Xtianity

Say what you will about christianity, the continuing degradation of society's moral compass is due the continuing degradation of the faith.

Do I sound like a doofus already?  Well keep reading.

I'm not talking about heaven or hell here.  I'm not saying we all need to be saved.  I'm not even really a christian myself when all is said and done.  What I'm talking about is what those bible stories instilled in me when I was a child.  Morals.  A sense of right and wrong.  Did they possibly "brainwash" me in other areas?  Yes.  But there is no perfect system.

When I talk about morality, I'm not talking about not letting the gays get married.  Or any other crap that the christians seem to focus on too much that doesn't really matter.  I'm talking about trust.  Everyone is so constantly paranoid because they're afraid someone is going to screw them over in some way.  This is because we all continue to lack morals.

All in all, there needs to be a form of the faith that focuses more on what's right and wrong updated for today's age.  I want the gays to be married, among many other doctrines that are just so out of date.  What we need is to be able to trust each other again.  And it starts back when we're children and most impressionable.  I don't want to be told what to do and not to do just because... that's it.  If anything, that's why we all need a little faith.
