Gah! I always end up having a 'break-down' about every two weeks or so. :(

What happened last night was this:

I read some great articles online about some religious/spiritual stuff. I knew my mom would be interested and she was, and when I told her that I now wanted to change myself for the better, she said all I had to do was 'be the best person I could be'. Yes, that is true, but I meant like, ummm, not gossiping, eating better, going away from 'dark' things and false truths, and so on. I told her that she didn't understand what I was saying, and she told me(instead of maybe asking me what I meant) was that she did understand and she scared me with this glare of hers. :(

And now, I understand why atheists are so pissed off at christianity. Because it's all fake. Yes, Jesus was real, but people faked his life into a book that contradicts itself! One side, God is fucking evol(yes I meant to spell it that way!), and the other side, God is nice. O_O Does not compute. *explodes* Here are the links to what I learned last night. If you don't believe it, fine, but please don't judge me like my mom did, 'kay? :P

After all that, I was in my room, crying, and she came in with my dinner. And she asked me why I was upset, and I proceeded to tell her I was a loser(I dunno either) and that I don't do anything. She took it and then I got down about other things. :(

Anyway, I'm feeling better now, trust me. :D

We don't know for sure what Jesus did or didn't say. We never will. We also can't say for sure if the people who put their oral traditions on paper were recording what they felt was 100% true or not. We don't know the answer to that, and never will. We also can't fully understand what it was like to live in biblical times, and what exactly their version of "loving" and "nice" might have been. We, or biblical "experts", can guess- but none of us can know for sure.

I personally am not Christian, but I have a high level of respect for any religion and/or world view that helps its believers lead a life of kindness, giving, charity, and acceptance. Some Christians fit into that category, and some don't.

I'm sorry you had such a rough night, though. Emotions definitely run high over religion. I'm glad you're feeling better today ♥
