Some people I'm pretty close to are trying to get me to go to this bible camp group thing...I have mixed feelings on the matter.
This all happened after I got in a fight with this friend of a friend's friend about religion. I actually didn't start the fight this time. All I said was that I didn't believe, but it was okay if others did. But this stranger began to patronize me and treat me like a child. Look bud, I'm 31. I pay my taxes, I work, I'm not a kid. I can make decisions and I've decided religion is not for me. I told him that, but then he comes back with crap like "It's a shame, you seem nice." "The things you know are wrong." I didn't provoke this fellow...he came to me.
Later, in a flash of frustration, I post a quickie status about the event and how I just wanted people to let me be me.
Now I'm getting people asking me to join their bible studies and go on retreats. I felt kind of mixed because hey, a day to spend with family
but hey, a day they want to repair me
No matter how friendly or hardworking I am, churchgoers I come in contact with...new or well known...seem to assume I'm broken and in need of repair.
