Sorry if me praying offends you

this is one of those rants where I'm confused about humanity....

people worry to much about words, titles, we never look at people-we look at what they're affiliated with.

once upon a time, I didn't believe in God. I hated the world and the people who raised me because something vial and horrible happened to me when I was a child. I grew up hating, wishing those who treated me badly would die.

and then an Angel appeared before me.

no, I'm not saying and actual Angel appeared before to me... physically anyways...

you see, my Grandpa died, not of something terrible, he died in his sleep of old age. It's the best way to die in my opinion and well... it woke me up from my depression. I'm not saying I picked up a bible then, no, that happened months later when I went to church for the first time in my entire life on Easter Sunday.

my families never been huge on religion, never been all "you have to believe in Jesus, you have to believe in God" they were a bit to busy for that... but that day, that day was the day I found my self. I looked at my self, looked in the mirror and found that I hated myself and that I wanted to change that.

since then, I've held onto the belief that there is a God, Jesus is my savior... and I've felt as though I've found peace.

now, before you go "you're so stupid for believing that, you were brainwashed!" or something like that, I'm not the type to push my beliefs of anyone, God gave us free will for a reason "those with out sin cast the first stone" I'd never condemn someone for not sharing my beliefs, all I can really do is pray they'll keep an open heart.

but that's why I'm not writing this right now, what has gotten me riled up at this moment was that some people have the nerve to condemn those who've said "Pray for Japan".... I know we live in a world where political correctness is the social norm, but really? REALLY? tell me why people get offended over this kind of , why does it hurt to hear someone mention anything that involves religion?

Yes, I know they're people out there that go "You'll go to hell if you-" but a good amount of us Christians, Muslims, Catholics and ect aren't all "You're going to hell" throwers. I can tell you now, I and the church I go to don't agree with that kind of language, there are some of us that are sane and still believe in God...

I just think it's kinda messed up that just the mention of praying sends people into convolutions, that something like that could make people go all up in arms... I'm not saying I'm perfect, the complete opposite really, you aren't human if you're perfect, but I mean, I don't go telling you you have to pray so why should you tell me I shouldn't or that it's stupid?

but all and all, God Bless you, I'll pray for you, hallelujah!

and Let us pray for Japan, they've had a bad day.

{edit, cause I don't feel like shutting up} right now, it shouldn't be about religion, nationality, any of that, right now there are people dying, there are people suffering and it's terrible because most of us don't have the money to do a single thing about it. people can be both terrible and wonderful at the same time, one person's giving moral support while another is telling them to "screw off you chink." I wish the world was simpler then this, better... but this is reality, this is what we must look at and pray for a better day.
