I've been thinking.

If Jesus were alive today, he would have dinner with transvestites, AIDS patients, illegal immigrants, gays, and Arabs. There is so much intolerance taught by the Church. Just like there was two thousand years ago in Israel. Didn't Jesus come to teach us to love one another, to accept one another just as we are? Why, then, do people hold the cross as a banner over them as they hate and loath and teach their children to do the same? Why haven't we learned to accept and cherish one another, flawed as we are? Why can't we just be? I think it is incredibly Unchristian to hate people, especially based on things they cannot change. But it still isn't okay to hate someone because of the choices they make. I don't care if you think being gay is a choice or not, it is wrong to hate people because of their sexual orientation. There have been so many people since Jesus preaching love and coexistence. Martin Luther King Jr. Ghandi. Why can't we actually emulate them like we claim to? We say we have fixed all of our race issues, all of our religious intolerance. That's bull. We're just as hateful as we were two thousand years ago when God decided, "These people need to be taught a lesson!" Let's hope that if He decides we need more teaching, that it is another example, instead of a punishment (i.e. The Flood). What I'm trying to say is: Love others, you jerks!
