Believing Isn’t The Problem

I’m kind of halfway watching the end of Dogma on Comedy Central. :movies: I love that movie. It’s just the kind of religious movie that I happen to enjoy. Alanis does such a good job as God in that movie. It’s so cute and funny.

Speaking of religion, I stumbled upon a thread on Avon where Seth was telling Alea that he’d basically proven Christianity to be completely false. He uses these huge essays to explain to any Christian that their religion is false because he has something against Christianity and Christians. He’s a hardcore Atheist. He’s so hardcore in his anti-Christian attitudes that he gives the kinder Atheists a bad name. When he goes off on his anti-Christian rampages, I just want to thwap him over the head. I know that some Christians are hateful and deserve to be told that Christianity isn’t the religion of choice for every human being. Seth, though, tends to pick on those who aren’t hateful just as much as those who are. Somehow, its wrong for Christians to pick on Atheists, but its perfectly fine for Atheists to pick on Christians. It just doesn’t make sense.

Anyways…so I got my Cultural Anthropology test back. :teacher: I got a 44 out of 50. Not as good as the 52 out of 50 from the first test, but I still did better than some. And it is a passing grade.

Ugh. I just got an e-mail from TFL warning me that my Utah fanlisting was about to be removed for not being finished. WTH? I submitted the form on December 29, 2003, so I know its been finished. As for any other problems, I never got a Troubles notice. How the Hell can it be okay to remove a fanlisting when I didn’t even get the damn troubles notice? Also, how do you not get one form when other forms (submitted that day) are received?

Look, I’m sick of having to write NOTE AFTER NOTE in RHS’s diary & I haven’t finished the stuff I need to do on this account, so I’ll just get all opinionated here…

RHS:

My mother has been a Mormon since I was 10 years old. In fact, it was on the day of my 10th birthday party that she joined the Church. She educated herself greatly before she joined. She also educated me. I didn’t join because it didn’t feel right.

My father’s aunt decided that my mother was joining a cult and wanted to “save” our souls from being sucked out of God’s reach forever. (BTW – she’s a devout Southern Baptist…she also hates Catholics.) We both read the information she gave us, which was the information that you’re trying to give me.

I DID go to exmormon.org, but it reminded me of landoverbaptist.org and jesushatessmut.org…it wasn’t exactly something you’d take seriously if you were in my position.

I’ve researched and researched and researched the Church since I was 10 years old…I’m now 17. I’ve taken the investigation lessons twice. I’ve said both times that I am not currently feeling that it is the right church for me to join.

HOWEVER…

Just because it isn’t right for me that doesn’t mean I condemn it.

Mormons are Christian by simple definition. They follow and believe in Jesus Christ. You’ve never said why you think they aren’t Christians…you’ve just said that you’re right and I’m wrong. I’d like it if you’d back up your fight instead of waffling.

I am currently arguing this with you and someone who considered me to be her close friend until she found out that my mother is Mormon and that I don’t take crap from people who decide to belittle them. You know, it’s funny, you’re both 24, but you act like you’re about 12.

Anyways…

What I started this for, is that if you have nothing productive to say to me…then please quit responding to my entries, because quite frankly, I find you rude and I don’t like rude people. I don’t mind people disagreeing with me, but the way you’ve disagreed this time and in the past has really just pushed me to decide that if you continue to leave rude notes in any of my diaries, I WILL delete them. If they are well-constructed, they may stay…otherwise, you might as well find a new target to pick on.

I’m stubborn and I’m not changing my opinions for anyone…not even another redhead.
