I am FAR FAR too cynical for Church/Christianity/life?
Reasons why I am a bad person, version one billion point 0.
Today we did baptisms at my church and several of the kids being baptized were 15 and under in significant except that during our baptisms the associate pastors read a little something inspirational to get the crowd to understand why the participant has chosen to be baptized. The thing that makes me a cynical.evil.person. is that as they were reading the notes of 14 year olds exclaiming how they had gone astray from christ (all kids who grew up in church and have never a. left or b. done ANYTHING remotely "bad," I know, cause I know the kids) by playing sports and hanging out with kids and that this baptism signified there rededication to christ.
Audience: AWWWWWW, sniff, "you go girl!"
cynical.evil.person. internal monologue: WTH has a 14 year old experienced that could even remotely be a re-dedication to christ, in addition to the fact that these KIDS still have a ton of life to live, if the guilt over doing sports and not being perfect starts now they are screwed... why are they making them write dialog when all that needs be said is that they wanted to be baptised and felt it was the time. This is stupid.
I am also a bad person because: I think the mortgage bailout is completely ridiculous and think we should let people who lived outside of their means, deal with the consequences, and the corporations that did the same thing, should be responsible too, and realize they killed their company.
Yes, I am heartless.
I also think the people in Texas that willfully didn't listen to a mandatory evacuation should be charged a fine of $10,000.
I don't care they didn't want to leave... stupidity should a crime.
