Klei mi anne Fööt!!! -- Part 3.

Abstract:

• One of my biggest fuck-ups ever.

16. About three years ago, I sat down with Mario to talk about a few severe topics. That was basically the end of our short friendship, but it took me a while to notice he'd cancelled. I'm still not sure where exactly I fucked up.

and I won't be happy until he's forced me into marriage NOTHING puts a person off something more than it being rammed down their throats.

I had a discussion with Richard earlier as we walked past a church. The sign outside read: "Christianity: Boring, Untrue, Irrelevant? Come in and find out!"

I know it was meant as a snappy, happy advert to encourage people in, but I said it wouldn't work. Richard was busy dissing christianity saying it IS boring, untrue, etc. I argued that my hobbies and beliefs could be equally described thus, so basically each to their own. Christians don't find it boring etc, and otaku like me don't find ours irrelevant ^__^

However, I said the only good advertising that really WORKS is word of mouth. If I suddenly decided to go to church, he'd be 98% more likely to come with me and set foot inside that church to find out if Christianity was boring, untrue, irrelevant than if he'd just read that advert.

But I digress.

Reading all of this makes me all the more grateful that I have zero family left now. I may have spent the last 13 years all alone, but better that than obligation and destruction. Get away from the crapheads, be like the lions prowling the plains. No animal sticks around once it's grown!

except elephants. and monkeys. Ignore them, be a lion. ;)

I stopped bitching about christianity when it dawned to me that my grandparents had left all decisions about religion to their children. My parents, aunts/uncles did the same.

Aaw. Elephants. Monkeys. And bees! And prairie dogs! Why does it work for them?
