If I had to guess, I'd say either in the shower, lying in bed waiting to fall asleep, or sitting around a coffee table with equally-deranged friends thinking of ideas.

Someone was high, right?

I don't know. Probably.

My aunt knows this extrememly religious catholic family. And sure, it can be quite annoying when they go on about their beliefs and you have to sit in a room decorated with crosses and the likes, but I'm pretty much OK with it. I do think it's over the top and a little stupid but, you know, whatever.

Something I find disgraceful though is that one of their daughters is now shunned by her own grandmother for having had sex outside of mariage. Her grandmother, who she actually got on quite well with, now refuses to akwowledge her. Her younger sister has also been banned from going to her muslim friend's house.

I just find it horrible that their beliefs override anything, including their happiness.

That's horrible my appinion is you can be friends with anyone of any language and religion and any age.
Sure my parents let me do whatever I want (nearly) but I still keep in mind all the bad things that might happen if I did something.

Kay so.

I'm officially United. Whatever that means. I'm not religious, persay, buuuuuuuut I love it because it's one of the only Christian demoninations that agrees with Same-Sex marriage and Abortions. They've been ordinating members of the LGBT community for about 20 years, I forget which. But I love it. Like, seriously, It's so accepting of everyone's views and such.

This sounds like a really good religion!

That's one of the reason I don't like falling under one religion. Most every religion is so sure that THEY'RE the only true religion and it's blasphemy to God (or gods) to believe otherwise. It's a terrible shame, really...

I believe that religion is a good thing that helps give people faith and strength and a reason to live in many cases. However, I agree with the statement that over-the-top, push-you-religion-into-others-faces is not cool. At all. Its downright rude.

Not all religions bash others, though. I don't know how true it is for you, but at my church, a Methodist church, we're pretty lenient about other religions. We realize that while people believe in the same God or a different one, whether they accept Jesus Christ as our Messiah or not, we all are people and we should treat them as such, not as if they're below us for not having the same beliefs.

I think, though, while it is annoying that people will just start shouting "Jesus is my Lord and Savior and I'm Not Afraid to Say It," being open about your religion isn't bad once in a while.

In fact, I enjoy ranting with a friend who's athiest about religion. Its great fun ^^

Yeah, my friend is atheist, and her father and grandmother are adamant Christians, so when they found out she was this close *holds up fingers to demonstrate* to leaving, because they apparantly got into this huge argument.

And then there's my other friend, whose parents believe it's their duty to "save me," and invite me to all of their church events. Some of them are pretty fun, but other times they're downright overbearing. It really torked me off when they suggested I skip band camp to attend their church's mission camp thing...

Ranting is always very good fun. Regardless of the topic.

Listening to too many can get a little much once in a while...

Mm, point taken.

And... You just don't skip band camp. You don't. I'm cringing at the mere idea of it.

Skipping band camp? Where did that come from?

You could have written my name. I don't care.

No one said anything about you specifically. We're referring to the experiences we, or someone we know, have gone through.

As long as people don't try to shove their beliefs at me, I'm perfectly fine with just about everyone.
