i was reading some old blogs, and came across this from the timcratic foundation.

The LeTourneau Bubble is an intellectual eye sore to just about anyone. Most of us hate conforming to it. Frankly, the LeTourneau Bubble is just part of the much larger Christian Bubble. What characterizes both is simply Religion. Those on the inside don't think for themselves, they just do and believe whatever their pastor/professor/chaplain/peer tells them to. That is not a relationship with God, that is legalism. Living according to a set of rules or standards is exactly what Jesus criticized the pharisees for.


Of course most of my readers agree with me so far, since giving up the freedom of thought is always looked down upon by everyone, as nobody does it consciously. What I find as being an absolutely baffling phenomenon that is the epidemy of hypocrisy is the opposite side of the coin. Those people who go against the flow (which is incidentally the group that everybody thinks they are a part of) go to the other extreme. These people give up their individuality to conform to non-conformity. People who break rules or go against kosher, because they don't want to be part of the Bubble. Cussing because they can. Picking verbal fights with anyone that is so close-minded to not agree with them. Criticizing anything and everything to show how much more Christian or on-fire their lives are. [i realize how seemingly hypocritical that statement is, but I can deal with that for the sake of communicating my point] The Anti-Bubble is just as much of a Religion as the Bubble itself.


Christ was not about controversy. He was about Love and relationships with real people. If controversy came up He was not afraid of it, but He didn't go looking for it. He didn't pick up the Jewish rule book to see how many Laws he could break. He surrounded himself with children to Love them. He healed the sick and the lame. He passionately told parables to communicate the reality of a relationship with Almighty Jehovah.


"Whether you think I'm so confused
Or if you feel the way I do
So don't give in to this hate within."
- P.O.D.


He came to Love, not to fight.
