Religion is one thing... being dragged to church on Easter Sunday is another.
My thoughts on religion are scattered at best. Believe what you want and do what you want. Don't judge me for my ideas. My mom however, is on a Bible kick once again. Not only is she dragging me to church on Easter Sunday but she STILL doesn't know that I really don't have a set religion.
In a nutshell I believe there is something out there (or would like to believe) but it's so hard to tell what is true and what isn't. So many different translations of texts have gone through different things throughout time. With so many religions out there you would think one of theme has it right.
The big dividing point is that my Mom is just "God this" and "Bible that" and it really makes me uncomfortable. "I can't believe these people are doing this in the Bible it says..." which is all fine a dandy. However the Bible says a lot of things... like how women are lower than men and should be equal in certain measures.
It's hard to really articulate this sort of thing in text rather than dialog form. Basically, I know when I go tomorrow I am going to feel so uneasy listening to this priest talk to me about how God should encompass my entire life and then my mom will want to talk about it after the mass. I don't want to talk about it. There are so many skeptical things that I don't fully believe. If I even mutter that my mom will go crazy and think I'm now going to hell.
This post does my feelings no justice. Even reading over it now it really doesn't transcribe what is going through my head right now.
In a nutshell. Being dragged to chruch. Haven't gone to church since high school because I want to figure out religion for myself. I'm not ready to go to church. However, if I don't go mom will think I am an atheist (which I am not) and disown me (which she will). I'm not overreacting. She once thought I worshiped the devil because I was WORKING at Ozzfest for FYE... WORKING!!! That week sucked.
