I'm Sorry

Donald Miller is what I like to call an open minded christen. (to bad his followers are not the same). In his book "Blue Like Jazz" He talks about attending Reed College (I forget what state and city it's in) but this college in known for it's liberated thinking and they do not take kindly to Christian's. Donald Miller and the few christian friends he had on campus came up with the idea of setting up a confession booth in the middle of the quad during one of the schools biggest party's. The confession booth was NOT intended for non-believers to come in and confess their sins to followers of Christ, but rather for the Christ followers to confess their sins to the secular world.

They would apologize for all the things that so called "Christian's" would do in the name of God, and how Christ followers can be just as bad and in some cases worse then non-believers.

I have been inspired to do the same thing, so here it goes:

On behalf of all Christ followers I would like to apologize to the world for the following;

For every time Christians would protest at the funeral of a fallen soldier and/or a gay soldier

For every time Christians would protest at gay clubs

for our in tolerance

for being narrow minded

for being judgmental

for trying to shove religion down every body's throat

for believing that there's only one right religion

for not practicing what we preach

for being hypocritical

for casting out those who are different

for being two faced

for preaching hatred

for turning our backs on those who needed us the most

for acting like we are better then everybody else

for not stepping out of our "safe" bubble to help others in need

and for every other way we have offended, hurt, betrayed and let the world down.

For all of the above, I'm sorry
