Well are you? Sometimes i am. I mean I really love church and reading the bible and being down with J.C. and all, but sometimes I love to get freaky on a Friday night and repent for my sins on a Sunday. I love the fact that I have a good work ethic which has lead to some great career opportunities but sometimes I procrastinate and just don't give a shit like I am right now! (should be arranging my room instead I am talking to you fine people.) I love to plan things in detail, but sometimes I just scrap my plans on a whim and do whatever. Sometimes this is a good thing, other times I scare myself with my temerity. So are you a walking contradiction?

Oh, absolutely.

karmatornado said:

Yeah, me too


Not that it's been happening lately, but, yeah . . .

well, I'm not really rude...

I'm not a boy...


I think I'm actually a very polite man....


























now fuck off

We all are.

You cited reasons why I'll never go to church. It's too hypocritical.

Lothan said:

Actually its not hypocritical. It gives one hope, Plus its good to be forgiven. But thats more of a P&R discussion, however I would not mind talking to you about it through orgnotes!

Lothan said:

I've always thought (and I swear I aint trying to turn this into a P&R thread) that if folks really, really belived the stuff they hear at church, they wouldn't do the things they do ...just an opinion though...now back to your regularly scheduled posts...

roodboi said:

See you are right. Most of the stuff I do are right on course biblically. But I veer on the wide windy destructive path from time to time.

karmatornado said:

just from the lil' bit I've read in your posts, you seem like a good person, with morals and values....I think you're ok...there are people that live their entire lives on the wide windy destructive path, those people are probably the ones that need to worry, if there is anything to worry about...

I've live in both worlds because I am both

and he loves me just as I am

karmatornado said:

I thought you said you were Catholic.....

Lothan said:

yup.

Anyways, to answer your question....

I'm a total walking contradiction.

But I'm a work in progress. Its not like I'm full grown and who I'm supposed to be. I'm still working on myself.

Never.

No offence, but this is the problem with many so-called christians. It really does blow my mind.

No one is perfect. And Christians don't claim to be. And theres no such thing as a "so called christian'.

Empress said:

I disagree. I look to the literal meaning of the word Christian: Christ-like. Am I wrong?

And some Christians like to beat people over the head with the Bible when they themselves are nto perfect.

Lothan said:

Oh. Well, yeah. There are Christians FAR from Christ like, myself included. (obviously) But, like I said, I am a growing Christian, with a far far way to go. Even Christ himself wasn't PERFECT.

But anyways, I really hate hate preachiness, myself. I don't do it, and I don't like when its done to me.

It takes someone with a magic touch

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Yeah but at least you can admit you are a work in progress. You get my respect.

Great GD topic while it lasts

anyway -

I have never met a person that at some time

wasn't a walking contradiction

I grow each day with each mistake I make - I like that about life

It's a great topic so let me get back on track before it moves to P&R.

Errrr Dani i dont wanna turn this in to P+R but Christ was perfect...he had to be...otherwise he wasn't the ransom, the balance to Adam.

mdiver said:

I know after I wrote that, I knew I said it wrong.

I meant to say even Jesus was tempted and had temptations.

Yes all the time. You only have to ask Carrie to point it out.

Is a catholic not supposed to read the bible?

I've never known one to.

I'm joking here. (Kinda)
