He that shall

As I was walking back from class today on campus I heard someone speaking that sounded relatively like Barack Obama. Curious I go over to the crowd to discover someone speaking about homosexuality. I did not stay long enough to hear his speech for I walked away when he raised his Bible and said "The Bible says that homosexuals shall be damned." I got so angry. The Bible is not a weapon. It is not a means for anyone to shout their opinions as right or wrong. The word of God is not a bullet to be used to spread your crusade of what is righteous to others. No man can pass a judgement on another man that says the way he lives is wrong and damnable. I hate when Christianity turns to hypocrisy and God is used as an excuse to shout insecurities.


"What is it that you want when you go to church Gabriel?"
"I want others to know that God should not wear their face. "
His eyes paused and came out of their trance to look down at me.
"Why do you ask? What do you want Shelly?"
"I desire a nameless church."
"I think that is bordering atheism"
"Aren’t you one?"
He looked at me for the first time as if he saw me, and looked within me and saw my confusion.
"I am not an atheist Shell. I believe so deeply within God that I do not need to shout my insecurities about him so loudly like others who are unknowingly bordering disbelief. "
I was ashamed. How stupid could I have been so stupid to not realize.
"I do not know what I look for."
Go with what you said. Look for a God that has no name.
"When I question God I feel like because I am questioning him my belief has faltered. And so I stop. "
"God has given us the knowledge to question him. Do not feel ashamed when you look out in the world and question what you see. "
"I do not know what I see. When I think of God, I see you. "
