i'm back.  and i've got more ranting to do.  isn't that great.  i bet you're pumped now.  anyway... there's something i wanna say about a lot of christians today.  i think that we are so afraid of anything worldly we are starting to look like prisses.  the bible tells us to separate our selves from the world.  but while we try to keep ourselves pure we've got to be careful of some of the bigger sins that can slip by while our heads are turned.  like judging people with a little dirt on their face.  i'm sorta a down to earth sorta person, but in my eyes it's better to let our selves get a little dirty and hold on to our ability to love others and accept them for the way they are.  really if you think about it, it's not our place to judge anybody.  and when i say judge i mean show any kind of unkindness or disapproval.  whether it's someone with a couple tattoos or someone living with his girl friend or someone gay.  God never appointed us the job of deciding whether someone is worthy of our love or not.  of course if they've directly insulted you in some way that's different.  XP  but even in some ways we've made God out to be someone who is too holy to tolerate looking at sin too long.  but that ruins one of the most amazing aspects of God.  the fact that he can look past our sin and see us and love us.  yes God hates sin, but only because it came along and ruined his amazing peoplez he created.  so yeah.  i've decided to really work on never making people feel rejected or uncool.  every bodys cool in my book :D  ...  btw, one thing cool about being an artist is that artists are more open minded to new things.
