who decided that to walk the fake walk was to be a Christian? how did we get such a twisted idea, after reading the gospel, about what being a Christian was? something happened in between Christ's ressurection and now, something weird. people think that if they homeschool their children, monitor what comes in and out of their house, pray before meals, dress in cover all shmocks that arent even real colors, they're just mixtures of netruel colors, that they are Christians, and they make it into heaven. if they walk the walk, and make sure that they [and their family's] DONT do certain things, that they are great Christians. and this is true in the chuches. most of the elders in my church are those people. but that is so not Christ. Christ wasnt conservative, Christ wasnt focused on NOT doing the bad things. his whole life he was stepping out, reaching out, helping, doing, loving to the extreme extent that his body was physically able to. because locking up your children, with felt sunday school boards, and monitored tv, never letting them go to public school, or hang out at a concert, does not reach anybody. this is not me bashing on homeschooling your kids, i was homeschooled for a few years, and it was the best years i ever had in school. but when you take it to a different level when you are sheltering yourself, and not reaching out all the things that you have learned, and all the things you have tought your kids, to the rest of the world, then why the heck did you invest all that time in them? So that they could keep it to themselves? Okayy... people are making such a big deal about this postmodernism movement in the church, and that is a good thing. but the people who are making a big deal about it because they dont want to let go of the way their lives are now, are wrong. this is the way the church is SUPPOSED to be. We are a body, not an american body, sitting on the couch. we are Christ's body, doing things, giving love, breaking the barriers of the social classes. we need to have a radical revolution. where we re-evaluate how we're running our churches. we re-examine the gospel, what we missed, what we pushed out of our sermons because it made us uncomfortable. we need to re-think the way we treat our neighbors. not our brothers, our neighbors. are friends who arent Christians. our gay, gothic, sexually active, partying neighbors, and love them. give them something real to associate with: relationship.
