The last 24 hours have been a lesson in surreal-ity...surreal-ness...yeah

So I'm going to take a moment and react like a blubbering Oscar winner.

I really really really believed my post would never make it to ReveLife. It thought it was too angry and too critical. So when I logged into Xanga "just to check it before heading to bed" I was shocked to see one of my friends had recommended it....from ReveLife's site. I scrolled down a little and there it was: the most recent ReveLife article. Craziness.

It's going to take me forever to go through everyone's comments and respond to them (there's already 36).

I'm noticing a few trends, namely
1. Christians coming out of the woodwork proclaiming that they never say or do such things. I believe most of them....the funny thing is I never see them out there commenting. (If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem)
2. Non-Christians clarifying that they don't actually hate Christians. Well, hate is a little strong and I realize not everyone hates Christians, but I thought titling it "If I weren't a Christian I'd probably stereotype and dislike the majority of the Christians who comment but not all of them because I'd realize that there are also a lot of good people who are Christians and who don't treat others badly" was a little wordy.
3. Christians defending their actions as Christ-like. What are you reading? The Gospel according to Mini Me?

I might be bothered by the Christians saying "This doesn't happen!" except for all the nonChristians saying "Yes it does!!" Seriously, who am I going to believe? The accused or the victims? *rolls eyes* It's all about perception, not intention.

::EDIT:: It just got more surreal: my post is now featured on the front page of xanga.

I just feel so weird about this. On one hand I'm glad that someone out there thought that it was as important as I did and chose to put it on ReveLife, and that people are seeing it and responding to it. But on the other hand I worry about whether I did "the right thing." Am I hurting more than I'm helping? I don't think so but who knows the future?

There's also been a few important misunderstandings. Mainly that I might be of the persuasion that one doesn't have to accept Christ to get to Heaven, which I've tried to correct as I saw it, but still.

The main thing was for the offenders to see it, which I think they have now, with 937 views and 44 comments.

I did pray last night before I fell asleep that if I was wrong about this whole thing that ReveLife would kill the story...I guess I'll just have to keep trusting Him.
