".

On my face, I may wear a smile. But the moment I hear a story like "i left the church because they told me I would go to hell if I didn't fork over 10%", I become disgusted and frustrated, almost angry. Why do those people have lots of people listening to them? Why are they given large amounts of authority? How could they say something like that? Would they dare say such a thing if Jesus PBUH was physically standing over thm and watching?

It's annoying and sad. Not because they exist, but because for some reason they are dominating "market" share. There are so many of them, they are the majority.

The next time someone tells you you're going to hell, tell them to write it on a piece of paper and sign it. Once they sign it, show it to them and ask them how and when the power to sign it was delegated to them.

I hope I'm able to deal with it soon. I'm tired of hearing these people spew their stuff everywhere. Opinions are great, but it is whenthey throw their opinions around as facts to mass audiences is where it becomes idiotic.

Sorry for the rant. lol

This is awesome. Honestly, this is my #1 issue...that the Church be true to Jesus and stop being either a country club, a den of thieves and/or a seat of judgment for society.
