A Good Christian.

When I was just a girl, I asked my mother what it took to be a Christian, and she told me-

-” To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus died and rose again.”-

-Then, I thought of all the people I had seen in the last few days, raving online about how the fact that gay marriage was legal was an attack against Christians-that confused me. The fact that gay people could get married wasn’t impairing their ability to believe in the three days resurrection. So, I asked my mother what it took to be a good Christian. My mother looked at me and said-

-” To be a good Christian, you must love God and love people.”-

How, then, could these people stoning and killing and beating gay people in the streets be “good Christians” like they all swore they were? My father loved me and never once had he struck me. My mother loved me but never had she grabbed me by my shirt collar and spat in my face to tell me that I would go to hell if I didn’t stop sinning. I loved my brother and sister so much that I would never entertain the thought of calling them abominations.

I knew then that these people may have been Christians but they were not good Christians.

They were cowardly, hypocritical Christians.

I don’t know what I am, and I may never know, but I know that you are not a good Christian.

I don’t aspire to be a proud woman,

I aspire to be a wicked woman.

I am religious in that I believe I am a force unstoppable.

Oh how I love the temporary nature of life.

To find beauty in the view simply because you know someday it will be gone. stopping to smell the flowers because at any moment that sensation could be lost. Being kind because you know, undeniably, that you are part of something so much bigger than yourself. 

You are part of something so unfathomably big that your human brain can’t even begin to understand it and God isn’t that beautiful??

The Big Bang means nothing if the world it creates separates you and me
