So, I've been contemplating faith and God lately. One thing that has always bothered me are those people who always talk this big game about God and their faith and all they can do is condemn people. I have always been more hesitant about sharing my faith out loud, but have always been all about living things out. I have always felt strongly all this "faith stuff" is more about living love rather than trying to convince the world to think just like I do. So anyway.
I found this Web site that articulates that so well. It is called Off The Map. One interesting thing is that they "bought" an atheist on ebay and asked him to go to different churches for a year and talk about his impressions of the churches. It was really interesting what he thought of the churches and how they presented themselves and how bizarre some of the customs that people (like me) that grew up in churches just accept. It doesn't always make sense to someone who has never been in a church before.
If nothing else in my life I hope that I live LOVE. I hope people enjoy being around me. I hope I radiate positive energy and make people feel peace. I hope myself is good enough.
