Hater Jesus

Today was a day for the history books! Myspace.com Now has over 100 million members! As someone who watches the news too regularly, I stumbled across quite the interview tonight on MSNBC. Basically, these 4 people were yelling at each other about Jesus and what is disrespectful to Jesus. It was actually quite comical! If you are a myspacer, then you know that everything bad that is happening in the world is myspace.com's fault! (Ha ha ha) Well today's myspace atrocity is that they support people who hate Jesus! Amidst all the yelling and name calling on my TV, I thought I might as well log on. Once again, I had to see for myself what all the fuss is about...

Supposedly this guy has more friends than the population of the world! WOW! How did he do that? He is more popular than Tom!? This black and red page is designed as a place for people to express their hate of life, the world, politics, religion, and yes...JESUS! I find it hilarious that his top 8 friends (Bitches) include Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Nick Lachey, Denise Richards and the Olsen Twins. Quite the Hollywood endorsement!

I am actually disappointed in the sight though. I thought for sure it would be more offensive and off the wall. It is actually a rather boring myspace if you ask me. Lots of comments from people expressing what they hate...blah, blah, blah!

What saddens me about this site is the song clip that is posted just above the picture of Madonna performing as if she is hanging on the cross. The song is a lovely, hymn like, tune that non-chilantly tells of how if you mess up or "sin" that God is going to Fu*k you up! Over and over it repeats these "sin" scenarios and the conclusion is always the same... God is going to Fu*k you up! Then, Hater Jesus quotes a scripture..."At midnight the Lord struck down all the first born in Egypt, from the first born of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the first born of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the first born of all the livestock as well. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead."
Exodus 12:29-30.

Hater Jesus then goes on to post this statement...
"Does God hate anyone? The answer is YES!"
"Dedicated to all those who hate in the name of Jesus!"

Hmmmm...Hate and rebellion seem to be the theme here.

I guess from the outside and from looking at verses such as Exodus, you might conclude that the God of Jesus is a hater. But what screams out to me about all of this debate is that only someone as radical and crazy as Jesus Christ would still be causing this much debate and controversy 2000+ years after walking on the earth. I love it!

At the same time, my heart breaks for all of these myspace proclaimed haters. I truly believe that hate comes from not knowing the truth and our own insecurities. I know that is true in my case!

I don't know why God chose to reveal his heart to me. I don't know if I ever will. I surely do NOT deserve it! I MOST definitely do not have it all together! I am a sinner like the best of em. But, I have been forgiven. I don't understand the forgiveness, but my life has been changed, and NO one can deny that!

Christians are imperfect, hypocritical people! Religion has screwed too many people! So called "Christ Followers" make use of their Wednesday evening by fighting and judging each other on cable news networks.

But...Jesus has not changed. He is still the perfect, Holy, Sinless God that he has always been and always will be. And, although I suck a lot of the time, all I can say is that I love God, I want to be like Him, I am trying, and I fail a lot. But, for some reason, He loves me just the same.

I hope for Hater Jesus that he continues to explore these thoughts and be a part of the conversation. And, I hope that someday he will realize that God is not here to Fu*k him up for everything he does wrong! That sure would be a scary and awful way to live!

To all of you fellow myspacers... Congrats on a historic day, and giving prime time TV something to talk about!

I love being a part of the conversation!
