I'm kind of crabby so I probably shouldn't be doing this, but it's been a while since I've blogged and besides I need an outlet to vent.
I'm okay with the fact that most people on twitter either don't believe in God or pretend not to. I'm completely aware that I'm of a small minority of people on twitter who openly admit that I am somewhat religious and I do believe in a higher power. I don't take offense to the anti-religion, anti-God, and anti-Jesus jokes. To each their own. I've starred them when I thought they were funny and I've even been known to blaspheme for comedic effect. I honestly have no problem with non-believers.
What irks me are the ones who in one tweet claim to be an atheist and then in their next tweet blame God for recent tragedies. Which is it? Do you believe God exists or not? He can't be held accountable for the shootings in Arizona if he doesn't exist. I don't know. Maybe you were just trying to be funny, but I didn't see that it as having a funny tone. I will be the first to admit that I can be obtuse sometimes, so maybe I'm just not getting it, but I really don't think it was meant to be a joke. If I'm wrong I apologize.
Again, I have no problem with atheists, as long as they have no problem with the fact I believe in God. Despite my very dirty tweets, bad language, blasphemes, and everything else, I do pray and occasionally go to church. Not very often, but I do go sometimes. Maybe I'm the one who is a hypocrite because I tweet certain kinds of jokes, live a certain way, but still believe in God. I would argue that I am fully cognizant of the evils that I do, and I believe I will have to answer for them one day, but I am what I am. I do what I do. I say what I say, and I believe what I believe.
I fucking hate Truthful Tuesday.
