Apparently..
We were discussing religion at home one day, and I was told I said something quite profound.

Someone asked me why I wasn't religious, I replied with this:
Quote:
I believe in living life as it is now, and not wasting it planning for the next life which may or may not even happen.

I don't want to waste everthing I have or could do, preparing and preaching about something we are not even certain that it will happen, when I could be doing things and living my life as a person should.

I have enough to worry about without the afterlife being added to those worries.


Anyway, that shut them up. Man I wish people would stop trying to "Save" me.

Hey, maybe I don't want to be saved?

Yeah, I don't hate people trying to forcefully convert "non-believers" to their religion, but I just dislike that they try to do such.

Instead of saying "God can save you" (or "Drugs can take care of that" for that matter xp ), why can't they just pitch in a helpful advice? It's like they say those things because they seemingly do not know what to do. (No offense, I hope.) sweatdrop

It seems to be a Generic solution to all of life's problems.

I have a headache

God can fix that if you believe.

My Boy/Girlfriend dumped me.
God can fix that if you believe.

My house is on fire
God can fix that if you believe.

The Devil is stealing my Soul
God can fix that if you believe.

Ok, I went slightly overboard. But it is the general picture.

I'm slightly stalking you out of random boredom.

And this struck me quite hard, because at ACW's tonight, I learned that my favorite song is actually, about Jesus.

And then, of course, all of the preps at my school keep saying "God will make you cool! Be a christian!"
