YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN BECAUSE IM SCREAMING BUT YOU JUST CANT STOP YOURSELF!

Stick your head in the sand, nobody acknowledge the reality, the truth, the blazing message in the sky that people are being exploited all over the world, tortured, murdered, raped.
Those words finishing the last sentence are common words! Words that we hear on the news every day or in all kinds of media. Hell iv even heard the word rape use as a word to describe how one soccer team defeated the other. Words have no meaning any more! Like many words! I’m angry! They just mean nothing, neither do the photos or the video footage on the TV showing us the millions of Africans being slaughtered by A.I.D.S, because we don’t care! Hey i don’t really care! Because if i did i would have gone back immediately and sold my WRX and put my hand to the plough never to look back at the expense of my family my livelihood my health and everything that is important to me because it tells me everywhere in the bible to freaking well do that! IN FAITH.
We don’t need faith we can do everything ourselves! Hey christians! We don’t need God to feed us we do it ourselves. Iv heard that sermon preached!
Back to the word rape! When i say that word the things that come to mind, the context that i use that word is this-

If you’ve made it this far then heres your last chance to close firefox or explorer now because heres where it gets offensive and really ugly.

Rape. A three year old girl is carried into a dirty germ infested room full of maggots, their is blood on the mattress and on the floor old dirty used condoms are strewn every where. The girl is left in the room alone for a moment while her aunt goes to find her customer.
She brings the customer into the room and leaves locking the door. The little girl is “raped”.

That happens. I’m sorry but I’m not having any kids until the last one is rescued. I’m sorry but this is not going to be a silent matter anymore. I’m sorry because every conversation i have from now on is going to lead to this discussion even if all my friends hate me i don’t care, nothing apart from loving God and enjoying Him forever is more important than this. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

I’M NOT SORRY!

I am so angry i want to scream and stay up for a week to punish myself for being soft and faithless.

  • Corey, thankyou.. As i read this and tears well in my eyes, it occurs to me that you are completely right. Just how complacent, loveless, unaware and strangely Numb we are. Mate, i am guessing, as it is an alien sensation to me these days, that the tight feeling in my throat right now is a sense of desparate compassion, you know.. the type Jesus had. Who over a long period of time has taken this away from me?
    Thanks for the Reality check brother Sleap.

  • Correction: “Who, (over a long period of time) has taken this away from me…

  • Hey there,
    we’ve been away so i only got this today!
    Words don’t mean anything & that’s why me leaving a reply is difficult…….
    What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

    Corey, This is the stuff that we r supposed to be angry about if we care, which we do….when it suits us.
    I love that you’re wrestling with this & i love that U R talking about it, having these conversations, challenging people, kicking people in the arse and calling each other up into these realities is so where it’s at!

    U don’t even have to be a Christian to care about this stuff & help & have compassion & make a difference! BUT that is what WE as followers of Jesus have been called to do! I believe the mission of Christ is to ‘PUT THINGS RIGHT’, all over the world yes……but we can start with our neighbours and towns. Husbands beat wives, children are abused, Aboriginals & other minority groups are treated like crap, people are starving, hurting, dying in every country! The Love of God in us can make a massive difference!!!! What does it look like in action???
    JESUS!
    Keep talking & keep asking the BIG questions. Sorry to use so many words : (
