Unspoken - Start a Fire

Great song

Nice video

Yes it's about God

And mostly about you

And me

And everyone

About having God's glory

Within us

I'm guessing they are referring to Christ in the song.  

But Christ is truly only one way to salvation 

and no one can make me believe otherwise.

****

I realize that I like a lot of gospel music; however I have to refute claims that God is a man and that Christ is the only way; the king of all kings, and died on the cross for me. If anything he died because of "me"; because of people's idiocy and fears.

That's all a bit much for me. That kind of misogyny doesn't resonate with my heart. Sorry. I just don't believe it. My God doesn't play favorites. 

Ageism

I hate the ageism in this society

We each have a stage in our lives we are in

Are going through

And we are entitled to enjoy that age for what it brings with it

Whatever that may be

No one age is unequivocally better than any other

And I fear this ageism gets us ever closer to pedophilia

It's bad enough women shave almost all the hair off their bodies

And girls as young as 12 are offered thongs

With the noted absence of "boy shorts" as a style of underwear for girls, because it is no longer available now at target

This ageism has many bad aspects

Terrible ramifications

From the shuffling off of seniors to centers

To the objefication of children as sexual being

And everything in between


I'm sick of it

And it isn't fair to anyone on this hamster wheel

It really isn't.
