"Christianity"

I’ve noticed a few things lately that have been getting on my nerves. The biggest of which is the fact that many people who call themselves “Christian“, have no qualms about looking at a person they see on a street, and judging them. Many “Christians” would look at a man with tattoos and piercing, and frown upon him. I once walked through the streets of St. Paul with a “Christian” group, and one of our LEADERS told me it was stupid to give three dollars in change to a homeless man. He told me that the man would simply go out and buy alcohol with it. Take it from this angle, what would Jesus have done? I can’t really know, but I can only assume that he would have sat with the man, and helped him in anyway that he could. Are we not to live our lives as close to his as we can? Why is it then that “Christians” take on the “high and mighty” attitude that has brought so many negative connotations to the Christian faith.

I’m not saying that we all need to become Jesus. I know that I’m far from it, and I don’t know anyone who is anywhere close to it. That’s the point. The point is that we are TOO far from it. When did looking down at everyone we encounter become ok? It’s been this way forever. It’s sick and wrong. Does nobody see that in doing this, we are becoming what we most hate? Am I the only one who hates it so much? I know I cannot possibly be. It’s time to step up and do as Christ would have us do. Throw down our egos and learn a little humility (that is a word, ask my girlfriend)

Peace and Love
