Christian Values.....

The endocrine doc I work with was sitting there talking about a bunch of stuff tonight and we got going on this topic which is a constant thorn and was recently highlighted during a discussion with a co-worker.

He mentioned that he just hated it when people go off on the "I'm a Christian" thing, like it makes them better, more forgiven. The female co-worker (who yaks up Christian philosophy and music and all that on a regular basis) had mentioned the night before that she was very excited about her daughter having her ex-BF over(sleep and sex on the agenda) . He is "with"another woman and has had at least 2 children with these 2 girls. She considers him a great friend and mentioned that he told his current GF (not her daughter) that he would only want to have a baby girl with the co-worker's daughter, not the GF. Just why any woman would put up with that crap is bad enough but to be excited about your daughter being treated that way and tout your life as Christian is way beyond my level of understanding.

I am NOT a Christian. I believe our world and all life is sacred. I believe we should worship and care for the earth and praise every sunrise and every drop of rain. I believe we should mourn cruelty and ignorance. We should all do our best to make any one person happier today, make our little space cleaner or prettier, be kind to our world. When I walk my dog in the morning I am blown away by the beauty of a tree, the energy of a new puppy or the smile of a stranger. I want to always feel that wonder at what the next moment might bring..........
