which i am. let's just put that out on the table.
i'd put the youtube video i found of the final scene of the movie, but lionsgate doesn't allow embedding and i'm not a fan of breaking the law. you can google it if you haven't seen it. and i highly recommend the movie.
i also know well in advance, that i will offend someone with this post. i'm not stupid. hell, i'm probably one of the most offensive people you'll ever meet.
but i'll say it with a smile! :)

anyways...
in light of good friday, easter and just the fact that i wanted to listen to a little miranda lambert this morning, i thought i'd share this song that has a line it in that pretty much epitomizes my thoughts on god.
in case you weren't able to catch all those lyrics, here they are again in written form:
I ain't the kind you take home to mama
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I'm on my second drink
Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folks say I should quit it
And I just smile and say "god bless"
Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing
Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
And I'll fly away from it all one day
And I'll fly, I'll fly away
But these are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
He'll meet me with two long stem glasses
And make a toast to me coming home
Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand
Understand a heart like mine
Oh yes he would
the chorus is what i think really speaks to me, it's bolded AND italicized above. look at me all fancy.
unlike some people from kansas, i don't think God, Jesus, Allah, or whatever you want to call the deity you worship hates you. or me. or anyone. i sure don't think "God hates fags" as fred phelps is so fond of saying.
congratulations, fred phelps, you're famous for being a douche bag.
god loves everyone, even if you like to partake in a little bit of wine every once in a while.
i'm just sayin'.

in case you didn't follow the link from above to the "God Hates Fred Phelps" website, this is my favorite fact on the page: "The church at Westboro which he leads has 71 confirmed members, 60 of whom are related to Phelps through blood or marriage or both." - fredphelps.com
does the "or both" bother anyone else? now i'm going to have to google if fred phelps married his sister or something.
I like that song. And God doesn't hate anyone. I think he knows exactly what His children go through, and understands their hearts. And He loves us anyway.
