I have NEVER been more embarrassed to call myself a christian.
To christians and christian t-shirt makers:
1. Stop being so political with my God.
2. Stop trying to divide and make separation between the secular and the sacred, God is redeeming ALL of creation
3. Quit it with the ripping off of logos, you can't trick someone into subliminally converting.
4. Stop trying to be controversial. it's not cool, it won't up your church's attendance
5. Just because you're hated doesn't mean you're doing a good thing
God, I hate christian subculture

| "I think what people don't understand, or maybe I've just learned
myself, is that evangelism isn't about targeting a believer, as you
have said it wasn't, rather its about boasting about what Christ has
done. Cause for Paul as a religious leader showed how christ changed him
and his religious chargin, whereas for a musician it would be through
his music, or with me my ideas in economics and how christ moves
through them and affects them. I think thats what Paul was getting to
by boasting about Christ."

I want to open this up for discussion or input from anyone, I've been evaluating this for a couple of days and want some feedback to help me sort this out.

| I've never been too big on internet jokes but this blonde joke
is the funniest thing I've read in quite a while
in other news: Ode to Beer
"When does beer promote worship? You've obviously never had great beer.
When you find that perfect blend of hops and barley it is a sacramental
moment. You are connected to God by the amazing textures that have been
able to be produced from his good creation. That gets me closer to God
than "Shout to the Lord" ever could."

remember that time anna and I worked things out?
cool.
I'm going to go smoke out of confusion and frustration now

| Not sleeping much tonight so I decided to post a bit. I've had this
quote in my facebook profile for a while and I've been meaning to
expound on it:
"Of course, if salvation was an end in and of itself--and you believe
in Jesus Christ as God--why in the world would his death and
resurrection happen at such a temporal distance from his second coming.
I mean, why not just die, save humanity from their sins, and end the
world, if that's all there is to salvation anyway? Believing in
salvation as an ends rather than as means to an end puts one in the
position of loving an awful jackass of a God, now doesn't it?"

I've been thinking about evangelism and I want some genuine feedback
The great commission states that we are to make disciples. This
commission is usually used to justify churches being driven by the
number of attendees which we all know is basically wrong. Why are we
taught to view people as targets of conversion? but we aren't called to
make believers we are called to disciple them
I don't want to view people as targets. I want to build relationships.
I want to disciple everyone I come into contact with. I think honesty
in your faith is the easiest way to bring people to repentance. I'm
sick of the church trying to spew apologetic rhetoric and trying to be
political. the church will risk anything for their stance on prolife
and being antievolution but I don't see anyone with signs saying "God
loves homosexuals, he is redeeming ALL of creation!" no one takes a
stand for love, no one takes a stand for fellowship.
I want to take a stand for love and fellowship. More specifically I
want to love and invest into people and be in fellowship. I think at
least some of us have this fear of dying alone and sad... why can't we
encourage and help eachother in that
it's funny because I'll answer any direct questions but I won't
willingly divulge information without the questions. I assume I
have that in common with other people. let's ask eachother questions. I
want to put myself on the spot but not here, not online. I don't think
anything is more ironic than trying to think out and solve total
loneliness through the emotional safety of my computer.
