So something very interesting happened this week. An old friend from Texas visited and we got to talking about anything and everything. The subject of what we both thought about homosexuality and gay marriage came up and she kind of got upset with my views. I don't think it's something we're born with but something people can choose with their freewill. But who are we to tell these people they are disgusting or that we hate them when I sin just as much or more than they do. She couldn't comprehend how someone gay could also be a Christian. She was arguing that it was a lifestyle choice and knowing it was wrong was a huge sin and they're going to hell. I know stealing a clove of garlic from the grocery is a sin but I still fucking do it. I knew living with that douche bag was a sin but I still did it. We know things are wrong yet we all continue to do them. Am I not judged by my lifestyle just as they are? Is it possible to be accepting and tolerant of everyone's lifestyles while living the lifestyle that I believe God has set for me? Am I doing wrong by being so excepting of others? To me it's like she's saying, "If you're a sinner you can't preach." Even though I have done some messed up things in my life, I still have found freedom and forgiveness, I'm sure my friends do too. But lets be serious here, if you're spending time with God, you're going to figure out what part of your life He hates and it's then you'll have a decision to make. Am I making any sense?

I might be wrong, but right now I feel like God just wants me to love everyone.

A quote from someone I randomly came across tonight that reminded me about the other night with my friend.
"The times are changing and this will not be an issue in 10 years. These ignorant politicians will soon be extinct and a new generation of open-minded, liberal, freethinking and less-regressed youth will be filling their places. Who are they to judge gay people as they kill, maim, starve and punish lesser countries around the world everyday? I'd say their sins are much worse than ours."



So anyways an update about myself.

I'm starting to record. I have someone 'coming into the studio' this week. Dear Jesus I can't wait for that to be a full time job.

And that's all you really need to know about me right now.
