Rebel Flock Creed

	1. We commit our lives as best as a human sinner can to Jesus Christ. He's the whole bottom line.
2. We feel compassion for those who hurt. Helping in any way we can is a real priority, but we don't go into it blindly.
	3. We try to make our lives transparent, faults and all, but NOT so others can see Christ working in us. People who say that are self serving and full of it. We show faults and all to show the unbelievable, incredible GRACE and FORGIVENESS that God has given us THROUGH Christ. That even WITH our faults, God still loves us, as-is!
4. We try to be champions of justice, fairness, equal pay for equal work and the occasional feminist Christian.
	5. We are thankful for parents who take responsibility for watching out for their kids, for preachers true to God's word, for a real good friend, for a real good chocolate milkshake, and for the common fork.
6.We like common sense and have little patience for slow shoppers, slow drivers, or slow people in general.
	7. We're trying to figure out where denominations are mentioned in the Bible; we're not quite sure why are they in our world.
8. We believe that God created everyone equal but also very different for a specific reason. We should be marching to our own drumbeat, not someone else's. (even if theirs sounds better).
	9. We don't believe a person can work their way to Heaven. It's a pure gift. You can't be good enough. You can't do enough work in a lifetime to earn 1/1,000,000,000,000th of the way - so stop and listen for a change.
10. Most of us are fairly conservative by the worlds' standards, but we're not right-wing fanatics, the far right, nor would we ever even remotely want to be associated with them or the moral majority. Sometimes it's not only what you say, but how you say it.
	11. We are totally amazed at how spineless most politicians are. How do they keep their jobs? Outlawing politics might be as good an idea as outlawing veggie burgers and sushi.
12. We think men or women who rape or molest or kidnap kids, should be shot on the spot. This ESPECIALLY goes for the people responsible for using children in pornography. There is a special place in Hell for them, and getting them there sooner is better.
	13. For men and women who rape, molest, or abuse their OWN kids, I can't even print what should happen to them. Sure, God may forgive them, but maybe we could just help Him out a little while these scum bags are here on earth.
14. We figure God knows what he's doing with the tribulation, rapture, the second coming and all that so we don't worry about it. And here's a cool thing - He also understands pre-destination, free will and how the two go together!
	15. As a general rule, we're mostly against abortion-on-demand in any form, especially the late term stuff, except to save the life of a mom. Some of us are still a little fuzzy about abortion in cases of rape or incest. God can forgive an abortion, and the little baby who was killed is up in Heaven playing on a giant swing set. But here's a NEWSFLASH: we found out just recently that we're NOT God, so we're not going to condemn you for having an abortion. Not our business and not our job. By the way, we're greatly relieved that we're not God; we were having a heck of a time figuring out what to do about this Aids thing.
16. If #15 bothers you, well, at least we're honest.
	17. We wish mostly everyone a good life, God's grace, love and laughter, tolerance when needed,a kick in the butt when needed, truth, justice & God's way, and mostly for you to know that we'll share our M&M's with you anytime.
