Okay so it kinda makes me mad that people "label" people because of "religion." I can honestly tell you that really frustrates me because if you call yourself a "christian" then turn around and do something that you said you wouldn't do because that's not how you are suppose to act, and say its sin to eat a fortune cookie then you just took something God said and made new parameters for yourself and it became "religious" instead of just loving God and doing what he put you on this Earth for. So in Ephesians 5 Paul is talking about not wasting your time on useless work or busywork which means that if you are just putting things in your life that are fake then you should remove them. You shouldn't just remove everything from your life just things that are making you run away from God, like if you all of a sudden become obsessed with a show and that's all you ever wanna do now and don't make room for God anymore then you need to remove it. Don't remove fortune cookies because you think its what you are "suppose" to do because you are now a "Christian" that's just ridiculous. God wants us to be happy and follow him because he loves us for what we are. So please don't be fooled by "religious" things because you will totally get sidetracted from what God is trying to tell you to do in your life NOW to make it YOUR BEST LIFE NOW!!

And I know I don't have my life together I mean come on I'm only 20, but I definately can tell when things are not what they seem to be. And I LOVE my life!! We only get one chance to live so are you gonna make it for Jesus or are you gonna make it have perameters like "religion?" I can definately tell you that I am going with Jesus on this one.
