late night soapbox derby

I'm so sick of my uber Christian relatives on Facebook. I can't log on without seeing their radical Christian stuff. I'm seriously considering deleting them. Their "in-your-face" behavior just bugs the crap out of me. Granted, my aunt hasn't sent me a message on here reprimanding me for my language in a long time. Thank God

I was eight months preggers with Willow and volunteering at the hospital via Red Cross. One of the ladies got chatting to me, and she turned the subject to god. I mentioned I was religious (so, you see, don't convert me, I'm converted thanks, now shut up) but she just kept going. And I kept praying my father (my biological one, not the heavenly one) would arrive asap and save me from this hell.
Then she said 'We're all sinners, even your little one in there is a sinner, but god loves us anyway." And I wanted to see if God would save her then from a hefty shove in front of a bus.
EXCUSE ME. Don't go telling me my unborn baby is less then perfect, missy!
Dad did arrive, and I ranted what had happened, and he said "You know, I didn't get any red lights on the way here, so maybe God did hear your prayers...'

Didn't Jesus say "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." How would they take it if a Muslim can along and started preaching the benefits of Islam?

There's a bit of a stereotype about Americans... that it's the land of the free, if you're white, well off and Christian.

Oh yes it's an absolute stereotype, and it's one that exists HERE! LoL But you either have to be extremely rich, or you have to be super poor (and maybe here illegally -- or in the case of Massachusetts, from Puerto Rico) and living off the government's money that it doesn't have. You can't be in between, like Nate & I are. I filled out a form to apply for government financial aid to go back to college...and we didn't qualify. But yet I see people everyday sitting on their asses getting government aid. They'll pay them to do NOTHING but not me to better myself? It's bullshit. I get up everyday and go out there and bust my ass so that they can sit on theirs.

I can't believe that woman said that to you, dude. WTF. First of all, you're a pregnant woman whose hormones are raging. Second of all, she's saying she believes in original sin. I'm not even gonna go there on that one.

If a Muslim came along and started preaching the benefits of Islam, they'd be extremely offended and pull that victim card right out immediately. *eyeroll*

yeah, Zack and I are in the same boat- rich enough to not qualify for anything, poor enough to be worrying about money...

I spoke to my aunty, and said we should all start claiming to be of aboriginal- sorry, Indigenous is more polite- descent: cos then when Willow goes to school, the gov will pay for all sorts of stuff, and pay for her just to go to school, and she'll get all these great benefits...

[xitsmejessica]

LMAO Aboriginal Willow? I LOVE IT.

[celestialstarco]

jeez, why'd lj let me comment as anonymous stalker?

anyways... there is nothing wrong with being indigenious. In fact, there's an awful lot right with it, I think...

Hey, how come you don't have a national day of shopping?
