Fire Hydrant of Freedom

I am a Christian Soldier (I should say) and my beleifs about the church is like my beleifs about people. It really depends on your acceptance of who God is to you and what His son has done for us. I don't want to get on a podium and preach, as of yet, but religion as we know in the past has started world wars and has put fellow man to kill each other, all principles that are against the teachings of Jesus. As far as people, there are crooked people all around us, even in the church settings. It is a dangerous thing because these are some of our leaders and role models and representations of the church as a whole. Some people use religion as a stepping stone to be disrespectful and rude or use it for sexual pleasure because of their power to lead people. There are weak minds that follow the preacher, the music, the charisma and get caught into their wicked web of trust. I denounce people that use power to get what they want including adultry, sodomy, and rape to women and children. I am bless to be surrounded by a group of people, including my Pastor, that realize that the world cannot be changed. We have to set great examples not only for the church but for people who need someone to talk to or receive council. This was supposed to be what the church was about; a perverbial "gathering of the pack" (persay) so that people can talk and fellowship, not cultinize or do a "Jim Jones" with Kool Aid followers. We are supposed to bring peace to chaos. The first step is being nice to people, teaching and learning good things (such as the martial arts) and values that will make our children grow with respect for one another, whether it be race, religion, language, or gender. Training has actually gotten me closer to God because this is my vessel to show people that you can be a warrior and still have a positive impact on people's lives. And when they ask, why am I so peaceful... I can hit them with three strikes and they will fall. (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)
