BLUNT

I like to be straight forward about things. Even blunt. It's just how I am. It's one of the better ways to get your feelings out there. If you beat around the bush, chances are slim that you'll get the point across. In fact, the only time I'm not really straight forward is if I'm being shy, which happens a lot actually (especially with women), if I'm dealing with very sensitive people, or if I'm trying to keep the peace.

I just like the idea of saying how you feel, instead of bottling it up for you to explode. It usually starts with a meek kindness, "Dude, I'm not sure if you should be doing that. I don't think it's a good idea." But no one ever really responds well to that. " I know what I'm doing, don't worry about it." So then you try the straight forward method. The problem is it usually involves insensitivity. So now you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. You care so much that you are now willing to be a prick, lol. All because most people don't want to listen to reason.

Have you ever went out with a friend who was dead set on finding a girl to take home just for the night? Have you ever tried telling that person that they're not making a good decision? At this point "I wouldn't do that, you're taking this break up the wrong way." doesn't make a dent in this persons mind. But say "Dude quit being a F#(&ing @$$hole, you're acting like a child." and now you have their attention. It's negative, but it's attention. But maybe that's what it takes to get them to hear you out.

Maybe, one day, we'll be able to get our point across without being so blunt. Maybe, one day, we'll be able to just see how idiotic we're acting and just stop. And maybe, one day, I'll turn into a fish with wings that can sing opera!

It's been a long time since I posted anything.

But here we go.

I was browsing Facebook a few minutes ago, and came across a post from this dude. He said something about Jesus needing cocaine to perform all those "miracles", he put miracles in parentheses. This bothers me so much.

If you don't believe in God, that's one thing. But when you verbally attack my God, I honestly won't know if I'll want to be friends with you. It's like when someone talks crap about your best friend and thinks you'll be ok with it. But the funny thing is, when you ask why they do it, they say something along the lines of "People talk so much about how they believe, why can't I talk about how I don't?" and the answer is, because you do it in such a hateful way. I mean if you said, "I don't really believe in God, it just never clicked with me. But hey do what you gotta do." I wouldn't mind at all. But it's all the hate, I just can't stand it. Partially cause it makes me hate as well. I hate hatefulness. Does that make sense?

Selfishness, arrogance, pride. When God starts getting in the way of what we want, we don't like Him. When God starts getting the credit that we think we deserve, we get jealous. I thought of a scenario earlier today. Boss gives employee a raise, employee says praise God, boss says "God didn't give you that raise, I did!" Must have been how the kings felt during biblical times.

Either way

It seems as though we let our selfish pride take over our emotions and allow ourselves to tear each other down because of what we believe in, or any reason for that matter. Why do we have to be so hateful?

Needless to say I deleted him as a friend.

I really can't stand Jesus bashing.
