(no subject)
Okay. Let me first start by saying that I have no problem WHAT SO EVER with people who are straight edge. That's cool. As a matter of fact, I'm glad that they have those kinds of morals and values for themselves and that they are acting on what they believe. I think everyone should act on what they believe.
I DO NOT, however, appreciate it when someone who is straight edge lectures me about not being straight edge myself. I have a friend that does this just about every time we talk.
So today, I'm start a conversation with this friend and ask "how are you?" He replied "not very good," and, me being the good friend I am, asked him why he wasn't doing so good. I got the dreaded "don't worry about it" which pisses me off in itself because it's the fucking internet. If you're not doing good, but you don't want me to know why, you can say "fine" and I'll never know the difference. This guy and I had been friends for a while and I don't like it when my friends aren't doing good, so I ask him again why he's not doing good and he proceeds to tell me that he no longer believes in God and that going to church is pointless. While I don't go to church as much as I should, I'm still going to defend what I believe. The rest of the conversation went something like this:
him: and im realizing a bunch of stuff about religion right now
him: and yeah
me: im interested, but i wont pry.
him: well at the moment
him: i've realized im agnostic
him: thats about it
me: oh wow
him: wow..?
me: no, i just...since you always lecture me about smoking and sex and stuff...im sorry. i shouldnt assume things.
him: smokings stupid.
him: it does nothing good for you.
him: thats common sense.
him: second, being a whore isn't good.
me: i also believe being agnostic does nothing for you
him: that's about the extent of that.
me: and im not a whore
me: that was really offensive
me: i have a boyfriend
me: i dont press my beliefs on you
me: its one thing to voice your opinion, its another to lecture me
him: fuck it
him: you asked
Ugh. Some people are very frustrating.
