What kind of HSBC student are you? quiz on facebook...is this suppose to be funny?

After a stressful day of college and testing I decided to come home and relax a little on facebook. Needless to say I was not able to relax after deciding to take this quiz especially after reading so many comments on how funny this quiz was. Like I said earlier, call me crazy if you want (or any other name for that matter) but I simply cannot see the humor in it.

If you took this quiz you might be a SURVIVOR, REBEL, LIFER, OSTRICH or FAITHFUL-HSBC'er. There could be more but after much searching, these are the only results I could find. I do not know who wrote this quiz and honestly I don't want to know. However, if you were one of those unfortunate souls who got anything other than a "REBEL" you might just want to go ahead and kill yourself now. Check out what the results say below:

You are a SURVIVOR.

You grew up a part of the Hobe Sound Bible Church and College community, but you made your faith your own instead of swallowing everything you were told. You disagree with most conservative holiness theology and lifestyle requirements, but you remain friendly to the community, even though you have mostly been blacklisted. You got away as soon as possible, knowing that you would only become jaded and bitter at God if you stuck around. You've chosen to pattern your life after the example of Jesus; you believe God is pleased with a person because he/she loves Him and others unconditionally, and not because he/she follows a strict list of lifestyle standards. You see the beauty of God's creation all around in the world, considering nothing evil in and of itself. You have survived your HSBC experience relatively unscathed, and your faith has deepened profoundly after leaving.

You are a faithful HSBC-er.

You love Hobe Sound Bible College. You are the poster child for all things "conservative holiness." If you're male, you will probably pastor a tiny church somewhere in the toothless maw of Appalachia. If you're female, you'll probably be the perfect wife to such a pastor, remaining submissively in the background as expected. If you're musically inclined, you could have a career traveling from campmeeting to campmeeting crooning rousing choruses of "He Abides." You are part of the HSBC "in crowd." Your entire family attended, and you'll be married during your college years.

You are an HSBC lifer.

You were born into the Hobe Sound Bible Church community, and you attend the college just because that's what's expected of you. You graduate with a degree in Missions or whatever else seems easy to you. You marry another lifer right out of college and start popping out slick-haired kiddies in polo shirts. You start your own business, knowing you have a ready-made market in fellow Hobe Sounders, and you buy or build a house just down the street from your parents. You campaign actively for the Republican party, because God wants to redeem this nation through them. You adhere to conservative holiness lifestyle standards for the most part, but a little Christian pop music and short sleeves never hurt anyone.

You are an HSBC ostrich.

Like an ostrich, you have your head buried in the Hobe Sound sands, just trying to hide from reality until Jesus raptures you from this world of sin. You will be single for the remainder of your life, probably living in one of those tiny shacks on campus. Going to the grocery store is a frightening affair, what with all that sinfulness around. Thanks to the Mark Foley scandal, you are tuned out of politics, knowing the end of the world is nigh; and you threw out all your Ray Boltz cassettes after hearing he came out of the closet. All you want is for the rapture to happen NOW. Even the faithful HSBC-ers think you're a little nutty.

You are a HSBC rebel.

You have always been a part of the church and college community, but you don't agree with conservative holiness ideology. You listen to... rock music, you go to the movie theater, and you spend church services on the back pews goofing off with fellow rebels. You've actually taken the time to read the Bible with an open mind, and realize that a lot of the theology of conservative holiness is inconsistent with what you read. Unfortunately, this is all you've ever known, so you feel trapped and disillusioned. The HSBC community will eventually ignore you, since you like to start arguments about the rules, and they cannot tolerate opposing opinions. Unless you take drastic steps to leave the community, your faith will likely stagnate, and you'll drift through life looking for some kind of meaning. It's only the fear of hell that keeps you around. But to other HSBC-ers, you might as well be the person in this picture.

If you have commented on the fact that this is funny I am not here to make you feel guilty or insult you. To each his own right? But, I wanted to be the first to say this is distasteful at the least. And honestly, I feel sorry for the person who wrote this. He/ she seem truly bitter. I hope it was meant as a joke. But even then, some jokes just leave a bitter taste in my mouth and a sour uneasy feeling in my stomach.

My walk with God has been one of personal growth. My journey has been so different than yours and yours than mind. However, when I do feel like God sheds light on something and I hope I never have the attitude of bashing you for believing different than me. Whether it is that I am more conservative or liberal. Believe in different doctrinal values or whatever the difference may be, I hope I can be your friend and not bash and make fun of you. ….especially if I am the only who is changing.

Maybe you say I am taking this "innocent fun" quiz too far. But, I just find it sad. Truly sad

Satan, if you only knew!

I Want It All Back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tQBdrwj7ko

Yes, maybe this song is a little over the top but I absolutely love it! Anytime I get discouraged I watch it and make it my prayer! Many times as Christians we live such defeated lives, and forget that God is fighting our battles and He has already overcome Satan! We have nothing to fear! For so long I have been battling with the fact that satan has taken everything away from me. He started with my husband and then went on to take all my earthly possessions. That did not satisfy him, he wanted more. So, he took all our savings. He took my health and tried to take the health of my sons. He took all my hopes and dreams away. All that I had dreamed about ever since I was young. All I ever wanted to be was a good wife and mother. I never had dreams of being a business women, I never had any desire at all to go to college and "make" something of myself. He took that all away in an instant. He took away all my hard work and plans. They were all for nothing. He took away my future as a wife as well, knowing that I will be alone. He took away a good family enviroment, one where mom and dad are present in the children's home life and in a healthy loving relationship. He took away my self confidence. My esteem. He took away my passion and love for life. He took my joy. He even took away my beliefs. I was at a point where I did not know what I believed, I was confused, broken, defeated, overwhelmed, exhausted, crushed, humiliated, betrayed without the slightest desire to even live. When I say Satan took everything away from me, I mean everything. But, the story does not end there. The holy spirit was faithful to me. He ministered to me, taught me new things, opened my eyes, gave me back my joy, gave me peace, restored my health and the health of my children, gave me a home, a car, provided for me financially where I have never wanted. He gave me confidence, he gave me acceptance, trust and fulfillment I could never have experienced had I not gone through this pervious journey. He gave me hope. He gave me courage and resiliance I never knew I could posses. He gave me a song and he gave me a story that can only bring glory to him! Satan thought he had one, but God had a bigger plan!!!! One of my favorite parts of this song says.... " Devil, if you only knew what I was gonna be after the storm you wouldn't have even bothered me!" What can I say? Once again God has defeated Satan. I want it all back! And guess what, God is giving it all back to me....and then some more!
