As I Sit Here #2

I really enjoyed what I did in my last post so here is a second one about sitting somewhere and thinking... This was written in my notebook first...

As I sit here in Christian Formation class I realize people are stupid. Yes I am in Christian Formation; I go to a Christian school, blah blah blah. Now that we're past that let's get to what I want to talk about. People are stupid and need to get over themselves. Plain and simple. A LOT of the views on Christianity are opinion based, and it's hard for a preacher to teach a class on basic Christian ideas without inputting his opinion, it's simply unreasonable.

So why are you getting offended? I have recently heard complaints of our teacher offending people because of his views on different subjects in the Christian world. Get. Over. It. I mean really, why are you complaining about it when what you specifically believe has the possibility of offending the teacher?

If you were having a one on one conversation with someone who knows you, and your faith then you can be offending if they say something offensive to you. But he is teaching a class, it's impossible to not offend someone. It's like watching a TV show. That TV show can't attach itself to one person, or one kind of person.

Because I mentioned being in Christian Formation class let me discuss what we talked about: Speaking in tongues. Bah. Humbug. I do not believe in speaking in tongues, at all. Where's the proof that you are actually enveloped by the Holy Sprit? How do we know you're not just putting on a stage show? I mean really, would it be o hard for me to pretend? I'll look up a YouTube video of someone speaking and just copy it, claiming that t was the Holy Sprit. People cannot be trusted.

Let me say that again... PEOPLE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. See how big and prevalent I made that? People are people. We make mistakes and we "sin." It's just a mater of fact. People cannot be stopped form sinning or screwing up. Every day every person sins in some way. (This is where my notebook ends)

Ok let me clear something up. If you believe in speaking in tongues and it brings you closer to God do not let my opinion stop you. I think that is the real problem with people getting upset over opinions. Why are you getting upset about it? Shouldn't your faith be true or good enough that if someone says something else it shouldn't affect what you are thinking at all? Why are you taking it that seriously?

I like to live by the motto that opinions cannot be wrong. They are opinions. No one can tell you it is wrong because it is your opinion. My opinion is that Justin Beiber sucks. Your opinion is that he rocks. I can disagree with your opinion, but I cannot say it is wrong. Opinions and beliefs are very similar in that way. It becomes this nonsensical argument about what is right and wrong. But they only things we can say are right or wrong are those things that are based on fact.

I am a man of science and fact. For those of you LOST fans this argument should sound familiar. I need evidence that something is real, if I do not have it I freak out. This is where things get crazy. If I crashed on an island without use of my legs and I gained use back there is my evidence that something is going on that is bigger than me. But if I crash on an island and nothing outstanding happens to me I want to get the hell of off that island.

Hopefully all of these things interconnect with one another in a way that makes sense.

People are stupid. Get over yourselves and instead of getting upset and angry about it have a nice conversation with the one that offended you and just get your opinion out there.
