The "Christian Right" have it all wrong

Some people reading this are going to disagree as soon as they read the title...but keep reading and see what you think.

As I said before, I am a "Mormon" I am a "Christian" I believe in God, I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus died for our sins, I believe that God loves me..and that all of us, no matter what, are children of God.

What I have a problem with is people who believe that what they believe is the way that EVERYONE must believe. I don't believe in using scriptures to fight your battles. I don't believe that God hates anyone. I don't believe that "HATE" is a family value, and I don't believe that we can tell what a "FAMILY" consists of anymore. I don't think that a leader of any religion should stand at the pulpit and tell the congregation how they should vote.

I believe that people have to think for themselves. Take everything they have learned and decide for themselves what it is they actually believe. I think that a person is much smarter than a crowd. I believe that one voice, if speaking the truth, is much louder than a million voices screaming together. I believe that you should read the scriptures, and instead of taking one verse at a time, remember that at the end..God loves you, no matter what you have done. His son, Jesus Christ died for you. It's not your place to judge, or be judged by anyone here on earth. That in the end, God will decide what your fate will be. He will judge you by the intent of your heart. I'm not saying that criminals shouldn't go to jail, they have to pay for breaking the laws of the land. I am saying, that if you truly believe in what you are doing, if they way you are living makes you truly happy, then don't worry about what others think or say. It's YOUR life. Shame on them for judging you harshly. At the same time, however, you must be willing to be held accountable for your actions. Don't hide behind a lawyer. Stand up and say "This is what I did. This is who I am! Bring it on!" I have NO RESPECT for these "activists" who commit murder or arson, or bombings, then go to court and plead "NOT GUILTY" People, stand up and admit what you did, and tell the world why..you might spend the rest of your life in prison, but at least we'll know you aren't a coward!

Well, my ranting as gone on long enough for now. I still have a lot more to say, but it will have to wait..mommyhood is calling..

Peace to everyone!
