I was pretending to be Jaimie with her permission.
Stranger: do you belevie in God?
You: i believe in a god.
Stranger: cool
You: why you ask?
Stranger: i am trying to help someone tho something
Stranger: are you going tho anything bad?
You: hmmm. not really. my mother has a rare autoimmune disorder, and that kills me a bit, but nothing /real/ bad that i can stop. i'm also going into high school, and i'll have to see my ex boyfriend who... did things to me. :/
Stranger: like beat you or
Stranger: did something else
You: psh. i could deal with beatings. he basically guilt trip me everytime i told him i was gonna break up with him, and then he made me do sexual things to him whenever his parents were outside smoking.
You: but that was last year. i've been really good at avoiding him whenever i saw him around.
Stranger: how did he make you do it
You: by forcing. but, i'm leaving my past behind. i'm a new me, ya know. i look way different than i did, and if i'm lucky, i don't have geometry with him.
Stranger: did you ever pray for him to get better
You: i don't pray. i have never been one for the church because of my step sister. she would drag me to this hardcore catholic church every sunday. it was very hateful, too. because of that, i'm not really into the whole jesus, god, and church thing.
Stranger: but why dont you want to get back with God? and no i am not a paster
You: well, i'm a teenager. i'm rebellious. i don't really like things holding me down. i do follow jesus teachings, but i do not do the whorshiping thing. i am also trying to find the religion that fits me the most.
Stranger: thats the problem with the world
Stranger: they want a god that fits them
Stranger: they dont want to have to work to get into heaven
Stranger: but in the end they all die
Stranger: except for the ones that turn agaisnt the fake gods and go to the real God
You: why should everyone be in a religion that /doesn't/ fit them? that's why we have all these religions. yes, they all have different gods in appearence, but i think they're all the same gods. different religions have different rules. i, personally, want to do the things i want to do. i'm not jewish because i want to eat pork. i'm not amish because i can't do the farm and no electronics thing. i'm not catholic because i can't stand all the preaching. i'm not into hinduism because i love beef. and so on and so forth.
Stranger: whats wrong with christians
You: it's just, some of them bug me. the ones that don't like gays and think they all will go to hell. also, i had the bible shoved down my throat when i was young. all the churches i went to where hateful. they said the same things over and over. that the saved ones will go to hell. the ones that follow all the rules will go to heaven. if He loves us all, why doesn't He accept us for who we are?
Stranger: he does love us but we chose not to love him we chose to sin God cannot look apon sin but if we belevie in him and love him he will forgive we dont have to folow everything he says and if we mess up once were out that is impossible to not mess up
You: run on sentience attack. :c but, He is like every other parent, correct? we can say we don't love them all we want, but at the end, we still do. most of the athiests I know, do not believe in Him because of something bad that happened to them. my athiest friends come from abusive pasts where they think He doesn't love them because He didn't answer their prayers at their time at need.
Stranger: God is our shepard
Stranger: do you know what happens if a sheep runs off
Stranger: by the why we are the sheep
Stranger: the shepard goes after it and finds it then breaks its leg
Stranger: sounds bad right?
Stranger: but he breaks it for two reasons
Stranger: one it cant run away
You: animal cruelty.
Stranger: and two then he can spend all day with it nurseing it back to health
Stranger: showing it that he loves them
You: so, is it alright for a man to beat a woman because he "loves" her?
Stranger: never
Stranger: a man is never sposed to beat a women
You: then why is it okay for the shepard to break the sheep's leg so it couldn't run away and to nurse it back to health?
Stranger: when the shepard nurses it it show the sheep that he loves it there for the sheep will not run away again
Stranger: God sometimes needs to hurt us to let us allowe him to let him heal us
Stranger: if that shepard just brong that sheep back what would it do
Stranger: it would go out again and eventauly get kill by a loin or wolf
You: why are their sheeps around lions?
Stranger: they arent but when they wonder they might run into a loin
You: they're going to wonder to Africa or India?
Stranger: there are lions and wolfs everywhere
Stranger: the lions and wolfs reprecent sin
Stranger: the shepard reprecents God
Stranger: and the sheep reprecent us
You: why do we have to be sheep? is it because sheep can follow easily?
Stranger: no its because sheep are ignorint
You: ignorant. and why aren't we dogs? dogs are loyal and man's best friend.
Stranger: are we loyal?
Stranger: we arent to God
Stranger: we disobey God every day
You: but whenever we call ourselves sheep, it makes me think that we will follow anything.
Stranger: we will
Stranger: when your best friend buys a nice skirt dont you want it
You: no.
You: because i do not like skirts.
Stranger: if all your friends party dont you want to?
You: no. i'm too busy studying.
Stranger: you know what i am saying
You: you make it sound like i should give in to peer pressure.
Stranger: you never did?
You: i'm the leader of our friend group.
You: but yet, they did not follow me. they did what they wanted to do. i just made sure there was no drama.
Stranger: good
Stranger: did it make you angry that they didnt listen
You: nope.
Stranger: your intersting
Stranger: you know God is real but you refuse to folow him
Stranger: you want to not listen to his simpel rules
Stranger: you think you cant go back to him because you are rebelise
Stranger: you know you can
You: i do not want to go back.
Stranger: but you want to live your life
Stranger: but will any of that matter?
Stranger: when you die
You: we all die at the end, so why not live it up when we have the chance?
You: why limit yourself to a religion?
Stranger: yea true if i wasnt a christian i could be doing so much
Stranger: like i could smoke like one of my friends
Stranger: or do crack like my other
Stranger: or i could even get into fights until the day i die
You: not doing drugs shows self restraint. you do not need a god to set limits.
Stranger: or i could have a few drinks and get hung over
You: or you could be outside instead of preaching.
You: you could be picking up a hobby.
You: you can write a book.
You: you can draw.
You: or act.
Stranger: why cant you do all that stuff you just said with God
You: why can't i whorship a god before the "one and only" God?
You: why can't i experiment with other religions?
Stranger: because there is only one God the rest are false idols
Stranger: in the bible it speaks of them
You: but, the "false idols" could also be God in different forms. and the bible was writen by a mortal man, correct?
Stranger: but God gave the profets the words to put in the bible correct?
You: the king james edition everyone has was edited to how he wanted the bible to be.
You: he left out things.
You: and added in other things.
You: the church has stolen from the people.
You: killed those who did not believe in God.
Stranger: when did they kill those who didnt belive or steal!
You: roman catholics threw jews in the pits for they did not convert.
You: spanish catholics killed native americans for they did not convert.
Stranger: but they didnt belive in the real God
You: the jewish believe in God. they just do not believe Jesus was the messiah.
Stranger: they believed similar stuff to christians but not all was the same
Stranger: because they were like you
You: native americans were peaceful (besides my commache anncestors) before the church came along.
You: jesus was a jew.
Stranger: they wanted to not believe in him they didnt want to worship him!
Stranger: and i am irish!
Stranger: does that mean i drink
You: and i am scottish commanche
Stranger: i am scottish too
You: the irsish and the scottish are the same people, are they not?
Stranger: they are not two diffent countrys
You: that whole area was called the same thing.
Stranger: but diffent countrys
Stranger: and just because jesus was a jew doesnt mean they have to believe in him and agree
You: and the church also killed many, many of my scottish anncestors.
Stranger: i am american does that mean i agree with obama
Stranger: mine too
Stranger: but those chruches believed the wrong
You: no. because the church wanted their religion to be the only one.
Stranger: they believed if you dont believe in what i do then off with yyour head
You: the church thought the same thing.
You: ever heard of the spanish inquisition?
Stranger: some did
Stranger: yes i did
Stranger: i heard of him i mean
You: it wasn't a him.
Stranger: i heard of it
You: do you know who started it?
Stranger: just go on
You: or why they did?
Stranger: no
Stranger: why did they?
You:
