| | I've been told that I'm too proud to accept God or Jesus as my savior,
etc. I've denied it vehemently: I'm not too proud to take
medicine when I'm sick, so I don't think I'd be too proud to come to
religion given the right reasons.
At least, that's how I always addressed the accusations. On second thought, though, maybe the accusers are right.
I am too proud to apologize for things I am not ashamed of. I am
too proud to hold anyone accountable for my actions but myself -- and
that accountability is permament. It does not go away. I am
too proud to accept someone else's penitence for my errors -- they are
mine and mine alone.
I don't want to worship a God that I must kneel before, or that I ever
feel the inclination before. I will worship a God in front of
whom I can stand erect and proud -- proud of myself, proud of God, and
proud of my actions in light of God's justice and understanding.
I am too proud to say that my state is wretched, my life sinful from
before I was conceived. I am too proud of me and my world to want
to abandon it. I am too proud to go into servitude for anyone,
man or God.
I guess I am too proud for God.
