God must love diversity. I don't mean the false kind of diversity that certain segments of society apply to their own homogenized group of people whom they seek to promote to the larger spectrum of culture...
No not that. If anyone can actually follow that.
Start over. God must love diversity. Because people are weird. Me too. All of us are. As I sit in my coffee shop I look around and everyone here is at least as weird or weirder than I am. Think about it. We have silent people who stare, social people who stand too close, friends who laugh at everything, those who have no emotions, people who talk to much, people who are too intense, critical people who criticize even themselves, and on and on.
Then there is the People of Wallmart video: (view at your own discretion)
You can't watch this and not realize that people are weird. And you and I are just as weird. Perhaps our style is a bit more hip, but what about in front of the mirror? What odd things are you thinking right now? What bizarre behaviors do we fall into when we don't care who is looking?
We are eerie, odd, bizarre and just plain weird people.
In the midst of this acknowledgment, God STILL loves us. Sigh. Whew. Relief.
And now to end by quoting the two most popular verses in the bible:
Matthew 7:1-2
Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
