well this week i've had some interesting conversations with different people.
first one: "Rex, do you celebrate lent?" "No" "Why not?" "cuz i dont believe you have to do it" "Thats bad, But your a devil worshipper anyways" "But why would i do it? Alot of people do it just for tradtion" "You should be giving something to the Lord" "I do... it's called tithing" "Tithing's overrated".......
Second one (20 mins after the first, this time someone else): "What are you giving up for lent?" "Nothing" "Well do you drink?" "No" "Do you sleep around?" "No" "Do you do drugs?" "No" "Why not?" "Cuz the bible says not to" "Oh you must be one of those Bible Thumpers then huh?"
Third one started because me and a friend were reading a bible and another person was saying stuff: "I dont read revelation because i dont want to know what it says" "Well why not?" "Because i dont want to know what will happen when he comes back" "Well everyone who believes in him, he will take up with him" "Well what if everyone in this room was tooked, but i was here" "well then you would have to suffer what the Lord says you will suffer" "Yea but wont he come back in like 7 years though" "I don;t know, but i can tell you this... i'm going to first time so i'm not going to find out"
so to recap: #1 i was a devil worshipper cuz i dont give things up to the Lord, #2 i'm a bible beater because i give everything up the Lord tells me to, and #3 i was talking to someone who obviously didnt know what they were talking about.
