Religious proclamation...
as far as i can remember, i rarely talk about religion. mostly because i don't like when others do. unless they're pretty liberal about it. but you know how rare that is. so when i find somebody who is liberal and understands what i understand about religion, and specifically Christianity, it makes me happy. but it is only once in a blue moon that i find that.
when i read the Bible or study Christianity (or other religions really), i never seem to see what others see. i see God as being very loving and forgiving and cool. i know that others seem to see a rigid, condemning, angry being who likes to pass judgement, but i just don't see it that way. things like God is love, God is forgiving, and other sayings like that seem to be on my side.
anyway, all of this was really to get to one important point. i want to make a shirt that has the following proclamation:
Jesus was a hippie.
because as i see it, that's the truth. let's see: he had long hair, wore simple robes, and sandals. he was cool with everyone and willing to help and forgive them all. he never sweated anything... 'no food? i'll make what we have multiply. no wine? no biggie, i can make water into wine. that's how much i like my wine.' he hung out all the time with some questionable men. he was the radical, the young wild dude that the old men didn't trust. i'll say it again... the way i see it, Jesus was a hippie. and to be honest, that makes me very happy and proud of him.
ok, don't expect anything else religious for like another year or so. since i can't be one of those bloggers who refrains from talking politics, i can at least be one of those bloggers who rarely discusses religion.
P.S. i'm pretty sure i just ate some bad tortellini. ewwwwwww.
P.P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
