to me it's like we're clean and they're dirty, she says.

can i say how much this comment made me want to throw up? i wanted to expel the majority of my internal organs. on her. it is precisely comments like these that make me ashamed to associate myself with christiandom. we were having a discussion about profanity on reality television. she couldn't understand why on earth people had to cuss and i said something in defense and she said "shhhhh... don't make excuses for it." of course then, being my controversial self, i opened the can of "why exactly is cussing wrong all of the time" worms, which led to her going off on a tangent about the behaviorial differences between christians and people who aren't christians. she concluded her statement of opinion with the above sentence. which i will be real honest with you, is more ugly and offensive than any expletive i've ever heard in my life. because when it comes right down to it, we're all basically in the same boat. we're all flawed, we've all sinned. being "clean" does not come about by anything i've done other than to receive a measure of Grace extended to me, to everyone. that said, how could you, in good conscience, so arrogantly declare yourself a part of the elite when your position is one that you don't deserve? you can't. let me say this. that's not what God is like.
