Her passions are more spiritual??

I sat with some fellow students for lunch yesterday and one of them asked me what my passions are. I told them and then asked what their's were. They told me and added onto the end of their description, "They're (her passions) almost the same as yours, just more spiritual." I wanted to be like W-T-F, but I go to a small Christian school in the Midwest; so there's no way I would have responded with that. I just kinda smiled and we went on to another topic of conversation. The question I pose to you is exactly that W-T-F. What do you think about that? Can one person's passions be more spiritual than another's? Or was this person's narrow minded-ness showing through? You decide and leave me a comment or two.

Lau's poem/spoken word really hit me and I appreaciated it for articulating some of the frustrations I have.

Battle for the Mind

In the Christian culture, there is this idea that one battles for their mind, heart, and soul against a prince of darkness. This personified essence is one who comes to lie, kill, and destroy. However, what if in reality that prince of darkness is you? You're the one you're battling against for control of your mind, heart, and soul. What does one do with that? How would you proceed in battle when you know your enemy knows all your best moves and can outplay you?

Introduction

Awareness isn't enough. Awareness should lead to reconciliation, reconciliation with God and our fellowman. Reconciliation isn't enough. Reconciliation should lead to justice: justice socially, justice economically, justice. You have been informed. You are now aware (feel free to take the next step).
