LONG BEACH, Calif. (March 23, 2008)--Gays accused of christian bashing is an article that was released on March 7, 2008 from religion and spirituality.com. The article goes to say that the sisters of perpetual indulgence, a group of transvestites in San Diego, Calif, who dress up as nuns.
Recently on March 8, 2008 the group has put on an event to promote their beliefs about Christianity and what they think of it. They mock the church with explicit acts.
The homosexual community wants the church to accept them, but at the same time how would they feel if Christians dressed and mocked them the way they do to people of religious faith. The article also goes to say that Christians would be called hateful bigots.
My Thoughts:
This is not a way to be accepted into something that one wants to be a part of. Nobody likes to be mocked, and everyone should be respectful to other peoples beliefs even if you don't agree with it.
The sister's of perpetual indulgence are extremely disrespectful and are never going to get what they want out of religious communities. This is a never ending battle with these two groups, and it's sad because the religious groups definitely get more negative attention then the homosexual group that is mocking them. It is a double standard.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (March 16, 2008) -- Rebellious Arab girl has posted a blog on March 14, 2008 about religious hypocrisy. She goes to talk about the meaning of Friday prayer with Arabs. She says that their are so many hypocrites going to Friday prayer. They will commit every sin since the beginning of time and then go to Friday prayer. Arab girl goes to say that its not the opinion of what people think, it is the opinion of God. She thinks these people are missing a few brain cells or too much vodka has gone to their brains. The reason she writes this is because she has come across people who preach to her about being a better Muslim, when they go drinking and clubbing. She also says it has a lot to do with her not wearing the hijab.
My Thoughts:
Rebellious Arab girl is facing what many people of religious faith face everyday. There are many people in the church that are hypocrites, but I also think they're dealing with their own convictions. Sometimes people, with out realizing that they are being hypocrites tend to give advise well, but never take it.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (Mar. 9, 2008)--Seven 24 at new song community in Oceanside, California is college ministry. The age ranges from 18 to 30-years-old. The youth pastor is Edwin Samson who is 27 -years-old. Seven 24 is every Sunday night starting at 7:24 p.m.
My Thoughts:
The worship music has more of a rock sound then the traditional sound one usually hears in church. Seven 24 is a little more edge to it. I think it is a great way for college students who have something in common get together and do what they love to do best which is praise Jesus.
Seven 24 is a little different than regular services. When one first walks in it seems like your in a rock concert. The room is dark with little light. There are smoke machines going off and there is black curtains up with metal walls up. They do this to make the youth feel more in there element. Another thing that is different is that if one doesn't understand something then you are able to ask a question.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (Feb. 26, 2008)-- According to The Wall Street Journal on February 26, 2008, nearly half of adults in the U.S. have switched from the faith which they were raised or have dropped ant religious affiliation, a survey of 35,000 adults found.
My Thoughts:
I was raised catholic and I am now christian. In my experience most of my family has switched their faith. This was just a small survey but it seems pretty accurate.
My family thought felt that we weren't getting anything by going to a catholic church. The first time I went to a Christian church I felt like I got something out of it. I didn't feel like this was a routine, I learned something new every week.
There are many people that I know that don't believe in anything now. They say that they were brain washed when they were young, and they wished they never had to go to church. I have also noticed that these people are very smart individuals with a good education and have great success in their life. I found that interesting because someone once told me that people who don't believe in the bible or God they are all very educated, I wonder why that is.

Long Beach, Calif (Feb.27, 2008)--At 5 years old, Claudia Campos came to America from Guatemala and settled in Long Beach, Calif with her father and brothers to pursue a better life.
Campos is 25 years old and works as a cashier at Ralph’s grocery store. Campos has been working there for five years and says she appreciates her job more because of the pay.
“I have been all over the store,” Campos say’s. “It is a very physical job.”
Campos is currently attending California State University, Long Beach and is majoring in Journalism. Campos would like to one day write for a health and nature magazine or have a column.
“I just want to write, I don’t care where,” Campos said. “I would really like to write a book about women and their bodies.”
Campos has a really busy schedule with work and school and doesn’t have much time for extracurricular activities. She says she makes time for the gym. Campos feels that it is good to work out and stay healthy.
“I would like to learn how to swim,” Campos said. “I never really got the hang of it.”
Since Campos and here family settled in Long Beach, she has never been anywhere else.
“I’ve never been anywhere just in Long Beach.” She said. “I would like to travel on a boat and go around the world.”
Campos does have the desire to visit Alaska.
“Alaska is calling to me I don’t know why,” she said.
One of Campos’s favorite childhood memories is going to the park with her father when she was in fifth grade. This is really the only thing that she could remember that would be her favorite.
“I always took walks with my dad,” she said. “I didn’t really go anywhere I was homebound.”
An interesting fact about Campos that no one really knows about is that she struggles with neck spasms. Campos developed neck spasms when she got very ill when she was in high school. “They don’t seem to go away,” she said. “I have been dealing with them for 5-years.” She doesn’t like to tell people about her problem because she wants to be treated like everyone else. Campos said, “I keep going everyday.”
Campos said feels like she is a pretty broad person and is more in tune with herself. She says she is mellow and understanding. When asked what is the best thing that has happened to her she said,
“I don’t think it’s happened yet.”
