So im in school right now for automotive. My class is 21 people, 19 of which are guys. We have 2 girls. One of them happens to be extreamly extreamly religous. Like wears "have you found jesus" and "the lord is my savior" t-shirts daily. Any ways, working in a shop with mainly guys, we swear and cuss and stuff when we are working. Any guy who has had to work on somethin that wasnt easy to work on or has hurt them selves working on somethin knows about this. Any ways, so the other day i bashed my knuckels..
![]() thats after a week of healing. I took a good chunk out of the top join of my middel finger too. It was alot worse when it happened back on topic, when i did this i yelled out "GOD F*CKING DAMNIT!!!"..mainly cuz it hurt like hell. Any ways, this girl has givin me sh*t b4 about "taking the lords name in vain". I personaly am not religous in the slightest, havent been since i was 11. So because i said that, she yelled at me for half an hour straight about how "even though i dont belive in god, i should respect other peoples religons". Im totaly ok with that, but she honestly expects that every person in my class or in any shop ever is never gonna say "god damnit" or "jesus christ". So she got so offended by me smacking my knuckels that she actually went to the head of our department and b*tched at him for an hour, and is not trying to make it so that if we say that we are gonna get kicked out of class for the rest of the day. Heres the majour downside to this all, the head of our program and the teacher we had that day are both big on religion too. So now they are trying to force religous belifes on us and addapt our lives to what they want because of their relgion. Personaly as some one who is not religous in the slightest, i think its great for any one to belive in any thing they want, but am offended by them trying to force their belifes onto me. I know its nothing big, but I personaly hate HATE when people try and change who i am and try and force their belifes on me. Like i mean ok, if it was just me cussing once or twice she gave me crap, i would be ok with it, but its when she goes to try and make it so that we are kicked out of class, like we are in grade 3, thats where it crosses the line. Like she actually yelled at me one day saying i was supporting satan and demonic worshipings because my InFlames t-shirt had their deamon logo. Any ways, im out of ideas of what to do, mainly cuz i dont wanna come off as a complete ass or offend her more than i already have. Like Im a nice guy, but i come off as a jack ass alot of the time. I mean, im ok with religon and peoples belifes, my girlfriend is a devote Catholic, but it just irretates me when people try and change my belifes or force theirs on me. |

I just walked passed the guy and he said "you are selfish" or something of the sort. and i wanted to yell @ him and tell him i had AIDS for him to stfu for being an ass (i dont have AIDS). end story. |

OK I grew up going to church and my family are still big Christians. I don't go to church these days but I still live by the beliefs that I was brought up with.
In my opinion that girl is totally right - the catch is that the way she is handling things is totally wrong ![]() I prefer it if people don't swear and if they are Christians then I will have a go at them about it. But if a non-Christian swears then it doesn't bother me. You can't go around expecting people to change the way they are for no reason and trying to force people like she is will simply end up having the opposite effect. And fair enough if you had sworn for no reason her point may become slightly more valid but come on - after gouging his hand in automotive class I would say it's almost a man's right to let loose some words ![]() Perhaps you should approach her about it? |

tryed..all she says is "its my religon and beliefs and i would perfer it if you or any one doesnt swear". Not caring about any one else, just her self. Shes pretty much trying to make her self a special case because shes one of the only 2 girls in the class. Like she will actually push us out of the way when we are watchin demos so she can get right up front so she can see and pretty much only she can see. She figures she gets special treatment because shes a female, but the other girl in our class just acts like one of the guys and doesnt give a sh*t. She pretty much wants every one to be like her and respect what she wants and wants every thing based around her. Thats what pisses me off.

Yeah I can't stand people who do that. It's one of the reasons I stopped going to church. If you want respect from other people you've gotta give them respect first.

well first off u should be offended, bcuz she as no right 2 push her stuff on you. and i hope some1 at the school kicks u out of class for saying "jesus christ" bcuz then u cant buy me a real gt-4 with the millions u get from the district for not separating church and state. but tell her u respect her opinion, but its a free country and u can say what u want. i mean there r so many things wrong with her acting like that. she has 2 realize her god is not every1 elses god. its selfish for her 2 act the way she is. i mean i love all people and i dont care how some1 chooses to express there spiritual believes. and if all that dont work tell her Jesus died on the cross so we can be forgiven, so ask her 2 "do what jesus would do" and forgive you!!!

I run away from people in the mall who run around saying "YOU ARE SINNING, CONVERT NOW!" It's a phobia of mine, lol.
Although I am currently in the process of converting to Catholicism, that kind of thing would really agitate me. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion. Unless it is a private christian college, if they are going to kick you out of class for cursing God's name in vain, then it is against the First Amendment. -------------------- |

Dude, I am religious and yet I don't try to change. The Lord is greater than all, and if it is necessary that I change, then He Himself will make that happen. Being Christian (or anything else for that matter) doesn't make you perfect, and there are many levels of which people are on. Those who go out of their way to correct you, are doing so for one of two reasons. One, that they care about you and would like to see you on the "Right" path. I was lead to believe in God from a young boy, but I strayed.. I got into witchcraft and other things. Refused to believe in God and put down all things religious. Then I began to have my revelations sent to me through my dreams. The visions I had both asleep and awake. God called out to me over time, and I was reminded of the odd things that took place in the past, that I questioned. Sorry, I strayed from my points. This is about you. Okay, so the other reason why they hit you up for correcting you is because (To remind you of the first reason, it is because they care about you. If it is a girl, then she likes you, but needs you to be equal to her, because religion is a huge part of her life, I will explain why this is important after this point). AHEM! Okay, the second reason is because they are up their @$$es! Looking for anyone to make an example of, to show how far they progressed and how much better they are.
Take the Pharisees from the Bible. They were people who earned this title. Once they got the title, they felt better than those who were below them. They forgot what they were. That is HUMAN. To be human is to error. Life is at a fine balance, and you cannot obtain "Perfect" but you can practice it. Such as Faith, Hope and Love. You cannot say "I have Love and it is going no where", because many things can happen. You can lose all of these, but the only way to obtain them, is to practice them. So, if the girl is trying to get you to come to God, perhaps she has an interest in you. The reason why it is important and why it is mostly successful to have God the main factor in your marriage is because, rather than seek Dr. Phill, or any human for that matter to get advice for the marriage...... You have God. So who counsels your marriage when the happiness doesn't last? The Bible. The one thing that you both built your life on. The reason why marriages are taken place in church is to receive God's blessing. So He can make it work. Aside from all this, I have had many experiences that make me a firm believer. But I do not try to change anyone, I only offer advice to those who ask. At any rate, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. As for the Libido of christian women? Very Strong! Imagine holding out for so long. Even if they are not pure... It is not wrong, the Song of Solomon answers most questions of a young man, that he would ask himself about a woman who lives her life for God. I offer friendship as well as advice to you my friend, PM me anytime. Good Luck. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

Thats stupid up that she would do that, im a christian yet I dont force my beliefs onto people, so what makes her so special.
![]() ![]() But anyways to the people who were wondering what gods name is I'm pretty sure to Jews its Yahweh, to muslims its Allah or whatev, and to christians its Jehovah.

Honestly.... I doubt that she even believes the BS that she is spitting out... Why else would she make it a point to go so overboard about things like swearing??
Tell her that her Jesus shirts offend you, and you would appreciate it if she respects your beliefs.... It has to go both ways.... I remember back in HS, they had christian clubs on campus and people wore their crosses and jesus shirts... but I got in trouble for wearing a cradle of filth t-shirt becasue i offended the christians.... This is all BS... the only ones offended were the ones trying to prove themselves to the REAL christians.. who really didnt give a **** what I wore..... I think of religion like any other club.... The real believers are pretty secure in what they believe and dont have to go bother anyone else with it... The noobs have to throw it in your face, just so your aware that they belong too..... pretty pathetic.... -------------------- -M-

I'm of the opinion that manners and morality have to be collapsible into one another and that one general rule can work in multiple situations depending on situational qualities soo if your at work lets say and a coworker corrects you on a seemingly minuscule error of etiquette what is the best course of action? lash out at the pretentious coworker for correcting you, or simply forgetting it and moving on minding not to repeat the situation...whats funny is where that comes from

Thats what you dont see in schools... But TEACHING I think when it comes to religion is completely different from preaching. Your learning about the religion but you obviously arent practicing it by any means... or being forced to for that matter. Thats why I dont see it as big of a deal in schools because your just going over lil general stuff about multiple religions. Your not even really going into deep deep detail about them either. Teachers arent throwing religion in your face like youd see at church... at least lets hope not anyways... I personally think church should stay as far away from schools as for lessons go.

Some of you guys forget what this country was founded upon. Sure it doesn't last today, but there was a time when the world seemed right, that people actually had morals. Wether you believe or not doesn't matter. Some of you out there have this liberal mentality that says "Do what you want, so long as it isn't hurting anyone else". But what about those who care for you? Those who want you to be doing good. Who can argue that what is in the Bible is not morally beneficial to us all as a thriving society? If you want to get into philosophy..... Please save it. Everyone has a philosophy, although I have seen people get so wrapped up in it..... They reminded me of a child who never settled for an answer, but just keep asking why as if only to be annoying. People do have a choice, although, when was the last time you loved something so much, that to see others go against it, it broke your heart? When was the last time you found something worth living for, and devoted your life souly to it, no matter how hard it was? If you hadn't noticed, I was speaking in past tense, because this is not a short term goal for these religious people. Yes, they are no different from you and I, although both sides should be respected. Just keep in mind, that not everyone can be satisfied, and all sides have to sacrifice a little, to comprise and co-exist. The world is governed by Balance. People need to understand that. There is no tipping of the scales here. We can't all plant trees, and make the world a better place. Some things have to just be. Therefore the source of true happiness is being Content. And I just rambled on a grip. Sorry guys. I am going to go back to my car now............ I feel strange now..........

I feel strange now.......... well u say we forgot what the US was founded on, well its was founded on lies. plain and simple, George Washington owened salves, we took land from whoever we wanted, and made laws to suit men, not people. If u think about why did people even come to America? 2 be free and 2 be able to priase whatever that want. We are free, so we can choose to have no morals if we want. I could walk into a church and curse up a strom, and guess what, i have the right to be there as the pastor. Morals are relative, freedom is a responsibility. its man greatest gift and plight, to be born free in the USA. -------------------- Your signature is not allowed on 6GC - Defgeph

There is no freedom. Yeah, America was made by lies. English came to American, fed up with paying taxes and their laws..... OMG! What has changed? Not a damn thing. I doubt someone would let another curse up a storm in a church though. I can almost bet someone might take some "Sin" to that "Chin". LOL That's what my friend says. Nothing unholy about knocking someone out. Anyhow, I am out this discussion. I talked about religion once in this other site..... oh man. It got ugly and I just left. I hope to stick around and make friends out of all of ya..... Regardless of what you believe. Let's keep it that way. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

Well the plain and simple fact of the matter is that some people are retards, and will act accordingly.
No matter how much of a cry she has, she can't get you kicked out anyway as that would be just a tad illegal ![]() -------------------- |

QUOTE(Supersprynt @ Apr 5, 2007 - 3:04 PM) [snapback]543559[/snapback] What kind of school is this? Religion should be left at the door. Infringes on your freedom of speech. They're also assuming your talking about their god, whose to say their god is THE god? Its a college. nothing like a catholic school or any thing. its a public college..we have people of like every race and religon there too, but yet somehow christianity is somethin that sticks out alot. Even weirder is that 1/3rd of the city i live in are arabic and most people are muslem. And NO!!!! shes not hot, so dont ask. Shes like 4'11, 80lbs, and her eyes are sunk back into her head. It looks like some one punched her in the eye and colapsed her skull. Its pretty gross looking. But NO SHE ISNT HOT IN THE SLIGHTEST. Apparently she is in that one form of chrisitani where the people think they can speak in tounges and think that because a preist or what ever hits them on the head and says "THE POWER OF GOD!" they are cured of every thing. Like thouse adds you see on tv at 1 in the mornin where people send $25 for a "prayer cloth"...she apparently bought one. But yea, people who go to these kinds of churches are very strange. My roomate's ex was like that and he went..she was "speaking in tounges" and had all of her knee pain cured *shes apparently had bad knees since she was 12 cuz of dancing*, and she stopped seeing my roomate because she said that shes sined with him because they had pre-marital sex. Now she told me she wont even look or talk to my room mate because when ever she does she gets indecent thoughts, which are sins, and is going against god..... ![]() This is why i dont get religion. People go so out of left feild and do crazy things because of it. Im off school untill monday, but then im gonna talk 2 my buddy, who is the class rep, and get him to talk to the head of the department and the founder of our section of the school. |

to answer the question : what would i do in this situation?: - i would say this next time she said anything about it "well i respect your opinion but you also need to respect mine because i am a human being and i have the same rights as you = freedom of speech! and i am not directly trying to offend you in any way or trying to make you be a certain way, unlike you are. so my suggestion to you miss is to grow up and realize that not everyone will agree with you and that you are one of many in this world just as i am, you are no one special just as i am so get off of your high horse and come back down to reality...me saying god dammit offends you, well you saying that i CAN'T say it offends me." something like that, and by the way if you are religious and are reading this i mean no disrespect to you and i have no problem with your religion..what i have a problem with is ignorant people that are apart of a religion that teaches love and peace and that type of deal but as soon as something or someone opposes them, is different, or does not agree with their beliefs they do what this girl did....
or you could dress up in all black with eyeliner on and listen to death metal near her....that would get a reaction out of her This post has been edited by b1gr3d: Apr 13, 2007 - 1:23 AM -------------------- Coming in 2010 full paintjob - new wheels - modified body - new interior - engine build- marriage |
