So I'm watchcing Star Trek one day right, and I just so happen to be watching the Klingon fan favorites DVD series (yes I'm a nerd, don't judge me) and as I'm watching all of these Klingons fight and be well ruthless, and I can't help but feel invigorated by them. I mean, I'm watching Worf and his brother Kern fight off these other warriors in a bar on Q'unos (I'm not sure of the spelling, so if your a hardcore Trekky, my deepest apologies) and I'm coming alive inside. "Kill them!" I'm shouting. "Beat some ass!!!" "Drop the honorless and destroy the traitors!"It then dons on me that if I were to act that way inside of a church, most of the Christians there would look at me like I'm the biggest blasphemous, hypocrite they have ever seen. I mean, I would get looks that only convey "how un-Jesus of you". Or "He must not be Christian". I mean, I guess whats really bothering me is...."How come the church condems men for being something that God has naturally made them........aggressive. What is so wrong with being.......well.....Masculine?
I find it absolutly amzaing that if you ask a people in the church what a good Christian is, they will say something like "Well, thats a person who lives in peace, and is tolerant, and accepts people for who they are" Or "A christian is someone who avoides confrontation, and doesn't get into trouble". WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
I've noticed that people tend to skip in the bible what they don't want to accept. I mean, everybody wants to know God as the lover of all things, and the God of peace and joy, and joyness....but what about the God who told Joshua in the Old Testimante"I want you to go to there lands, and kill them as a sacrifice to me" (Paraphrasing) I mean, what happened to the God who got in Job's face and said "Do you know who I am" "Where were you when I told the ocean how far onto the shore it could go?" "Condisder Leviathan, in his power and strength" (Paraphrasing).
Jesus, if I remember right in the bible, didn't just sit around and "avoid confrontation" if I remember it right, he blatenly looked the Pharisees in the eyes and said" you are stupid you fools!" I mean, quick cultural lesson, back in those days if you called someone a fool, it was like flipping someone off, I mean it was that offensive...but oh as Christians we are supposed to be "non confrontational, and tolerant" Jesus wasn't tolerant of injustice, as a matter of fact, Jesus spit in the face of injustice when He healed the blind and the sick, and looked at the unmetntionables of society and said "Hey, God loves you, no matter what the "godly" say". To call Jesus a "non confrontation guy" would negate the reason that He was crucified. I mean, you didn't crucify nice men who were "non confrontational". That would be like crucifying Mr. Rodgers. You crucified the dangersous men of society, the ones who caused trouble, in essence, Jesus was a trouble maker.
I'm just tired of a passive church. I wanna be apart of a church that says" Sin is sin, no matter how you wanna lay the cards down, its wrong, and thats the truth. "Oh but we'll affend people" I don't think Jesus gave a damn about weither or not He affended people, but rather, if He did the right thing. Come on Church, be a force worth recconing with, be those Christians that you parents warned you about.
I'm a man, I'm violent, aggressive, and I don't perticularly care if you think I'm wrong for being that way. Sometimes, people need to get put in there place. The chruch is weak, because the men in it are weak. I'll affend you for Jesus...because I know that if I was sinning, Jesus wouldn't care about weather or not He hurt my feelings, but that He would show His ultimate love for me, but putting his boot in my rear and getting me to stop being what I'm being.
PLATACK!!!!!
