What would you do in this position??, religous belifes... Options

[Valo666]

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.

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.

uhh whats this chick going to do when shes actually working in a real shop and the guys have the nudie pics up of girls?? i grew up my whole life in garages and shops (lol u wouldnt know it by my mechanical skills) and its just a part of shops. its a locker room! nudie pics, machines, swearing, etc. this chick needs to realize its the real world not lil house on the prarie. all you can do is tell people that you dont like what they do and would appreciate it if they didnt and if they continue then you just let it go.

i say with her you just take her a side and tell her that you see where she is coming from and that ur not religious but respect her beliefs but she needs to respect the fact that you both are very different and you will try to meet her in the middle and not use the lords name but you a swear word may come out of your mouth

I agree with you there. People can say other words instead of the words they choose when they curse, but the bottom line is, you are doing what you are doing. If I smashed my finger and said "Sugar coated butterflies" I am still swearing. So what is the difference? I never understood that. Besides, you said God. God isn't his name (if she was that religious, she would know what God's True name is.... Like it is hard to find out or anything. It's in the friggin Bible).
