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. |

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

But Laws were based off the commandments. (According to the Bible) the people were given Kings to govern over them, as they wanted. That is when law came into effect. It works right? The fact is..... 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
