"That's NOT What A Christian Would Say.."

Here lately, I have been noticing the double standards people have.
They add these Christian artists on Facebook, and then absolutely SHRED the artist to pieces the very instant they say something that said people find "Non-christian". I have watched these online Facebook showdowns, and I can tell you, they are NOT pretty.

Often times, we as Christians put these Christian artists, authors, and figureheads on pedestals. It happens, it is something that humans do when they admire people. However, we also tend to forget that these Christians we have hoisted up, are just like the rest of us. They aren't perfect, I mean, have you looked in the mirror today? I sure have and I can tell you, I'm nowhere near perfect. The sad thing is, with the level of scrutiny that goes on, these few people have been such jerks that if I encountered them as a non-Christian, I'd forget the entire religion as a whole. We are a body of Christ. What good is it to have one hand constantly slapping the other? It makes it harder for the body to hug the ones that need it.
The fact of the matter is, people forget that Leaders are people too...and they are going to say what they want to say. You can, can't you? Either way, at the end of it all, YOU only answer for YOURSELF...so, the same goes for them. Stop worrying about it, geez.
To the ones that like to judge,
First of all, it is not your place to judge. So, get off your high horse and come with me down to the ground. We are all really nice down here AND we serve cookies.
Second of all, when did "NAKED" become non-Christian?! ADAM AND EVE WERE NAKED ALL THE FREAKING TIME IN EDEN!
Thirdly, if you are SOOOOOOO in tune with Jesus, how could you forget about the plank in your own eye and try to get the piece of wood out of someone else's?

If we all just stopped judging our fellow Christians' actions, and put all of that focus on loving other people, just THINK of what we could accomplish. I struggle with judging too, but I just don't know when it became okay to rip others apart. I understand that some of you think that I probably am wrong, and think that leaders should set an example. Well, they should. But none of the things that have been said are questionable. When the Christian leader starts talking about gathering pitchforks and hanging the nearest Rabbi, THEN we will talk.

Remember to love others as Christ loves us.

Until then,
