One time my family pissed me off on Good Friday (the day of Jesus's death and in the Catholic religion and several others, you're not allowed to eat meat on that day), so I went out and ate a burger. :ying: :pizza:

I was raised as a catholic and went to an all christian school up until high school, so I know how bad religious clashes can be. I was literally driven to tears once when I was told I was praying the wrong way. :cry:

I had several friends who were raised in really uptight religious families only to have mohawks and drug addictions by the time they turned 18. Go figure.

Actually, the majority of kids I went to church with that had family that were super uptight religious did that exactly.

Yes, and I already concluded I am an agnostic. I'm only staying in this hellhole until I get my own car and apartment. I'm currently saving up a shitload of cash so that the transition can be smooth. I really love my family, but I just can't stand this religion. I want to leave on good terms.

A friend of mine in high school did something quite similar. It was ash Wednesday and he joined me in line to get chicken rings (every wed, I still miss those things, White Castle is close but not quite the same) and unlike the rest of the Catholics who grabbed fish he said 'fuck it' and grabbed the chicken rings. It was quite a sight to behold. I later found out he converted to Wicca.

Religion, like most things in life, can both help and harm a person. It all depends on the environment.


TEKnician: you've basically gone the same route I did. It can be a little hard to walk that line though. I try to stay out of both religious and political debates with my family since I'm agnostic and libertarian. It makes for some fun conversations I'll tell you what. Hope the transition goes well for you.

Until we start training for our new campaign in work we actually sit around and do nothing all day. Now, I know a lot of you probably think it's not something to complain about, but when you go to work for over 5 weeks and all you do is sit and do nothing, it gets boring. Extremely boring.

NEWHO.

Almost everyone has started in different campaigns, some of us are just waiting for our one to start and there was only FIVE of us in today. They expected us to just sit there in a bay and do nothing. So, I brought a book (The Outsider by Albert Camus, seriously if you like reading, go read that book, LOVE IT. :ying: ) I had my book read by 1pm. I started at 10 and we're meant to stay until 6:30. What bugged me was, while I was at the canteen eating lunch with friends who got a break from their training, everyone else just left. So I go ask the manager that is meant to be watching us if I could leave because everyone else had and it wasn't fair if I was on my own. His reply?

Go up and sit in that bay and draw me a pretty picture.

... .___.

Needless to say I left, but seriously, draw him a picture? I'm meant to phone customers about stuff not draw for him.

So yeah, while walking home from work I phoned a friend and we went on a dander. (If you dunno what a dander is, it's like a walk but you walk really slowly with no planned direction.)

We ended up in a park playing on the tire swing and the see-saw. :ying:

I'm suppressing my sadness at the moment for something that shouldn't even be a big deal. . .
