You know what's funny. The fact that most people, who don't believe in Jesus, get so mad, almost furious when anyone tries to speak truth into their lives. Am I biased because I was raised Christian. Any athiest would believe, because I was brought up in a Christian home, it is completely obvious that it was shoved down my throat growing up and that I never got the chance to find out on my own, who I am and what I should believe in. I have an uncle who is atheist, he loves to discuss Christianity and why he believes that I was brainwashed into believing it. I was raised in a loving, caring, non abusive home, full of people who had respect for others, who believed that Jesus was Lord, full of different cultures and families because of adoption.
God IS love, life IS all about following Jesus. That's what the Duggars do. They follow God. They pray, they follow what is right. They are polite, helpful, caring individuals...maybe because their parents have instructed them to do so...but isn't that what a parent is? Teaching your children to do right? Keeping them from harm, and showing them the light that you can be, in this dark and cruel world?
I also don't see why everyone is so full of hate for people who look for a purpose in this life. EVERYONE is. A true believer in Christ isn't going to push Christ down your throat. They will simply follow Jesus's ways, be like him, and that in return makes other people want to be around them, and or like them. I have gay friends, I love my uncle, and I run into people all of the time ..who don't believe in Jesus. I don't preach to them, I don't freak out on them and tell them they are going to hell, but if they ever did come to me with a problem, you better believe my answer to it would be to find out who Jesus is. This world will eventually get worse, and believing in something that is good, and teaches you to forgive the people that hurt you, to help the needy, and to obey the two people who brought you into this world...what's so bad about that? My dad brought me up Christian..and then he ended up going to prison for raping my friend... how could I be brainwashed..when I grew up seeing wrong from the start. My grandparents brought me into their home and showed me who Jesus truly was. I still rebelled and had an abortion at a young age...I don't agree with Bill Gothard's teachings entirely..but what the Duggars seem to be doing, I only wish I could have grown up knowing that way. Having a husband who isn't abusive, who can work for his family, and marrying someone I would never want to divorce.... look at America and tell me who those people are...because there isn't a lot of them. I know everyone is entitled to an opinion...but everything is always over thought. Everyone tries to take the "different" way. You don't want to be like everyone else....well who does? So everyone is Christian? Well it takes a whole lot more to become a Christian than to just claim it. You must follow God's way...it IS the right way. You wouldn't see a Duggar murdering someone..or raping someone. They do what is good, and honorable. This world isn't permanent...its a stepping stone into heaven...and it's not our job to make an atheist go to heaven. Though it is our job to show people what Jesus is all about...and I'm not perfect..I sin just like everyone else...but if I can be even 1% like Jesus....I will have done what I was put here to do.
