About Me
- Name: Matt
- Location: Bolivar, Missouri, United States
Politically conservative...religiously, not so much... I think dancing is ok (even though I don't), and drinking too (as long as you don't get drunk). Going to the movies isn't a sin, and Baptists aren't God's favorite Christians. Church is more than Sunday mornings and it's not a contest to see who can dress the nicest. God doesn't exist simply to do us the favor of forgiving our sins; life has meaning and purpose and should be full of joy and love, not just the mundane. People matter more than trees, animals, or the atmosphere, but God created it all and made us stewards of it. Babies ARE human from the point of conception. Jesus did die for all people, but only for those who accept his sacrifice. America doesn't own a monopoly on Christianity, God, or Jesus, and our form of Christianity is not always right nor the best. Persecution is more about dying for our faith than being rejected by our non-Christian friends. Sin is a big deal, we all have it, and God hates it, but that doesn't give us a right to judge others whose sin looks "worse" or "greater" than ours. "Getting saved" isn't all there is to following Christ; "stumbling after Christ" is more like it.
