Hate No More

So there's a lot of hate going around and frankly, I'm done.  Once and for all, I'm done.  Here's my final thoughts on the topic.  If you do not like how a particular group (example Christians but in particular the religious right) is responding to a need in our country (the need as you perceive it), do not respond with hate.  You are no better than the group or person you are condemning and you are not really solving the need that you feel so badly needs solving.  Instead of using your various social media outlets to put down and poke fun at the opposing view, get off your ass and get to work on the issue.  You are false supporter if all you do is bitch about the issue.

Oh and yes, I could have just as easily defended the other side above.  But you know what, I am a Christian.  No I am not one of the crazy Christians our media loves to exploit   I am a Christian who is trying to uphold the true principals of the bible and the lesson taught to us by Jesus.  The lessons of acceptance, love, patience, forgiveness, and did I mention love.  But my personal favorite, being a good steward of your money and resources that have been given to you.  So if you are going to put down an entire group of people,  make sure you have your facts straight and your "message" applies to all of those you have decided are worthy of your judgement. And get off your social media and go do something with your life.

I am tired of it.
