hatespeech

i'm tired of angry political rhetoric. i'm especially tired of christ-followers who use their God-given breath to engage in angry rhetoric. just because you heard rush limbaugh or bill o'reilly say it doesn't give you license to repeat it and talk like they do. just beacuse someone forwarded you something doesn't mean you have to send it on. as a christian do you really think you're leading people to the grace and truth that is Jesus by talking like that?

and lets stop pretending we're doing "God's work" by voicing vitriolic, divisive viewpoints. of course you should speak to your values and have a right and a responsibility to do so. we don't honor God though when our speech crosses over to ugliness and hatespeech.

if only there was some collection of the teachings of Jesus that we could all have as a referrence. something in our own language that had the power to remind us how to act and how to live as followers of Christ.

related to this: i'm sorry for the one million times i've voiced what an idiot i think bush is. cause i shouldn't speak like that.
