What I Learned IN Church: Religious Tolerance, Immigration and Fighting for What's Right

In the world of text messages, You Tube, voicemails we never leave, IMs, incomplete sentences smileys and 30 second documentaries on the rise and fall of the roman empire, I wonder could the problems of the world be solved by a sound bite? Can everything be summed up with a cute little catch phrase like "flex sex"(google it. But BE careful...)? It's mind boggling! What Would Jesus Do? ..


Exodus Chapter 17 Twice the endurance of faith is tested. Do you see any opportunities for excuses? Excuses to: turn around and go back to Egypt, say forget Moses and bring back that golden calf, give in to Amalek or give in to exhaustion and put his hands down. In those days, battles raged for days and weeks. Keeping his hands up was no easy feat. How many of us quit for less?

Romans Chapter 5 Peace comes from Jesus even though we have been living in the midst of sin since Adam (Chasing ass since day one [Day six to be exact]). So if Adam can get us started on the wrong foot with the sinning, only Jesus (Or James Brown) can get us all on the good foot.

John Chapter 4 Jews vs. Samaritans Jesus reached out beyond human limitations. The message is for ALL people. When we put up barriers, we are not being true Christians. How many Christians do you know who "don't mess with them." or "don't speak to him or her"? So we go from Everybody being wrong in the beginning and fighting wrong vs. wrong, to fighting right vs. wrong, to right vs. right. Over who's right is mightier. It's the Facebook/Twitter generation. It's all about fighting for you're right to be right about every single thing even if it means fighting to the death by cyber bullying... Fucking Jihad!

Today with immigration, the focus is getting rid of "those people". From Spanish Harlem and Little Italy to the Indian (I mean Native American but we all know what WE ALL say behind closed doors) casinos in Northern Mexico (I mean Southern Caleefornia), we will not stand for any further dilution of our Amerikkkan culture. No more mixing, no more CauBlasians, no more Art Deco with Spanish tiles and Ionic pillars, no more Interracial porn (bye bye Kobe Thai), no more Indian for dinner/mojitos at the Brazilian place/dancing at the salsa club/snacks at the waffle house where this nice Jewish girl invites you to the Trip Hop after hours followed by pancakes at the International House of Pancakes.

In church, we choose between the five major religions and hundreds of sects within those. And we sit on our high horses and look down on "those people" who don't know the truth. Tell them all. Hippies, Jesus Freaks, Saints, Hoes, Virgins, Tramps, Buddhists, Atheists, Jews, Moslems, Hoteps, The Taliban, David Blaine, Swingers, Dancers, Disco Queens, Queen, Queen Elizabeth, Marilyn Manson, Charles Manson and the artist formerly known as Prince (Now once again known as Prince-and he is sexy). Do you know anyone, anywhere who TRULY REALLY doesn't want to be happy? If sharing what I know and the things I see brings a smile to a few people, why not spread the word and make at least my world a better place.

Today, etiquette tells us not to discuss politics and religion. So how do we learn? How do we grow? One of my best friends growing up was atheist, his parents were avid Buddhists and I have learned from them some serious moral/life lesson I would not have if I was sectarian. Another best friend was non-denominational Christian. We are all in a position to learn from one another. We live in a world where the major languages all come from four original tongues. Is it really that hard to communicate? I've sold cars to illegal immigrants, retards, sluts, hoes, niggahs on the down low, naked-dickers, a little French guy and something else. My biggest readers are fags, hags, drag queens, more naked-dickers, pimps, hustlers, a born again virgin and Roscoe. Somehow, I touch all these people and they touch me (And I like it-I like it A LOT). We all become parts of each other's worlds and become better for knowing each other. And is that what life is all about?


You kind of come off as a shock jock. Let the truth (troof) be told!! The last shall be first and the first shall be last.

I am a shock jock. I just don't want anyone to feel alienated so I clown everyone.
