When I was ten years old, I became a Christian. Not by being baptized and becoming a nice, respectable person, but by acknowledging Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and confessing and asking forgiveness of my sins (Romans 10:9-11). However, I failed to follow Jesus' commands: act as he would, and love one another. Two years later, while searching for Naruto fanart on this site, I stumbled upon an animation by Doom-the-wolf. Having had brief encounters with human pornography, which I couldn't stomach due to my being a bit sensitive, Doom's art and animations gave me a window for sexual freedom, without having to worry about computer viruses or being disgusted. And so my journey along both sides of the "fence" began. For the next four years, until now, I failed to study the Bible, and drifted so far away from God that I was thoroughly convinced that my actions of deviantart would send me to hell, despite being a Christian. But then I began to read His word again, and found out that a person who accepts Christ can never be separated from him and his kingdom (John 10:28-29). With this knowledge, I attempted to free myself from this site by closing my account. However, I grew tempted , and successfully tried logging in. This time around I discovered a different artist with a  more lighthearted and fluid art style than Doom. I was captured by my addiction again, hook, line, and sinker. But as my addiction resurfaced, so did my faith. I began praying often, and studied the Bible for answers. I attended a Christian camp at which I received a book- "The Cost of Discipleship", by Dietrich Bonhoeffer . This book, written by a German Christian who aided victims of the Holocaust, described God's gift of grace and salvation, which are free to receive, as being costly. Think of an indentured servitude with an incredibly good signing deal and wages. As I learned this, I examined my own life. I knew that despite my sins, God would forgive me of them if I asked him to, and I would gain entrance to heaven. However, I was failing to pay the "cost" of my discipleship: by obeying Christ's  commands of loving my neighbors as myself (which I have failed to do by supporting the addictive behaviors of others) , and telling all others Jesus' teachings (something I'm starting to make up for in this message). So, the point of this message is this: I'm sorry for wronging you by not living as who I am; a follower of Christ, and by not sharing God's message with you. If possible, share my story, and what the actual requirements are to be a Christian, with as many people as possible.

Remember: God will accept you no matter what, just so long as you accept him.
