In reply to: just wondering 's message, "Re: Punk/Hardcore in Ellensburg?" on 17:23:27 05/20/03 Tue

let me explain: I have always had a strong dislike of hypocracy. Christian beliefs contain alot of hypocracy but I don't have a problem with someone believing in God, Jesus or whatever as long as the beliefs are their own. What I've found however are alot of mindless sheep following the Jesus flag around simply because it's what everyone else does. I think of christianity as being very much a part of an establishment with which I would not like to be associated. A system of sexist, sometimes racist, homophobic ideals which people will wholeheartedly embrace blindly and without question simply because someone said it is "god's will." not to mention that the idea of christianity as simply a belief system is laughable in these days of the highly commercialized Creation Fest, etc. Christianity hardly stands for much besides a hot new fashion for Hot Topic to slang upon today's youth culture just like Straight edge and Nu- Metal.

Don't even get me started on "Christian punk."
P.S. Post your name, don't be a wuss, it's not like I'm gonna come beat you or anything.
