The glow is already off the rose
Dec. 1st, 2004 10:22 amPlease, God. The woman who just called me? Is she a trial of my faith? Please do not let her hire Olivier. I'm not sure I have the Christian patience to deal with her day after day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Me and God
Date: 2004-12-01 03:41 pm (UTC)But since you asked, when I was about 8? Another eight-year-old witnessed me. :)
Though I don't describe myself that way v. often. I think of it a fair amount though. I pray every night, though not a lot more frequently. Having read the Old Testament a couple of times, I have residual worries about slash and God relationship with the gay men I love.
Skeptic that I am, it's a major inconsistency in my personality and thought processes that causes me a lot of emotional strain. I seriously cannot talk about God, faith and religion in any kind of personal way without becoming very emotional and teary.
Having come to all of this on my own, through reading the Bible and thinking about life, I tend to cling to the idea that Christ is love and that it is hard to imagine him punishing the good just because they didn't read or believe the right religious text, you know?
