I think it is rude and unacceptable. Granted, I think differently about things now. But even when I was doing what I did and cursing like a sailor, I didn't walk around- well.... lol.... never mind. I had a shirt that said, "Niggaz ain't..." on the front. And on the back it said, well, you know what it said....
So, I guess I can't go off on them and call them heathens for having it in their status on Facebook and Myspace. But now that my eyes have been opened, I see how ridiculous it all is. Talking like that is not conducive to anything positive. It sets no boundaries. It's lewd. It's rude. And people love it!!
It's funny how we grab onto and base our lives around the words of celebrities. Celebs have no power. They can't save you. They can't get you out of a rut. They can't heal. They don't even know you! Yet, we watch them faithfully. We make time out of our days to watch their shows. Faithfully! We know when the album is going to drop. We give them our money. This is worship, people. Yet, we can't find time to give God a simple thanks...
Remember that commandment??
Whether you know it or not, like it or not, we are making these images, people, shows, music, our idols! It's being put before the Lord.You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything
that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth Exodus 20:4
What would you rather do?
Watch a football game on Sunday or go to Church?
Watch American Idol on Wednesday night or go to Bible Study?
Stop and give God thanks for what He's done or finish listening to that song on the radio?
This may seem extreme to some. But I'm a believer. And I speak from experience. I did it too. And it's something that I have to work through. I don't want to put anything before God.
And I definitely am not going to walk around talking about, "Girl did you see the way he was acting? That was just plain bit**a**ness."
HORRIBLE!!!
