--- Quote from: warz on October 21, 2009, 05:05:00 pm ---That's nice, but I always find myself rolling my eyes at these kinds of stories. I can't put my finger on why, exactly. Maybe because I feel like I've been a church-goer all my life, and kept myself out of doing "hood rat" things because of moral reasoning, despite having the opportunities, and I feel like you're just doing this for a easy way out with somebody telling you that all the pain you caused other people doesn't matter anymore. But then that'd make me very judgemental. So, I don't know where I stand but I do know that I definitely rolled my eyes while reading this several times.

This is why I had a hard time looking up to people that I knew too much about at church. Our youth leaders used to tell us about all the terrible things they used to do, and that it lead them to church. Awesome. I'm sitting in church listening to somebody preaching about everything you shouldn't do, except they've done it.

I haven't been to church, much, since I got my drivers license years ago because of this, but I still consider myself an active "prayer" and stuff. The politics that come a long with going to church are just retarded, though.

I am truly sorry that you were unable to look past what you think you see far enough to discover the point of this story.

The easiest way out would have been to rot in prison or perhaps just get myself killed… It really is amazing to think that there is good news. I am choosing to take that same hope to a rapidly declining populace and if possible contribute to the life of someone in a positive manner. I am not interested in the ease of my burden, rather the living of life as described by Jesus Christ and the taking upon myself of His.

Is that all an allegiance to God is to you? Politics and the preaching of morality? Please cast what man has done with religion and the church aside, and cast me aside with whatever suits you best, but discover that what I was trying to convey is that there is a living God in which you can experience if He so chooses to manifest Himself to you in such a way. Please see that my point was this: if you will take the record of experiences I have claimed to be true and recognize that a low life piece of shit such as I had been granted them by God, imagine what could be in store for you in your own personal relationship with God. Forget me, forget the supposed church and really find God for yourself.
