voodoo25,

=============================================================
But I bet you see a gay couple and say jesus that is sick.
=============================================================

You just judged me.

=============================================================
you see a person with alot of face piercings and you give them a dirty look as to say your better.
=============================================================

One of the nicest Christians I know has facial peircings and I think he's a great guy. Oh...you just judged me again.

=============================================================
I bet when you see a fat person and you are skinny and they are wearing provacative clothes you say look at that chic she is so nasty.
=============================================================

I'm fat. You just Judged me again.

=============================================================
I insult at times I do it cause it is my own thought but I feel bad for it up until someone sees me with all my tattoos and piercings and they give me the you don't belong in the room look.
=============================================================

My brother is covered in tattoos. I have a tattoo. I'm sorry that anyone has judged you for having tattoos, but that's part of being a human. I am 6'4 280 pounds and not too attractive. A single woman in an elevator looks as scared as a trapped rat with me. People judge me for my size and looks and automatically assume that I'm dangerous or a criminal. One guy I worked with told me at lunch "When you started here, I was scared of you, you looked really dangerous, but now that I know you, I realize you are just a big P*ssy". I'm a quiet and gentle guy trapped in a large intimidating body, so I get judged unfairly everywhere I go. I didn't choose to look like this. You choose to have peircings and tattoos. Who has the right to complain about being judged?

=============================================================
Do not judge others as God is the only one who has the right of that.
=============================================================

Maybe you should take your own advice.

voodoo25,

=============================================================
or knock my intelligence YOU are truely mean for saying a person is acting smart when they are stupid it is not my words
=============================================================

That's a strawman fallacy, I haven't attacked your intelligence. You make a statement like that and people will believe it without even trying to find out if it's true or not. Please, stop with the strawmen, because it's not fair and it just sidetracks the discussion.

I do not begrudge anyone their style of life or how they look. God knows Im no where near perfect as I said.

I have a tattoo, only one, (right now anyway), I think they are cool. Im not into the vulgar type but to each his own. I just dont want anything on my body that I have to explain or hide from my children or grandchildren.

As far as body piercings go. I have no objection to them. One of my sisters has her belly button pierced the other her tongue. I myself want my belly button pierced. I dont care for the other piercings on MY body except my ears of course. But if you like the eye brow, nose, lip, nipples, etc pierced then go for it. I mean it is your body. Any way, some of them look really cool. Still not for me, but they do look cool.

I was always raised to love the person and hate the sin, if you will. While I do not believe homosexuality is morally right, it is not my place to pass judgment on those who choose that style of life. Nor do I put them down or make fun of them for it either.

=============================================================
I insult at times I do it cause it is my own thought but I feel bad for it up until someone sees me with all my tattoos and piercings and they give me the you don't belong in the room look.

I am a black man with alot of white friends. When I go out with them or to their family events it is usually all white people there maybe a handful of black people. I get the "you don't belong in this room look" all the time but I don't judge those people. I make friends almost everywhere I go. It is your decision to judge. I know it is easy to do so but to fight the temptation is a true miracle of God. I'm not perfect. I do at times judge. And I'm not sayig I don't. But where I make up for not judging, I lack in other temptations. What you are doing is making excuses.

so,the site went down for a minute.I wannna make myself clear before this turns into me being a ****ty person.First of all I have 13 piercings,24 tattoos,I could stand to lose a few pounds,I am bi-sexual,I have black friends,mexican,all types of friends and I go to drag shows cause my friends are in them.I was making a for instance of what people say and you ran with it as a good way to attack me.The whole reason I even wrote off the top of my head to begin with is because a while back I was watching the history channel and there was a story on NOSTRADAMUS and the end prophecies and I wanted to say what I thought and get insight from others instead this has spun into a high school drama blog.Now I am a hater?I love people til people give me a reason to HATE them.I have been walked over my whole life for being a good person!I have friends of all kinds and I want to know what people think about GOD and the BOOK!Are the people I love gonna burn in hell?I am angry about hearing it and my point was,IF EVERYONE IS THIS WAY AND THAT WAY THAN WE ARE ALL SCREWED!!!My dad died 2weeks ago today and ever since that day I have asked myself alot and I just wanted some freakin insight not everyone getting angry at me I am only one person and I am one opinion.I AM SORRY TO ALL WHO TOOK OFFENSE TO MY RAMBLING.I NEVER SAID I WAS A DOCTOR OR A SCIENTIST OR ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE FACTS ABOUT **** I WAS SAYING WHAT I THOUGHT AND I ENDED UP BEING TOLD SEVERAL THINGS.MABEY NOW YOU WILL UNDERSTAND MY WHOLE WAY OF THOUGHT,WHICH IS TOTALLY A MESS LATELY NOT THAT YOU CARE!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HONEST OPINION.............

EXCUSES??????????????????????
I am a girl who has alot of questions,no real answers,no anything.You do not know me and if you wanted to know anything good, bad,or diffrent I would tell you.Wow I truely am misunderstood per usual.EXCUSE,life is an excuse,everyone has an excuse!!!!!!!!!!!AND THAT IS REAL,THAT IS FACT AND I DO NOT HAVE TO BE SMART TO SAY THAT I JUAT HAVE TO BE HUMAN!!!!!!!!

I JUST HAVE TO BE HUMAN

Okay... First I am not angry. Second... thank you for clearing that up. Third... No matter what someone does to you, you should not hate them. The biggest way to attack someone is LOVE. If someone is attacking you with hatred, show them love. Maybe they are attacking because they have not been love and if you attack back with hatred then you are "adding fuel to the fire" and at times showing love still adds fuel to the fire but mostly it shows the attacker that there is some people who feel the same way and it gives them hope. As for your father, I'm sorry you lost him. Sure there are alot of excuses in the world but why is that? Because humans don't know how to search for the truth. I am big at making excuses and I know an excuse when I hear it. But I also like to find the truth so one day I don't have to make excuses. Please accept my appology and just know that I took what you were saying as an attack to the Savior. I might have been wrong.

I couln't agree with you more.....and just because I read the bible and try each day to do as the Lord wants me to doesn't make me a bad person either.....Believe me you I'm sure I get way more guff in these forums then you do vodoo and I acceept that as part of who I am. But I can also promise you that I am not here to judge anyone.....not my job....no sir re....

But then again when you say stuff like this:

vodoo said
It is not done by us non religous people only it is done even more by the religous people!

Also when you say:
I don't go to church because I am not going to sit in a room full of fake people who act one way and an hour later are just like the SINNERS.

Do you know anyone who goes to church.....because I for one act the same whether in church or in the grocery store...and with these statements are you not doing exactly what you hate.

You know whats the worse thing.....is lumping people into a certain category...just because I am a Christian doesn't mean there is not a whole lot of other things about me.....Being a Christian is only a tiny piece of me as a whole human being.......And I think with alot of what you wrote.....you really need to get to know people as people.
THATS MY OPINION

Voodoo25

"My dad died 2 weeks ago today and ever since that day I have asked myself a lot and I just wanted some freakin insight not everyone getting angry at me I am only one person and I am one opinion.."

What can I say? I am sorry for your loss, you are obviously in a lot of pain. I could not be angry with someone in that situation. I hope you give yourself time to heal and perhaps in time come to realize there are people that care.

"you see a person with alot of face piercings and you give them a dirty look as to say your better."

>>> No, I say - OUCH!!! <<<

I had an eyebrow pierced, but it the skin rejected it...i was sad...

Anyway, as with everything in life, there will be hypocrites. They will claim to be of good faith, but end up turning on you when the tables turn. I've met a lot of them.

But the ones I call friends are true Christians, and would give their life to save another life. I have one who calls me once a week just to make sure I haven't done anything stupid to myself (I ain't getting into that), and that shows shes real.

I tried to e-mail voodoo and her account has been deleted....this makes me very very sad.....this is the perfect example of someone reaching out....and people being all consumed with themselves to see her reaching out....I tried and now she is gone......beyond sad here people.

Voodoo deactivated her account for personal reasons, which have nothing to do with this thread. Her and I chatted for 2-3 hours today, she was not upset in the least.

Jiminey Cricket sure gets the wood growing, doesn't he, Beev?

" you bet!!! He sure does, pinochio!!"

You beleive whot you beleive and I beleive what I beleive. I love and respect people despite our differences. I love people simply because, we are HUMAN. I beleive we all need to stick together and help each other out and treat each other as brothers and sisters simply because we are HUMAN.

We must lay down our pride and set aside our differences if we're going to have any chance in this world.

good to hear that.....thanks spider

This is a poem I wrote about Tattoo's, God has accepted me for who I am and I myself have been rejected by some Church members for some things in my past but never because of my tattoo or such things, I am always reminded that Just because people are Human doesn't mean I should blame God for their actions with me.
I have alot going on right now regaurding my old church and members who don't want me there so I finally said "fine I give up, they can think what they want to believe of me and who I am But I know God has a better place for me to be."
I hope you enjoy Reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Tattoo under my skin:God was the Artist

Beautiful artwork under my skin lyes my tattoo I've had since before I was born.
It looks like different things to different people everywhere I go.
The tattoo shows under my skin shows through the expresstions on my face, look into my eyes encased on display for the masses.
The tones and colors never fade in me, my tattoo accossted by the artist who put it in my body.
Beautiful work art could never have; the painting by numbers touched by Gods own hand.
tattoo under my skin as reflection, a pool of ink like blood I look into the water.
There I see it tattooed under my skin, the artist is God and the tattoo is My Soul.

love it thanks josh.
