THE GRILLED CHESSUS!!!

   This glee episode talked about Kurt losing his dad to a heart attack. Well i guess that i shouldnt say "lose" because he was just in a coma. Well anyways, his friends start to help out. They do this by singing songs about faith and hard times and that have something to do with God or religion. This however makes kurt mad, because he is not a religious person. They still continue to do this and it makes him more annoyed. I would like to say that i understand where kurt is coming from. It seems that when you are at school everyone acts pretty the much the same way, Making fun of people, judging, saying the same things, talking in the same way, but when something happens to someone who already doesnt want the attention. We bring our entire youth groups or even churches into the situation and that person may not want the help of something that person doesnt believe in. They just want to be left alone. The writers are biting at the way the churches act in the U.S. today. So an answer to your second question I think that this is portrayed in a truthful manner. We may act terrible in our lives, but when we are faced with hardships we tend to lean towards God as a crutch. I tend to agree with Kurt in this instance. I thought they did a great job of not really saying out loud what they were trying to get across. If God is real, then why is he such a Jerk? Most of what they said in the show was true and thinking about it now i cant come up with something that wasnt true. So i guess you know my opinion now.

  2. Yes I also Agree with Blake we sometimes are trying to help a fellow classmate out but the only thing we are really doing is just making it worse.

  3. I am, how do the cool kids say? "picking up what you are putting down". I'm not even sure cool kids say that...

    But I understand what you're saying here, Kyle. The truth is that God isn't a jerk, He puts us to tests of our faith. There's a verse in the Bible (yes, you can roast me for not knowing it) that tells us that God will never give us more burdens than we can handle. So, in other words, if life gives you lemons, it's probably because God wants you to learn something from it. So maybe we should learn to stop complaining about our lives and take a closer look at our lemons.

  4. We should always lean and rely on God but when hardships do come, He is the only one who can really help and the only one we should go to. God definitely is not a jerk and He allows a way of escape in tough times. Good job!

  5. I totally agree with Kyle and Branden on this one. I know that it can sometimes make things worse but it's good to lean on God in trials or at least have someone leaning on him for you. God isn't a jerk. When we're at our lowest points is when we come back closest to God.
