It has been said that some people have an opinion on everything. I do, and this is my page to express just a few.
No offence nor any personal slight is intended but I have come to realize that, for some people, it doen't matter what you say, they are offended.
That's my opinion anyway, but don't take it personally.
Topics
Christianity
I can't believe the rubbish that we are dished up here in NZ in the name of Christianity. It's probably just as bad overseas. I was sent a quote that I think sums it up. "Many people are leaving the church and going back to God" and I have a book entitled "I'm fine with God, it's christians I can't stand".
Is the fastest growing church in NZ still those who are leaving the church?
However, on a positive note, Jesus Christ is still in charge as far as I'm concerned and it's Him we must put our faith and trust in and follow.
Another positive that has started to influence what happens in churches is David Murrows book "Why Men Hate Going to Church". Not before time, but it will probably take a while to weed out the weak and sickly stuff that is dished up in the name of God.
I meet many a person who has given up because of the negative things that have happened. Many issues boil down to not being able to talk about difficult issues or even express disagreement. You must 'go along with the programme', and you must obey the leader. To those affected by all this I say "Remember, Jesus didn't do this to you".
I believe the power struggle is a huge issue. Pastors are 'threatened' by anyone that would dare disagree with them, even if that person were 'biblically' correct. In my opinion too many see "Pastor" as a title forgetting it is a function.
Non-Christian
I wouldn't like to be one because look at all the violence and hate that non-christians have perpetrated in the world. Yes Christians do have problems with hate and violence. We are not immune. That is the whole reason God sent a Saviour. It wasn't because one is Christian or Non-Christian. It is because we are part of the human race. Mankind has amongst its qualities, a bias towards evil.
Computers
It has been said that it would take something like 200 years for 50 people working day and night to make the same mistakes a computer makes in a second. Therefore errors on this site are the computers fault.
Government
I've heard it said "If you have a half a mind to be a politician, that is all you need." That is only really true when you consider how tough and thankless the job is. They do work long hours and I probably only contribute $10 a year to their wages. The problem perhaps is when I have to contribute $0000's to the decisions they make.
Darwin
According to Darwin's theory, this web site could have evolved by itself. Oh no!!! According to his theory it would not exist because of natural selection and therefore better sites would have prevented its creation. Now I know you're saying "where is the intelligent design behind this site?". Good question. Like a lot of things I have to admit I don't have an answer. However I do have an opinion.
