: it's friday.
i'm in love. 6th November 2005
:
Sometimes all you can be is happy. This is that time. J'frickinadore le Garden State. sweet. I obviously don't write in my lj very much anymore, I'm really pretty busy than I used to be. I just wanted to say thank you for everyone being supportive to me when I needed it. This isn't goodbye, it's just an ellpsis. Okay, of course I'm not ditching LJ. I can think of 8 things that keep me sane, and this is one of them. I'm just acknowledging that I seem not to write in it. But I'll definitely make time to do just that. Love you.

This is what did write in Lauren's xanga. And then she deleted the entry, though all my points are counter-points, so I think you can figure out what was originally said for the most part.
This response is based off of your entry. Lauren....this is lame. You are basically doing the same thing that christians have done to me since I identified myself as an athiest. I never said that any religion has stupid rules, I just heartily disagree with them. I would never tell someone 'your religion (or lack thereof) is stupid', because that would be what people said to me. Yes, I have wanted to date christians. It's not surprising. The majority of people are christians, and I find some really cool ones. Often times, people believe in God, are christians, but don't do things that other christians do. Some christians believe in God just as much as you do (and when I say some, i mean a lot of people, specifically Neil, thanks man, you're great), and have compassion for others greater than many people who consider themselves proper Christians. I believe somewhere in the bible (wait, let me look this up, because I take interest in finding information on other religions) it says 'You cannot love God without loving thine brother, it's probably not word-for-word, but its John 4:20. Well, I'm your sister. The same, and to love someone, you have to love them, for them. The majority of people are Christian. I think it's ridiculous to say that it's just typical that one dates a person of the same beliefs. Yes, it happens commonly, but I've learned that from being around people who don't neccesarily believe everything I do, that I should be aware of it, just not base my opinion on a person for that. I'm good friends, I would like to think, with many Christians. It does make sense why someone would date of the same beliefs, but also, it makes sense to disregard it. I mean, when you look for a future husband...or wife...wouldn't you want someone that means a lot to you, and that you love and respect? Nowhere in that do I think it's neccessary to have the same religion? Your whole life is based on who you are as a person, and how you respond to the morals given to people through the Bible. Yes, it was a bit harsh for Justin to say he regrets dating Leah, but now I can see how he responds to certain situations. However, there is a difference between telling the truth and being brutally honest. One could say 'yes, Leah is a fantastic person, but ideally, I would have dated inside my religion.' Excerpt: "And if you really are interested in dateing Christians like Justin or Ethan...maybe you should consider looking into their religion rather than hateing them" Well, I Was interested in dating them, but now that I know how they feel about diversity inside dating, it disgusts me. I have read parts of The Bible, and I find it hard to pay attention to, because of my strong disregard of everything in The Bible. I have given it a chance. Do you think that I wouldn't, if people have hated me for not being Christian? I have. But that's the difference between us, you strongly dislike other religions, because you are set in your ways. I don't dislike the religions as wholes, in fact, I sort of like some of the ideas and concepts. I just don't believe in them and am often frustrated with concepts that are taught. Also, I think the 'looking into' was sort of trying to get me to change beliefs. I've studied different religions. I am religiously aware. But you know what? If this is how a 'Real Christian' acts, then no way do I want to be part of that, and no way do I want to be your idea of "Saved" (p.s., it's edited because i misstyped a bit) 27th November 200424th November 2004 |
