"You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything. You've got to be your own man, not a puppy on a string. Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name. You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything..." -Aaron Tippin

I've been told one too many times that Christians are closed minded people simply because we hold tight to our beliefs. But shouldn't we be respected for the fact that in today's society, we can make up our own minds instead of following the crowd because it's politically correct to do so?

Since when can't people disagree with the choices of others without being called closed minded or judgemental? Isn't that just the simple act of having an opinion?

Society as a whole seems robotic, too eager to please. Too willing to slip into the ideas of the mainstream to avoid conflict, to be viewed as accepting. Too scared to stand up for what is right. And yes, there are some things in life that are that cut and dry, right vs. wrong.

Accepting every thing this world has to offer, every thing that comes along is easy. It's the weak route. And in doing so, you lose pieces of who you are.

I'm not implying that the world convert to Christianity, but come on, have a conviction or two. Think for yourself. Reclaim your individuality. Question life. Question choices.

And if you choose not to, then at least back off of those who do.
