Reverent Agnosticism
it's important to take the plank out of our eyes before criticizing the speck in someone else's.
this message is lost...or at best i think de-prioritized...by fundamentalist Christians.
they go around judging because more important verses in the bible tell them to fix the world and make it in there image, which they believe is Jesus' image.
the theocracy that that Bush guy in the USA is pushing is just that kinda thing. it's all about what he believes. other opinions and facts that don't fit his view don't matter. Iraq had WMDs? sure they did cuz he believes it to be so. screw the facts. they're in charge so they must be right.
the Christians i can tolerate best are not those who go around with the church lady frown condemning everyone and changing everyone. even though they're full of sin too.
MY priorities make it important to love people first, not judge them.
now, i haven't read too much on reverent agnosticism, but i have heard some things on it. i heard it's a kinda humanist anti-religion thing. but i'm not sure about that. the best i've heard of it came from the organist at a church i was at in Vancouver for a while before their sexist views drove me away.
he said reverent agnosticism is something Christians can hold along with their faith in Jesus. it's a kinda humility position where we do our best to understand the bible as best we can and pick our denomination and all that. but at the same time as being reverent as best we can, we should not be so certain as to say that we're right and all other denominations or even religions are wrong.
like, believe in what i believe, but hold open the possibility that when i die, Jesus will mention that i wasn't totally right.
after all, how likely is it for any one religion to have totally got it right when the similar or far away denominations are so wrong. it's an imperfect world and it's hard to see that any one faith is exactly correct.
to believe so, you might as well be President George W Bush where you get to make up whatever you want cuz God put you in charge of all those nukes.
gimme a break!

And then some ambiguity...
after the post with all the honesty, someone else tossed a comment in. my comments follow it.
Woo! I was hoping i was reading this wrong and actually it is ashame I read it at all. How sad, and I hope nobody takes your advice. May the lord open your eyes, it breaks my heart when people are deceived. Yes God is Good, but His word is very clear.May you truly come to know Him, May he reveal and touch your life.
i wasn't sure if she was saying she hoped she was reading my post wrong or hoping she read the comment full of honesty incorrectly.
judging by the remainder of her comment i think she was dismayd at me.
in response, i gotta say this. i know God. God is awesome. He loves me tons. he respects me and honours me as his creation and i honour him. i clearly don't agree with this person's sense of sex, but in her eyes, that makes me blind.
how sad. again, this brings me to another reference to this reverent agnosticism idea. more on that later.
in touch,
holly

Why this blog?
happy valentines day!
this blog is the evolution of the last couple years of my life as a single Christian girl, particularly my time in the website BigChurch.com, which is a fascinatingly strange place.
i went in there as i was becoming increasingly disillusioned with my church and its anti-woman, sexually oppressive stance. duh. sexual liberation and the related mental health that comes from that seems kinda opposite to traditional christianity. i went into that website to begin, in an anonymous way, to discuss sexual liberation. i was met mostly with church lady hostility, some frank and meaningful conversation with men and women, and strangely more than a few men in their 40s cruising for me.
so this blog is a place for my stories from that site and the things i've learned from it and other experiences. my travels took me from my hometown of Penticton, BC to Vancouver [UBC, ugh] to another ville-de-higher-learning in western Canada.
here's what i wrote when i started a blog in BigChurch.com a few weeks ago, a blog that got tons of flack. you can read it and its comments without logging in if you click on that link a couple lines up.
well, i'm no longer in greater penticton. in the last couple years i've been to UBC and now i'm at another institution of higher learning [and tuition gouging] in western Canada. not saying where.
i've had a good time on this site and in real life hanging out with non-christians [learning how to appreciate micro-brew beers] and christians [some of whom appreciate micro-brews too, good on ya]. Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship and a couple other Chrstian groups and a borderline cult [i think] have been interesting places to chill.
and it's interesting how much sex goes on in Christian clubs. sex of all kinds. and lots of no-sex frustration in dating and relationships. and then there's the gringding, dry humping, petting, minor masturbation and oral sex that surround dating in and around Christian clubs.
at any rate, life is good, the Lord is good to me and my body is a temple. it's important to enjoy it!
so girls, let's go! keep it real and don't censor yourself. it stunts you and keeps you from honesty. woo-hoo!
in touch,
holly.
