Well I heard Jesus He drank wine......

Yeah so I often think of the Miranda Lambert song "Heart Like Mine" because (I'm sure alot of people say this) but its a pretty accurate description of me. The chorus says "Well I heard Jesus He drank wine and I'd bet we'd get along just fine. He could calm the storms and heal the blind and I'd bet he'd understand a heart like mine."
I know that I'm not the most likeable person and this is a message to all of those who are my "friend" on Facebook but you don't particularly care for me.
This is where I begin to slightly rant just fyi:
I consider myself to be pretty cultured when it comes to other Christian religions other than Catholicism. One thing about Christians in general that I've never been able to quite figure out is that some have a very skewed view of the world. People try to keep their children from the "evils" of this world and from people who are "a bad influence". If you ask me, which you didn't but who care, that's absolutely ludicrous! Living life like a horse with blinders is so uncultured and that's how we end up with stupid things like stereotypes. LIVE LIFE!!! Its OK to let your children explore the world. Now some uber Christian parent reading this may say, "Now Christina," (here's where I roll my eyes), "you don't have any children so how can you know this?" Excellent question!! I don't know this. Its just my philosophy on life and if you think I'm wrong congratulations you have just thought for yourself! Those same parent may also say, "Well the Bible says", (this is where I dramatically sigh), " that parents are to raise their children to be good Christians and live according to God's plan". My response: yes that may be true but the Bible doesn't say shelter your children that they are naive to the rest of the world.
I guess in a way I'm so tired of being judged by people who don't really know me and take the word of other people on my character rather than just taking the time to talk to me and get to know me. It has recently come to my attention that people call me, as they once called Socrates one of the greatest minds to ever lived, a bad influence for their children. To a certain extent I would agree with you. If you think that someone who tries to show kids that there's more than one way to look at the world bad then yeah I'm a terrible influence and I should be stoned.
To my most recent Socratic charge, my response: yup and I'm proud to show the world without a biblical filter. Yes I go to clubs, yes I can sometimes be rather lude. I AM ME. If you don't like it MOVE ALONG! If your kids like me then they're smart. LET OTHER PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS!!!
Because I'm a nice person I won't mention names but I'm just fed up with being judged by people who "claim" to not judge others....lest ye be judged right?
I may be a "heathen" by some people's standards, but I love the Lord. I know how to pray. I am by no means passing judgement on a specific religion or sect of religion, I am simply stating observations that I have experienced. And if you happen to be reading this and think this pertains to you then feel free to express your feelings OF me TO me and not let me have to hear it through the grapevines. :)
And I started with Miranda so I'll end with Miranda. In the same song I mentioned in the beginning she say, "I fly away from it all today" and that's what I plan to do as well <3
