"Yeah, well, at least I'm not ugly"
"Yes you are. And your boring. And your totaly ordinary, and you know it."
The girl they were talking about was a girl who wanted to be a model, someone who wanted to be extordinary. Its funny because he is so right, she is ugly, and boring and totaly ordinary. To me, its because she represents the world. She is just like everyone else and there is nothing special about her. While for the rest of us, like christians, there is so much. Our little relationship with Jesus makes us so...extordinary. So interesting and beautiful. And to tell you the truth...its hard for me to like non christians or christians who act like they arnt because they are so ugly and boring on the inside. They have almost no sense of morals or right vs wrong. They have no drive that makes them extordinary. I still love them as a person but to be able to understand them and agree with what they may be doing...its hard and I dont like to. Being in AP Euro really has taught me alot about my morals and my beliefs because of all the discusions we have in there and how they all turn out to be somehow connected to religion. And it is always me who is asked those questions it seems and it is always me who gives the answer that I believe is the cookie cutter answer but deep down I really believe it. I really do believe that morals are the things that you stick to no matter what, not the things that you throw out the window when u have a situation where it is tough. Morals are the thing that should make everything plain black and white, not black and white and red all over. It should not be the situation "if you were starving and poor, would you steal food?" and you go, well yeah, because im starving and cant buy food. Morals are the things you stick to when you are faced with a rough postition. It is not the thing you forget in order to benifit yourself. Have you ever noticed that? Usauly people stick to their morals until they are faced with something then they will just do whatever best benifits themself. It is not what is accualy right but it is what will get them further that they can defend for chosing. I just wish people could see...see that what they are doing is so wrong and vile and disgusting to look at. And well, I dont want to really be around it anymore..I want to run away and be with others who agree with me and live in my own world where everything is just great because everyone is doing what is right and trying to be the best they can be, not the best they can be while being lazy and looking normal. But the world will never change. It will always be full of people who just don't want to put the effort towards caring about what we do or what we say or what we even think. There will always be someone who wants to have fun and be on the wild side and wants to mess everything up for the rest of us. And we will always just deal with it. Like fighting a war that will never be won, being pushed underground almost and percecuted for trying to be what is accualy the moral and right thing. There is so much beauty in the world...but its just so hard to see with all the filth that we have covering it up.
"Do you think I'm ordinary?"
"You couldn't be ordinary if you tried."
"Yes you are. And your boring. And your totaly ordinary, and you know it."

The main thing about 'morals' is that if you are the one setting them to be a good person they are as fluid as you want them to be. If you don't believe in God, then you don't believe that there are any consequences to what you are doing. Like you mentioned about D2S- the bar is just below where you are if you are setting the goal.
I do have one question for you:
When Jesus was on earth He was fully God. Where did He spend a bulk of His time, with the Pharasees and Saducees who knew all the 'right answers,' or working and talking with those who were sinning? Where are we to be working? Just a thought ;-)
I would have to say I agree with what you say, and I understand it, I think it is a good point, but the problem is, like Katie said, God didn't make us who we are so that we just all bond together, he wants us to go to the people who call themselves one thing but do the other, he wants us to go to the party where they are all talking about people behind their backs because he wants us to show them that what they are doing is wrong and that god still loves them anyways...
