Who I Am...Warning: OFFENSIVE

Ok, probably not offensive in a way most of you might expect... But It will probably offend some of you. Honestly, I don't care, I'm sharing something important to me and I hope that that's enough of a reason for you to not be offended.

The following is my side of a conversation that I had last night with a good friend. I'm not sharing any of this person's words, just my own... I omitted only a few unnecessary lines that were spoken in response to said person, otherwise it's all exactly as I said it last night.

This particular post isn't meant to convert anyone, and it's not nearly as offensive as what I intend to write tomorrow... but this Post will give many of you a deeper idea of who I am and how I function. It will also make the rest of the things I may write in the future less offensive. I hope. Anyway... On we go. :]

Disclaimer: To my Non-Christian Friends Bear with me. Know that I say this for all of you

To my Christian Friends... I don't necessarily mean you in the first or last statements, but it wasa blanket statement, and I said I'd be honest about what I typed.

To all my English Major friends... excuse the bad typing and grammar and spelling... I was in an IM, I wasn't trying to be perfect. Deal with it :P

ME: Wanna know what makes me the most different from all the christians i know?

ME: I try to find my very being and source for self... in Gods love.

ME: do you know much about the structure of the english language?

ME: lol. Ok... there are 6 different kinds of verbs.

ME: verbs tell the action... the verbs will be capitalized in the following sentences...

ME: she WALKED home from school

ME: Michael ATE a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

ME: i AM tired.

ME: anyway... one kind of verb is the BE verb.

ME: am, is, are, were, was...

ME: the verb to be is conjugated... I AM, you Are, She IS, we ARE, they ARE... past tense... I was, You were, she was, we were, they were...

ME: these verbs... BE verbs... express actual equivalence.

ME: i AM tired... when i say I am tired, that is the equivalent to what I am at that moment.

ME: right?

ME: a BE verb is like an equal sign

ME: 1 John 4:8 and 1 John 4:16 both say, and I quote "God IS Love"

ME: So... that equates God with Love. True?

ME: So... I figure... if my God is the equivalent... the verying being of love... why should I be any less?

ME: so, that is why I am who I am... i strive to Love like God... and that makes a lot more non-christians listen to what i have to say... because once they know me, they know that what I say is based on love and not on a desire to manipulate or "win" a friend to God. ya know?

ME: *smiles* that's just who i am :]
