More Violence & Disturbing Thoughts
I know many of you aren't fond of my rants as they have lower viewings than my entertaining posts but I will say this. On Facebook, a friend posted a link that displayed tweets from people who praised the Orlando shooter for what he did in that nightclub. They are very disturbing yes, and what's worse is they use God to justify such a horrific act.
First, God does not condone such acts. He has made us as He has made us. He gives us a choice in every situation we have. To damn someone because of their sexual orientation, race, gender, or ethnicity is to damn your own soul. That is NOT YOUR DECISION. It IS the decision of God and God ALONE. Mark my words, He will judge you as harshly as you judge these individuals. They are people just as the individuals who have committed these horrific acts are people. They are monsters but they are people nonetheless willingly choosing to follow Satan. Those that agree with such acts of violence are also servants of Satan. I recognize none of these individuals though my heart hurts for them because they have become lost, turning their backs on a most loving and merciful Holy Father. God is NOT negativity. God IS positivity. You refer to the Bible do you? Remember that the Bible is from MAN's HANDS thus also carries the possibility of being ever corrupted. Why do you think we have so many religions? So many versions of the Bible? Do you not think that people use its contents in vain as they do the Holy Name of God? Using it to promote hate as well as your purpose of judging others is just as wrong as any crime against man. Acting in such a matter pushes people away from God and you think God smiles upon this? Nay, I say to you. He wants to draw His children near not away.
Second, why do we repeat action and share these hateful words against our fellow man? Yes we may be angered by them but do you not see that this too promotes hatred? Believe me, reading those words angered me just as much as any reasonable, feeling, loving, human being but it makes us just as bad to fight back with that same hatred. These people make their words known to get attention and they get it with every share and like. I will not share the words written or spoken by others in such hateful, spiteful ways because ignoring them is the best way to defeat them. Giving them attention is immortalizing the shooter and that is our biggest problem. We need to share stories of the victims. I invite those who knew the victims to share their wonderful memories of the individuals. The more we fight back with love, the more we defeat hatred. Obviously you will do as you will, most may not even read this but if you truly care about making a change in our country, in our world then you will not turn a blind eye or a closed heart. The victims from the Orlando nightclub shooting as well as Christina Grimmie must not have the memory of their lives tarnished by hatred or forgotten by hatred. We must push through and continue to share their stories for those of us that did not have the pleasure of knowing them. Share videos, pictures, stories of these beautiful people who had their lives stolen. There is no greater sin than robbing someone of their life. You play God and you will lose.
