are you shocked?

do you know what i do, even though i shouldn't?

assume i know everyone's motives when i have no clue.

i'm always thinking of how tired i am of christians who condemn you to hell for doing this or that ... but i do the very same thing. i just don't condemn to hell. i leave that to the hard core judgers. i just ... ya know, write people off.

and that's my problem. i say, just" write people off. that's not just.

do you know what just means? it means guided by truth, fair, or deserved.

people don't deserve to be judged by me or anyone else.

i'm JUST going to JUDGE to motives of christians right now - while i'm at it, ya know?

i think christians have truly good motives in wanting people to turn to Jesus - only they really don't know how to go about it. and even if they do - people don't want to listen to them, because they do what everyone does - judge.

i don't think all christians are annoying and all up in everyone's business all the time, ya know? i truly think that some people really just love Jesus, and want people to know that kind of love.

my favorite bit in all of jane eyre (so far.. heh) has been this:

mr. rochester asks jane, "then you condemn me to live wretched, and to die accursed?"

and jane says, "i advise you to live sinless, and i wish you to die tranquil."

when i read that, i was so impressed with janes response. she didn't say that's how she lived. she didn't say that in order to do this, you must be this. she just said exactly what i'm sure every true God follower wishes for themselves and others.

oh jane ... i thought you had taught me so little.
