In view of divisions

This is a sunday morning and the sermon is about division, I think. Feels strange to be sitting in the midst of like-minded people, at least by faith, without actually being able to identify with them.

But I’m still here almost every sunday, even if I partied the night before, because it is a tangible sacrifice of sorts. I’m here, not anywhere else, because I don’t think there’s anywhere better in whole; like the way I think there isn’t a pre-packaged miss/mr perfect.

There are differences between us, every single one of us who are “of Christ” because we’re still human. Like my dad aptly put it, we’re still in flesh. Flesh brings us apart, in language and even colour. I saw people praying to the God I pray to the other day at the hospital - they were all black, like the way I’m yellow. Physical differences put us apart.

Even if we were to put nature, what we are born into aside, there’re differences within christians. There are christians who have causal sex expecting God to forgive them the way God forgiven murders each them they confess. There are christians who firmly stand by that fornication and adultery are sins, are death-worthy sins.

God aside, what the -vulgarity- do people think it’s socially acceptable to -insert rude word-?

No shame.

I think the sermon is ending. No, I did not listen.

May God deliver me.
