The day was weird
I havent blogged in a while. Thats because nothing much is going on with my so-called social life and what not. Anyway today was again one of those weird days at work. The gossip going around has been a little crazy. The rumor is that one of the ushers slept with 2 baseball players: 1 from Tampa Bay & 1 from Boston Red Sox. For baseball fans out there, sorry but I dont know which ones. We finally found out who it was though and we were surprised since she doesnt look like the type. She doesnt look like the groupie type, I mean. :???: My coworker really wanted to ask her if she did that but she didnt. I just feel bad for her since gossips spread like fire at work. Nobody can keep their mouth shut even me. I’m blabbing it in here already. :slant:
So yeah, I think I’m going to hell. These fans were talking to me about God and the life after death. They were hardcore Christians who preach people about God. They were asking me whether I’m ready about the judgement day and how everybody will be judged after they die. :hot: One of them were saying how even though a person hasnt physically killed a person, if they thought of some hate towards their brothers or sisters, thats just like killing their heart. Anyway I told them that I do believe in God and that I’m Catholic and went to an all girls highschool but I dont have the time to worry about the future. They ask why and all I said is how can I think about the future when I cant even handle the present? They really made me uncomfortable just standing their listening to them. One of them told me to read the bible- the book of James to be exact. :look: I dont know. I probably might go to hell now since I shrugged them off.

You aren’t going to hell. Christians get to people that haven’t really decided on what they believe yet- so the SCARE people into coming to chruch and worshipping Jesus. Hi, my name is Brittney, and I used to be a Christian. Really. Everything I did and said revolved around God. I would “witness” to people a lot and talk to others about God and the Bible. Which is cool and all, I was just so brainwashed that Jesus was all that matters. This world and this life can be so fucking AWESOME, and I refused to keep worrying about what God would be mad at me about, or if I was going to lose my salvation. I mean, I used to be really hard core about it. I was constantly praying instead of thinking for myself. I probably would have scared you if you came to my church, like with my arms up in the air dancing around and singing and shit like the “spirit” had taken over me or something. Worship was just all built on emotion. They bring up every bad possible thing you could be going through in your life and of course that gets you upset then they tell you to give it to jesus so of course any human would want to put off their problems on someone or something else. But YOU have to deal with your problems. YOU are what you have in this world. And you are not a bad person, Vanessa. I do think it is good to be educated on religion (all kinds) and decide for yourself what you believe, but don’t let Christian’s pump fear into you about going to hell. They’re hypocrits. The same “christians” that preach against abortion are all for putting someone on death row. The Bible is interesting, but it can NOT be taken literally. If it were, slavery would be justified… people would be hung… women wouldn’t have a voice… all kinds of crazy shit. But there are good lessons and really useful ideas in there. Proverbs is good. Anyway, don’t let their scare tactics convince you that you’re going to hell. If they’re going to tell you about God, they should tell you about the joy and fulfillment in worshipping jesus that they supposedly experience.
christianity is a HUGE subject for me. Since i used to buy into all the BS and center my life around it. For a while there I thought it actually “saved” me… but, no. I saved myself. :grin:

I know exactly what you’re talking about. My great-uncle did the exact same thing to me. He figures he got “saved” by God and earlier in his life he was thrown into the fire, in the arms of the devil. And now he’s found himself and believes in God. I’m a Catholic too, but I question the things I’m supposed to believe in sometimes. if you read the bible, it’s full of hypcrisy anyway. For example, Jesus preaches that we are not supposed to be prostitutes or have anything to do with those t ypes of people, yet he was with Mary Magdalin, who happened to be a prostitute. See what I mean? You’re not going to hell for brushing them off. Just because you don’t want to listen to them doesn’t mean anything. You’re still a Catholic, even if you don’t go to church often or don’t always want to listen to what people say. I just know what you mean when you talk about this, and I hate it so much too.
Nice site, by the way. ;P I like it
