You. You say you want to be my friend. You win my trust, with time and conversation. You say you love me. There was a time in which I believed you. You have strong convictions. Convictions about life and how it is to be lived. No one can disagree. friend or enemy. there is no gray. only black and white. to disagree with your feelings is to disagree with God. You say you want to be my friend. I can not. It is not safe. I pray that you are never in a position of power, or control. Because if you are it will not be safe for me, or for those who think like me. You use my words given in trust as ammunition. you build a case. A slanderous case. built on gossip, decention, and pseudo trust. all in the name of jesus. You are dangerous. not like Aslan is dangerous. not like God is dangerous. not like truth is dangerous. but you are dangerous like a viper is dangerous. like a rabid dog. you are dangerous because you build your life on YOUR truth. the crusades were built on on truth like this. Your emotion upends you. Your fear drives you. You pray. You pray a lot. So did the pharisees. I avoid people like you. as often as possible. to disagree with you is to disagree with God. you have no tolerance for people who see the world differently. I wonder who hurt you. why you must control so much. that's what you do... you control. without knowing it, you try to control God. But God will not be controlled. his greatest attribute is love. it is how we as christians are to be known. not truth. love. you do not love, when you judge. you do not love when you control. So. I hope you understand when I write this. That I can not trust you. I can not be around you. I can not be your friend. not matter how pure you believe your intentions to be. we are not friends.
