Enough is EnoughWow, I have to say that I'm feeling a bit as though I've somehow left reality and entered a scary B movie filled with people that are cloaked like Christians, but yoked like Beelzebub. While I am a strong believer in God, I tend to be distrusting with many folks whom call themselves "Christian" or act out or act upon because of their so called "Christian" Values. I'm not pointing my finger to anyone in particular. I believe if you have a true and good heart, ultimately it will all be revealed to you. I realize that sometimes we just "think" we're right in our opinions only to realize later on that we were very very wrong. And in saying so, only a true Christian would be so inclined as to stand up and take ownership in their wrongness. Unfortunately some of my experiences with people that called themselves a Christian haven't been very good ones. As a matter of fact thinking of some of the things that happened it makes me want to cry. As a child I brought my best friend to church. I wanted to introduce her to God. We were just children and children will be children. We were running through the hall, giggling as children often do when all of a sudden this woman came from out of nowhere! She had very long fingernails and she grabbed my friends little arm very hard and dug her long nails into her skin to the point that blood came out. Needless to say, she cried and never ever went back to church with me again. An Elder at the church condemned a woman that was a member of the church; merely because she was going through a divorce. They didn't bother to ask her if the man was a retch and cheating on her. Did God really give that Elder so much authority? Or did he bestow that position upon himself? Which brings me to my point. I can not for the life of me understand how a person or persons could take something as simple as blogging and turn it into the nightmare of the century for a family. What kind of a person, let alone a self proclaimed Christian person would even think of being such a deviant as to become a detective, seek out a fellow blogger's true identity, cherry pick words that "seem" damning (oh shoot, did I just use that word?) but weren't written to be ingested in the context in which the self appointed judge submitted them. And then the pièce de résistance; contact his employer and accuse him of being "unchristian". Who would have EVER thought the ignorance would transfer from the self appointed judge to the head master of the mans job to the point that he loses his job? Huh???? This IS the 21st Century isn't it????? I mean....for heaven's sake they are taking God out of our schools and fighting to take GOD off our money. And they make us remove memorials in front of court houses merely because it mentions GOD. And this man or should I say family loses their job and possibly everything including having to move far away from their Grand children because of a few words formed on a computer on his own time????? I've read that it's even worse than just the aforementioned but that he and his wife are both battling horrible illnesses. And people such as, well I won't even mention your name. I'm sure you'll figure it out. For me reading your tainted and insincere words quite frankly really made me angry. You compare yourself and your life to this man's life? What a crock! This is the sickest, most disturbing thing I've heard in a long time. For someone to actually have the fortitude to seek out and destroy another persons life simply for a freaking blog!!!! WHAT?????? And some people look at it so lightly? How dare you look at it so lightly. How uncaring and obtuse of you. I'm never one to arm myself and seek out someone whose hurt me. I believe that is God's job. As for the purpetrators and bringers of bad tidings upon this mans entire family; it is now up to God to deal with you. It would really be nice if some of you would stop being so rude and uncaring. Such is the type of so called Christian that drives souls away and I believe when you drive a soul away, you then become responsible for that soul. Do me a favor and swallow any of your nasty finger pointing words toward Mr. Linville. It seems to me that he's had enough and has demonstrated a far superior Christian attitude than I've seen....well.....ever in this life. ![]() |
