The Love and the Lives of Men and Machine

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times New Roman]I came here and was so excited about the opportunity to write a blog that I wrote one.
Now I'm dedicated.
Since my first blog wasn't an introduction, allow me to introduce me. I am Martyr. I am a Christian. I allow music to motivate my moods. I have always been smitten by Sandra Bullock, even though I find her last name unattractive. My favorite board game is chess. My favorite video game is Final Fantasy. My favorite color is green. My favorite past time is talking about my favorite things.

So, now that I'm in my late twenties, I am thinking more and more about marriage. Since the whole thing with what-his-face didn't work out, I decided that I should go ahead to Hollywood and ask Sandra Bullock to marry me. I think she's divorced by now. I won't cheat. I'm an honest man. I'm a fun guy. So I decided to research her.

Here are the things I [I]know for sure[/I] about Sandra Bullock.
-I like her face.
-I like her ass.
-She plays chess.
-She plays entrancing roles in movies that have captivated my attention and my heart in ways that Kim Kardashian never could, which seems to somehow be a telling signal that I would enjoy her true personality as well as her fake ones.

Here's what I[I] think [/I]I know about this dazzling beautiful creature:
-She's an atheist.

I'm about as real of a Christian as you're ever going to meet, and as such, I only have one requirement for the girl I'm going to marry: Hot legs. I mean- that's not it. She's gotta be a Christian.
See. Even I get sidetracked by toned thighs and Spanish-black hair dyed dark, bloody red. But if Sandra can't pass the final test, the test, the test of her faith, then I know that our relationship is already doomed. You don't have to trust me on that either. Ask any number of the wonderful ladies I've been with, with whom I made a complete whole, a perfect couple from our lips all the way down to the sobbing pool of tears rent from the wreckage of the tragic ends of our relationships.
Sandra had to play a role as a Christian republican in one of the roles that makes a lot of suckers think she's a Christian- not me. I loved her since I saw her from the back side in Demolition Man. But anyway, according to an article I recently read, she was afraid that she would never be able to fully appreciate the role of a character who was so different in mindset and character than her. Yet, after meeting this actual Christian, republican woman in person, Sandra realized that the stereotypes she held for my kind are not always perfectly accurate.
Yay! She pulled off the role and saw something from a new perspective, but I couldn't care less.

Contrary to groundless claims by idealists who believe that denial is the best way to change the world, I know that stereotypes are true. I know that there are exceptions, the same way that a pair of pants is accidentally woven without a second pocket every once in a while, but, for the most part, when people acquire opinions from experiences with a specific type of person multiple times, both common sense and the scientific method demand that a stereotype be made.
A stereotype is merely some sort of negatively charged synonym for "observation."
The stereotypes must be destroyed before people will observe different things of different groups of people on a massive enough scale in order for baseless or well grounded fears to transform from one thing to another.
That is, the Christian stereotype is a disaster for all of us, saved and unsaved.
For every stuck-up, self-righteous, judgemental, unsound, greedy, uneducated, false teaching crooked Christian out there, there is another point in for the stereotype that drives the unsaved away from the Lord, who teaches none of those things.
My post is running on, but I want you all to understand me here.
Evangelizing my religion aside, if ignorant Christians did not persecute homosexuals, take it upon their own sinful selves to judge others, act wickedly in the name of God or do any number of the arrogant, idiotic things that soil the name "Christian" and pervert it's meaning in the eyes and the minds of the yet unsaved, I could be sleeping with Sandra Bullock right now.
That's all I'm saying.
That's all for now.[/FONT][/COLOR]

    What if she's willing to convert for you?

    I've seen that happen very successfully, actually. In fact, my grandfather converted from Judaism to become Christian with his wife. His family held that funeral ceremony for him- is it called a Shiv? I can't remember.
    He went on to become a great preacher, and that is a testament to how his love for a woman brought him to know Christ.

    However, I have some qualms about the issue.
    When a person becomes a Christian, it is a relationship with God, and it is something that can only be fulfilled by God and the seeker together. As a Christian or evangelist or whatever you call me, the full extent of my ability is only to attempt to show people the way to Christ.

    What that means is: If somebody converts to Christianity for me, then it could be for the love of me and not God. That would not be true Christianity, and, although I am supposed to have faith that God is in control of all things, I still fear that it could cause a complacency in my bride's search for Christ. It would be sickening to me if I had a wife who only went through the motions of Christianity, which is the least important part, in order to stay with me, somehow living in a pseudo-Christian relationship for the rest of her days and then having her unsuspecting soul suddenly whisked off to hell the moment her heart stops beating. In that case, she'd be better off without me.

    I would like to think that the above scenario is extremely rare and a positively ridiculous fear: however, in answer to your question, that is the fear that comes to mind whenever somebody proposes the idea of "becoming a Christian for me."

    If I met Sandra Bullock and she proposed that she would seek the Lord in order to maintain our healthy relationship, then I would maintain a relationship with her and do everything I could to help solidify her relationship with the Lord. Maybe she would find Him in 5 minutes. Maybe it could take years. I would support that quest indefinitely, but I would not marry her. Not until I knew as well as I possibly could, but, as they say, only God knows the heart.
    I feel weird and awkward now. It is such a difficult circumstance, and maybe I am being unreasonable.

    All I know is that I refuse to date non-Christians anymore. That's just the easiest way to go about things.

    Good question.

    I have gone ahead and watched the clip a few times, and I'm still not sure how to respond.
    I think that every new thing I see her do makes her more endearing.

    The answer is probably yes?
