Pensive Thoughts.

The Christian church has two venerable traditions of (completely wrong) theology, each of which says:

1) God is love but I'll be able to get away with it even though I know I'm doing the wrong thing.
2) You're all sinners but I'm not because I'm doing the right thing but the rest of you are going to roast in hell.

But the real aim of life is to come to know God as He is in Himself.

I once thought you could only "see" the Kingdom of God when you die. But the Kingdom of God can be seen now and operates in this world.

Everyone wants others to do the same vices as they do. Thieves want others to be thieves. Drug addicts or users want others to take drugs. Drunkards want everyone to drink. Corrupt officials try to corrupt others. People who use prostitutes want their friends to come along with them. Christians are not the only ones who evangelise.

We all feel incomplete, broken, messed up. Everyone hides it, so everyone thinks everyone else has it together much more than they do. This brokenness is the effect of the fall, the effect of human sin, we all share in it, we are in the same boat. Like a sect, the LGBT* movement want to convince people that they feel this way because they are not expressing their (supposedly latent) sexuality - but in the end, sexual 'freedom' only enslaves people more certainly in their messed up, broken lives.

The brokenness of humans is convenient for psychologists because it gives them an income.
