I'm So Disappointed in the Church!

Today I've been outraged by none other than a "Christian" establishment. I put that word in quotes because I've come across too many people who identify themselves as Christians and yet they shun, turn away, judge, lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, are greedy, are glutonous, and the list goes on and on. They themselves partake in the same "sins" that they judge others for. This morning, my daughter Alexa, was ready and excited to start her first day of Pre-K at High Point Preparatory Academy, which is a private school spun off from High Point Church in Arlington, TX. About a week ago, myself and my partner Bridget went to the school to pay the tuition before we left for vacation. Alexa's teacher, Mrs. Homet, happened to be there, so I found her and introduced myself and my daughter; I also introduced Bridget, as my daughters other parent. When we got back into town, I had a voicemail from the director stating that it was pretty urgent that she spoke with me before Alexa began school, preferably on Monday, September 1st, Labor day. The school was slated to be closed that day, but she would meet me there. I had a feeling immediately what the meeting would be about, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I called her on Monday and let her know that I'd be happy to meet her early Tuesday morning before Alexa's class began. I've been getting Alexa crunk about going to her new school for months. She had on her new uniform, new shoes, new backpack, and she was ready for her first day of class. I get to the meeting with the director, Cami, and soon the associate pastor of the church (which by the way is supposed to be a seperate entity from the school) joined the meeting. We got into the application, which I was told was the purpose of the meeting - she wanted to make sure we are all on the same page, slowly but surely she inched her way into asking me what the extent of mine and Bridget's relationship was. I was very open, and after several questions had been asked without asking the question, I finally said, I consider her to be my partner, which is what they'd assumed. We went round and round for about an hour about how they "love" the person, but can't embrace the lifestyle, and therefore can't in good faith allow my daughter to attend their school. WOW! Of course in our rounds, I let them know that I understand and respect their personal beliefs about my lifestyle, howsumever, I am extremely disappointed in the "Church" because the main message of Bible, whether it was God inspired or not, is about Love, with no conditions. It's not about shunning those who do things that you don't agree with, Christianity is about opening your arms to everyone, the entire body of Christ, for essentialy none of us are without sin. So who the fuck are they to judge me - this is in my opinion THE sin. No one should be allowed to go to that school, because everyone there is a "sinner". He even had the nerve to say, "Yeah, I know, I sin is a sin is a sin." You Hypocritical fuckers! I thank God, the Father, that this happened before we got deep into the school year. I definitely do not want my child being influenced by such hyprocrits. I feel sorry for them and their children being that they will have to fight through, dig out of, all of the gunk, the religion, the hypocrisy, the judgemental attitudes, the discriminatory practices that they are being taught that is completely contradictory to the Bible. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Let's study to show ourselves approved. Let's listen to the Christ within us all, when something within in you is telling you that something isn't right - it's probably not.

Mostly listen to heart, and look at yourself before you look outside yourself for the truth. Treat other's the way you'd like to be treated. Follow the most important commandment: Love your neighbors as yourself.
