I am a Christian,
but my religion is not my faith.
By this I mean, I do not accept the stereotype Christian title but I am totally involved with my relationship with my Lord. If you don't know him, crack open a Bible sometime and start reading. You might like what you see {I personally love Psalms and Proverbs}.
By a stereotypical Christian I am meaning those who dress up in a floral dress with matching shoes to go to Church, who frowns upon tattoos and piercings because they are "of the Devil!", spits in the direction of any other belief that isn't their own. Nah, that's not me.
I'm the one who will show up to church maybe a few minutes late, of course in my jeans and probably a brotank and bando, breakfast burrito in hand, bible covered in glitter (another story to be told), and sit next to my equally as casual friends. Now I do NOT do this to spit in the face of a the Church. I believe that this relationship with God is with me and Him. Not Me-on-Sunday and God.
Let me explain: People OFTEN change their personalities, dress, attitude, ect. just to go to church. I believe that is SO wrong. God loves YOU not another masked kid hiding his sin from God. No dude. He loves you. Mistakes, scars, memories, and all. Sounds cheesy but it's true.
Next, tattoos and piercings are NOT from the devil. Sure you can find those verses that are like "NO TATTOOS ON YOUR BODY EVER," but that was historically a totally different thing. I know amazing Christians with tattoos that are so beautiful they would make Michelangelo cry.
I love to hang with people of different views and beliefs. Just because their beliefs are different does not mean that I should judge them, their past, or anything else about them. I don't want to be that guy that when people talk about stuff they ignore what I say because people will think I am going to accuse them of their wrongs.

THAT IS MY NUMBER 1 PET PEEVE
Christians are so seclusive because of who you are which urges all those topics I just explained. Solution- Hey Christians, don't be a judge. I can be a judge too but it's on those Christians who are real jerks like this! The people who act their life out. Let me tell you, life is not a play. And although I hate to say it, you only live once. Make it count.
Now I know you, Mr./Ms. Reader have probably given up on me but listen here: Crack open The Book and get to know God by being yourself and not a fake. That is who God Really wants to know.
